CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: Michelle & Nishad’s BESPOKE ENGAGEMENT RING
Michelle and Nishad’s journey with AARYAH began when Michelle discovered our unique, vintage-inspired designs on Instagram. They are based in Elkridge, MD, just outside of Baltimore, but are about to start an exciting nomadic adventure around the country. From their first in-person meeting with our team to designing their perfect bespoke pieces, Michelle and Nishad’s story is a true testament to how AARYAH helps couples create rings that are as unique and meaningful as their love.
How They Met
Michelle and Nishad first crossed paths on Hinge in August 2023. Their first date was at Nishad’s pool and turned into a 72-hour adventure. Michelle describes the connection as immediate, saying, “We’ve pretty much been inseparable since!”
Finding AARYAH
Michelle was drawn to AARYAH’s one-of-a-kind designs, especially our champagne cushion diamond. “I knew I wanted a champagne cushion for its beauty and opulence, and then saw the Mae and knew I needed it!” she shared. They planned a trip to NYC for an in-person appointment, and after trying it on, she was convinced.
“Once I had it on my finger, it was game over.”
The Proposal
Nishad originally planned a proposal in the Smoky Mountains, but Michelle’s intuition gave it away. “I could sense Nishad’s nervous energy,” she said, “but we both blacked out during the proposal! We’re so grateful to have the photos to help with the memories.”
Nishad ended up surprising Michelle at Bluemont Vineyard on December 23rd during a wine tasting. “It was perfect and everything I could have asked for,” Michelle added.
Creating the Wedding Band
Michelle knew exactly what she wanted for her wedding band: it had to complement her engagement ring without negative space. “I knew I wanted my band to interact nicely with my ring,” she said. Megan, worked closely with them to turn Michelle’s ideas into reality. “Megan was so helpful in hearing all of my inarticulate thoughts and preferences and honing them into something beautiful,” Michelle shared.
Eloping in Acadia National Park
Michelle and Nishad chose to elope in Acadia National Park, where they could focus entirely on their love. “We wanted the day to revolve solely around the two of us,” Michelle said. Their vows exchange in such a serene, natural setting made the moment even more special.
Final Thoughts
For Michelle and Nishad, their bespoke rings are a perfect reflection of their unique love. “My favorite part is just how unique the rings are,” Michelle shared. “I know I will cherish these babies for years to come and never get tired of the design.”
