Proposal Ring FAQs

What is a proposal ring?

A proposal ring is the initial ring you wear when you pop the question. It allows you to surprise your partner while giving them the opportunity to design their dream engagement ring later.

Can I customise my proposal ring?

While our proposal rings come in set designs, we offer many styles and options. Customisation happens when you return to design the final engagement ring together.

How much does a proposal ring cost?

We charge $150 for the loan of the proposal ring. We credit this back when we design and complete your actual ring, so it’s essentially free—how cool is that?

How long does the design process take for the final ring?

The process typically takes two weeks, but we can accommodate rush orders in as little as one week if required. We understand she needs the ring on her finger as soon as possible.
