From Goals to Gold: Lawrence Shankland’s Winning Choice with Fergus James

When it comes to scoring in life, few do it quite like Lawrence Shankland. The Scottish striker, known for finding the back of the net with ease, recently made the most important assist of his career — proposing with a Fergus James engagement ring, followed by wedding bands crafted with the same precision as his on-pitch performance.

When you’re ready to commit to forever, only a perfect diamond will do.

At Fergus James, we believe in crafting jewellery as personal and powerful as life’s biggest moments. And for Lawrence Shankland, that moment was choosing the perfect ring to mark his next chapter.

Here’s how this football star traded goalposts for gold bands — and why Fergus James was the only team he trusted to get it right.

A Striker Who Knows a Winning Finish

Known for his sharp instincts and lethal finishing, Lawrence Shankland has built his football career on precision and consistency — two qualities that translate surprisingly well to choosing an engagement ring.

After all, picking a diamond is a lot like finding the net: it’s all about the right angle, flawless execution, and of course, a little bit of magic.

When it came time to pop the question, Shankland swapped the pitch for the proposal — opting for a classic yet elevated design that reflects both timeless romance and personal style. His chosen ring? A stunning Fergus James diamond solitaire — a piece that, like any good striker, is impossible to miss.

At Fergus James, we’re no strangers to working with elite athletes, global celebrities, and discerning clients who expect nothing but the best. From proposal planning to diamond selection, Lawrence entrusted our team to help him create a ring worthy of his fiancée — and their future together.

The result? A diamond engagement ring designed to shine as bright as their love story. Hand-selected natural diamonds. Flawless craftsmanship. And of course, a bespoke touch that made it unmistakably theirs.

But the journey didn’t stop at ‘Yes’. Lawrence returned to Fergus James to complete the story — selecting wedding bands crafted to complement the engagement ring, creating a seamless set that symbolises commitment, partnership, and shared goals.

Because at Fergus James, it’s never just a ring. It’s a forever piece.
