Proposal tips: how to plan a memorable moment

You've found each other, and now you're considering proposing. Perhaps it feels obvious, perhaps it feels momentous. A proposal doesn't have to be perfect in every detail, but it should feel like you. Here, we go through what you can consider before the proposal, step by step.

Start with your own story

A proposal rarely becomes memorable because it resembles someone else's. It becomes memorable because it reflects your relationship. Ask yourself what matters most to you as a couple: a quiet evening at home, the place you met, or a trip you've both dreamed of. The ring becomes the start of your story, shaped from the ground up to feel as genuine as the relationship. Let your own style determine the expression, more than tradition or what you've seen others do.

Discreetly find out the ring size

One of the most common worries before a proposal is the ring size. You don't have to guess. Borrow a piece of jewelry that's already on their finger, ask a friend or family member for help to inquire, or discreetly measure while your partner is sleeping. If you're unsure, the size can always be adjusted afterward. We are happy to help you further; you can read more in our guide on how to find the right ring size.

Choose the occasion and place with care

There's no single right answer for where or when a proposal should happen. Some choose a place that already holds significance for the relationship, others prefer to create a new memory together. The most important thing is that the moment allows for presence, without stress and without too many eyes on you if that's not what you want.

Choose a ring that matches your style

When the focus shifts to the proposal itself, the ring should just work, as a reassuring part of the moment rather than something to worry about. Choose from our designed engagement rings or put your own touch on the design. Tradition or trend, it's your relationship that determines what feels right.

After the proposal

Once "yes" is said, new questions arise: how to care for the ring, and how a wedding ring can match the one you've already chosen. We are happy to guide you through that process, from care instructions to how the engagement ring can be complemented with a wedding ring that further enhances it.

Every ring we create is handcrafted in Jämtland, by artisans who have worked with gold, platinum, and silver for generations. Read more about our metals here. That's the security we want you to feel, no matter where or how you choose to propose.
