Big Rossi x Fergus James
At Fergus James, we believe the most powerful jewellery always begins with love — the kind of love that deserves to be immortalised in something timeless, meaningful, and deeply personal.
So when radio icon Big Rossi came to us with a vision for a custom engagement ring for the love of his life, Liz, we knew this would be more than just a piece of jewellery. It would be the beginning of a lifelong promise, captured in a single, unforgettable piece.
A Love Story Worth Designing For
Big Rossi has been a familiar voice in the UAE for years — warm, upbeat, and always real. As co-host of Virgin Radio’s The Kris Fade Show, he’s part of the soundtrack of daily life for thousands across the region. But while he’s known for his energy and humour on-air, what many don’t see behind the mic is a man deeply rooted in love, family, and intention.
Their love story is grounded in loyalty, joy, and the kind of partnership that only grows stronger with time. So when Rossi decided to propose, he wanted a ring that told that story — something elegant and timeless.
When Rossi approached Fergus James, he had one goal: to design a bespoke diamond engagement ring that captured everything Liz meant to him. Not just beauty — but devotion, authenticity, and the promise of forever.
The Custom Engagement Ring
Every great love story deserves an extraordinary ring — and this one was no exception. Crafted in our Dubai atelier, Rossi’s design featured a 3ct oval flawless centre diamond — ethically sourced, hand-selected, and set in a timeless solitaire design.
The diamond was hand-selected for more than just its sparkle — it had presence. The design was clean and refined, with proportions carefully balanced to suit Liz’s hand perfectly.
The setting: 18k white gold band, sculpted to showcase the diamond in its purest form. Understated yet undeniably radiant — a ring that speaks quietly, but powerfully.
Designed With Heart, Delivered With Intention
We had the privilege of working closely with Rossi throughout the entire process — from diamond selection and metal choice to the perfect proportions and setting style. Every decision was intentional, every detail deeply considered.
That’s the beauty of bespoke jewellery — it’s never rushed, never generic. It’s a piece made with someone specific in mind, and crafted to last a lifetime.
When Rossi collected the ring in our design studio, the moment felt as special as the ring itself — a quiet pause in the midst of life’s rush, where love took centre stage.
A Celebrity Proposal, A Real Love Story
As one of Dubai’s most recognised voices, Big Rossi’s life is often in the spotlight — but this moment was private, personal, and pure. The engagement was a celebration of love shared between two people, captured forever in a one-of-a-kind ring.
For us, creating jewellery for public figures isn’t about flash or fame — it’s about creating something real. That’s what we did for Big Rossi and Liz.
