Rings, Diamonds, and Surprises: Finding the Perfect Proposal Style for You

Hey there! If you’re thinking about how to propose to your partner, you might be wondering - ‘what’s the best way to do this?’.

Proposals are incredibly personal, and what feels right for one might not be the same for others. But don’t worry, we’re here to share a few heartfelt options that can help you find the perfect way to pop the question:

1)⌇Propose with the Engagement Ring

If you have a good idea of what design your partner dreams of, this is a beautiful route to take. There’s something incredibly romantic about presenting the actual engagement ring during the proposal.

Many people appreciate it when their partner designs the ring because it shows thoughtfulness and effort, and feel special and excited to see what their partner selects to showcase their understanding of what they like.

Just a little tip: if you are considering a bespoke or custom ring, keep in mind it can take about 4-8 weeks to create, so plan ahead!

2⌇Propose with a Loose Diamond/Gemstone

If you’re not quite sure about the design, no worries! You can propose with a loose diamond or gemstone. This way, you’ll still keep the surprise element alive, and then you can go together afterward to design the perfect setting. It takes the pressure off making the perfect ring design straight away. Plus, we provide a lovely box to showcase the diamond/gemstone.

3⌇Choose the Diamond/ Gemstone and Design the Ring Together

This is a popular option nowadays, and for good reason! While it’s lovely to propose with a ring or diamond, there’s something truly exciting about sharing the experience of picking out the diamond and designing the ring together. It’ll be a sweet memory to look back on!

4⌇ Propose with Something Sentimental - Designing the Ring Together Can Come Later!

You could also consider proposing with a sentimental item as a placeholder and create the ring together afterward. This could be an heirloom ring filled with meaning, or a simple promise ring that serves as a sweet reminder of your commitment. Sometimes, it doesn’t have to be a ring; it could be something else of sentimental value. One of our customers proposed with an adorable puppy, symbolising the new chapter they would share together.

Choosing What’s Right for You

In the end, the best choice is one that feels authentic to you and reflects your love.

Communication matters, so tune into your partner’s preferences and notice the little hints they share. They might cherish the thought and effort you put into creating a ring that incorporates elements they’ve mentioned in passing, or they may prefer to be part of the design process themselves. After all, you know them best!
