Your Cart is Empty
If the time to propose has arrived and you still haven’t found the perfect ring, you may feel as though all your careful plans have been ruined.
However, you do have another option, one that may be better in the long run. You can propose with a sample ring, and then go together to pick out the perfect engagement ring.
Not only does this allow you to pop the question at the perfect moment, it also allows you to ensure that your fiancée gets precisely the ring they want. This can also be another lovely moment for the two of you to embark on your new life together.
Getting down on one knee and presenting a ring is an essential part of a proposal for many. The ring is often used in a surprise “hidden” manner, such as hiding it in champagne or food. For these cases, a nice plastic ring that doesn’t look too fake is a great option. It won’t matter if the ring gets dirty or harmed in the surprise presentation, and there is less chance that your perfect ring will chip any teeth!
If you know that you’ll be purchasing a designer ring from us, we offer the opportunity to rent a ring from our samples.
After the happy event, you and your fiancée can choose a ring from our limited edition collections, or order a bespoke ring through our customised process. The rental will be returned to our samples, and you can leave with the perfect personalised ring.

Many people choose to purchase a more inexpensive ring for the proposal, choosing something that they know their significant other will like enough to wear for the photos and happy weeks following the proposal.
This ring is meant to be a temporary item, and an official engagement ring will follow later. Some choose to replace the proposal ring right away, while others wait until the wedding day to don a matching wedding set.
Ring size is something that many significant others simply cannot find out without giving away the surprise. For this reason, sample rings or rentals are a great idea.
You can propose with a sample ring that is in an “average” size, and if it doesn’t fit, you don’t have to go through a costly resizing.
With the options that are available for a stand-in, you should find it easy to propose with something that communicates your intent and love. When you go together to shop for a ring, you’ll be able to choose designs that match your wedding bands and suit your unique love story.
