Meet Shannon. She won a platinum Tacori engagement ring from our giveaway earlier this year. Thousands of people entered to win but only she got the coveted ring. Check out the Q&A we did with her below:

Name: Shannon Bray

Occupation: Auditor

Age: 30

Are you in love? Have you found the one? When were you planning to get engaged?

Unfortunately not in love, or even dating at the moment. I saw your contest while looking at dresses to wear to my cousin’s upcoming wedding, and thought the ring was so beautiful! So I just entered. I never imagined that I would actually win, and at first it was pretty funny, particularly given that I am not even dating right now. But the ring is really beautiful, and it makes me hope I can get engaged one of these days!

Why is he your dream guy , if not who is it?

This is a tough question… Im not sure who my dream guy is, having not met him yet! (Although if we are truly talking dream guys, I would have to say Colin Firth.) I like guys who are funny, and who value their family, and who are nice, and down to earth.

Why did you decide to participate to the sweepstakes? Have you ever won anything before?

Other than a CD I won from a radio station once, I have never won anything before! I just entered on a whim, because the ring was so pretty in the advertisement. (And in real life too!)

Now that you have the ring on… what can you tell us about it?

I can tell you that even though when I was a little kid / teenager I always said I wouldn’t want a diamond ring because “that’s what everyone has”. Completely changed my mind on that one – this ring is so beautiful, and I love that it is Platinum. (Never have been a fan of yellow gold.) I would love a ring exactly like this someday, although from the dream guy who has yet to be determined! I also have noticed I really really like having a ring on that left hand… so I may have to kick the “find the dream guy” routine into overdrive here!
