Virtual Appointment

There's no doubt you love your partner, but how is your relationship at the moment? If you're going through a rough patch, it's better to wait a bit. Many people make the mistake of proposing when things aren’t going well, thinking it will magically fix everything. A stable relationship is the first step to asking them to marry you.
It should be a surprise, but they shouldn't be completely clueless about your plans. It's crucial that, before giving them the ring, you've both talked about your future and agreed that you want to get married. Don’t assume anything if you haven't discussed it! Remember, this is a major decision that both of you should make together, not under pressure. If you're sure they want to marry you, go ahead.
At Harmony Jewels, our experts will guide you through the thrilling process of creating the perfect bespoke engagement ring. Visit our Hatton Garden shop or book a virtual appointment, ask all the questions you want, and if you're still not sure what kind of ring they like, get advice from close friends or family. Let us help you with more tips for choosing the perfect ring.
Your partner knows you’ll ask them to marry you someday, but they don't know how or when. Keep your plans secret so that the moment catches them by surprise. There’s nothing more exciting than an unexpected proposal!
For the perfect proposal, you'll need some accomplices. Talk to their sibling or best friend and share your plans. They can guide you on the best time and conditions for the proposal. Even better, they might help you organise the event. Of course, ask them to keep it completely confidential.
Did you see the video of the person proposing with a massive flash mob at Disney World? It sounds amazing, but it might not be what your partner would appreciate most. Think about whether they're outgoing or more reserved, if they'd prefer a public proposal, one with family and friends, or something intimate where they can feel completely comfortable.
People are very perceptive, sometimes too much so. This means that if you’re a bundle of nerves, your partner will notice something’s up... and they might not think the best. Relax and enjoy the process; everything will turn out fine!
Don't do it until you feel ready, determined, and calm. Avoid proposing in the midst of a rush or a difficult situation. You can choose a special day, like your anniversary or a holiday together. Also, ask their friends when they’d like to get married: if they say your partner dreams of a winter wedding, don’t give them the ring in December; they might not like the idea of waiting a whole year to get married.
It's true that marriage proposals often focus on one partner, but it would be a big mistake to forget about what you want. What would you like? A public and flashy event or something more romantic and private? In what circumstances will you feel most comfortable asking the question that will change your lives?
Finally, for the perfect proposal, rather than planning a grand production, think of something special and focus on the most important details. The more elements you try to include, the higher the chance of something going awry. Concentrate on what truly matters, and let everything else fall into place.
