The Trevi Fountain is one of Rome’s most romantic landmarks, but its most magical moment is at dawn. In the peaceful early hours, the soft pink light enhances every curve of the marble, revealing its quiet beauty. Traditionally tied to the gesture of tossing a coin to make a wish, the fountain also symbolizes hope and new beginnings. According to legend, tossing three coins over your shoulder grants a wish for marriage and it is said that it truly works.

At sunrise, with the fountain still serene and crowd-free, the atmosphere is perfect for a heartfelt proposal. Amid the soft light and the sound of flowing water, Bon Gioielli’s You and Me ring becomes the ideal symbol of unity. Inspired by Albireo, a double star known for its balance and harmony, this elegant design features two diamonds, representing the strength of a union between two souls.
