Our shoppers are our MiaDonnaHeroes! Thank you to #MiaDonnaHeroes like Maggie and Cameron for letting their love be a part of the solution. Let’s learn more about their love story!
How did you first learn about MiaDonna and what inspired you to purchase from us?
I found MiaDonna online while I was searching for local ring stores that sourced conflict-free lab diamonds! I loved all the rings on the website and knew I wanted to go in-store to check them out!
Let's go back to the beginning - how did you and your partner first meet?
My fiance, Cameron, and I started dating when I was 19 and he was 20. I got a job hostessing at a new restaurant opening in town and Cameron's roommate/best friend also got a job serving at the same restaurant. One day he invited me over for a party at their house where I met Cameron! We started to hang out more and more and I could tell he had a crush on me. After a year of being just friends he kissed me and we've been us ever since!

Congratulations on your engagement ring! Which ring did you get, and why?
I got the Millie Hidden Halo Engagement Ring and I am OBSESSED with it! I knew I wanted an oval diamond with a really simple thin gold band and the Millie was exactly what I was envisioning! I also really wanted a hidden halo which the Millie already included!

Mind telling us the proposal story? Please? We LOVE your love!
Cameron and I visited Leavenworth, Washington back in 2021 and stayed in an Airbnb that I fell in love with. It had a huge yard and cows on the next property that would come to the fence every morning. We brought our two dogs and it was just the most fun and relaxing weekend. In 2022, we had a trip planned to go back to Leavenworth, but Cameron surprised me with a trip to the coast the weekend before. I was convinced it was going to happen then but it didn't. The next weekend while we were back in Leavenworth, Cam pulled into the street the last Airbnb we stayed and said he wanted to go see it again. We pulled up to the house and wanted us to get out but I was hesitant because I thought someone would be staying there. When we got to the back there was a blanket set up with our pillows and picture frames from home. He gave the best little speech to me in tears and then our dogs and a photographer ran out to join us. His sister had driven from Seattle to help set up. It was perfect!!
Have you gotten married yet, or still planning? Either way, we'd love to know how and when you do, or did!
We are still planning! As I'm writing this, we are exactly three months away and it feels so real! We had our Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties this weekend and then our Couple's Shower is in two weeks!

What's your favorite compliment you've gotten about your MiaDonna jewelry?
Literally every time I am in public, I get a compliment on how shiny it is. When I'm in the sun it is an absolute disco ball and I love disco balls so I love it SO much!

Congratulations, Maggie and Cameron!
You are our heroes! We couldn't do this without you. It's only because of you that we can empower people in mining communities to thrive in a life outside of the diamond and gold industries.
