I spread the word about my service by planting 'secret agents' into businesses all over the UK. 'Agent S' works in real estate, 'Agent P' in publishing, 'Agent J' is a barber and 'Agent M' is a taxi cab driver.
I knew I was onto something seven years ago when I was unexpectedly helping a diamond expert with a project in London's jewellery quarter and a friend of a friend rang me to say he wanted to buy an engagement ring, but couldn't leave his desk at work.
Walking out of that huge glass lobby in 2013, a seed had been planted. I knew I couldn't carry on transporting diamonds sandwiched between my grocery shopping forever and I certainly didn't want to be transporting any cash around—but it was thrilling to have been so helpful that day and great fun for our friend too.
In reality it was a bit too big, the stone kept falling off the side of her finger—we had to put some grippers on the inside of the ring to keep it upright! The funniest thing about being a secret engagement ring agent is that 99 percent of my clients never tell their partner I was even involved. I go to great lengths to ensure we're never caught. The one time my client's partner answered the phone at our allotted call time I pretended to be his dental hygienist reminding him of an overdue appointment—I make sure to know my clients' dental surgery's name in the briefing form.
When the pandemic hit, all those water-cooler moments inside my hidden agent's offices abruptly stopped, the barber shops closed their doors and my taxi drivers weren't on the road as frequently. Globally, many diamond trading floors shut down and hallmarkers temporarily prevented metals being stamped and completed.
Dan and I have been together for 11 years and I actually always thought I'd be the one to propose to him. But in the end we asked each other Central Park, New York in 2016. I gave Dan a watch and he gave me a beautiful pair of earrings.
