What Our Customers Say
"This was a fantastic proposal ring to have for the moment of proposing, it looks great and indistinguishable from a diamond for the average person who might see it. Highly recommended if you want to do a surprise proposal first with a great looking but reasonably priced ring, and then decide your actual engagement ring with your partner after."

Everybody is telling her how beautiful it is! Just wanted to let you know and to say thanks so much!
Matt
If you are a partner who is struggling to decide on a ring design, I highly recommend this route. It turns the "choice" into a shared memory you can create together later. More importantly, if you want to buy from someone who will treat your engagement with the same importance as you do, buy from David. The peace of mind I had, knowing he was doing everything possible to help me, was worth every penny.

Great for a temporary solution that looks great for photos and on the actual proposal

Our proposal rings follow the same ethos of a traditional engagement ring, high quality materials combine for a stunning placeholder engagement ring. To the naked eye, you'd think it was a real diamond engagement ring, but using a diamond alternative makes them more affordable.
Proposing with a placeholder engagement ring means you can enjoy choosing the forever engagement ring together, as a couple, ensuring it's exactly what your partner has always dreamt of.
Adjustable Size for a Perfect Fit
Trying to guess your partner's ring size can be stressful, but our adjustable size proposal rings ensure a perfect fit every time. Designed with a band that slides inside itself at the base, they effortlessly expand and contract on the spot for a perfect fit. The range of adjustment accounts for the ring sizes that make up over 95% of engagement ring sales in the UK, covering UK rings sizes I through to S. Once adjusted, they stay securely and comfortably in place.
The discreet design means our adjustable proposal rings look just like a traditional engagement ring. It’s the ideal choice for a seamless, stress-free proposal.
We know the importance of keeping the secret, so we post all our rings in plain packaging with no branding - there's nothing to indicate what the contents are, nothing to give the game away.
We use the Royal Mail Tracked 24 delivery service, which means you can keep an eye on where your ring is up to and when it's going to arrive. This service doesn't require a delivery signature, which means the ring will be delivered subtly through your letterbox without attracting unwanted attention.
About Us
We're a family business, run by husband and wife team David & Victoria. David used a placeholder engagement ring for our own engagement and that experience inspired us to help others. We can directly relate to the motivations for using a proposal ring and can talk to the benefits of being able to enjoy the traditional surprise proposal while also choosing the perfect ring together as a couple.
Premium Diamond Alternatives
To the naked eye, it's difficult to distinguish between a moissanite proposal ring and a real diamond engagement ring. We chose moissanite as a premium diamond alternative because it has exceptional light dispersion giving it an intense sparkle, it's naturally colourless and it's hard-wearing like a natural diamond too. Moissanite offers exceptional brilliance at a fraction of the cost.
Our stunning proposal rings are in stock and ready for immediate UK delivery. Perfect for spontaneous proposals or a last-minute travel ring for holidays. There's no need to delay your plans, order now for fast, discreet, first-class UK delivery.
Why Propose with a Placeholder Engagement Ring?
It's often very difficult to know exactly what style of engagement ring your partner has always dreamt of, there are so many little details to get right, using a proposal ring as a placeholder engagement ring takes the pressure off. It’s ideal if you don’t know your partner's ring size, aren't sure on the style they'd choose or simply want your partner to be involved in selecting the forever engagement ring. It’s a thoughtful option that still allows you to have that traditional proposal moment, while allowing flexibility. If you're asking yourself "should I buy a proposal ring?" then take comfort in the fact that you're in good company, as thousands of people in the UK are now choosing to propose with a placeholder engagement ring, and there are a number of reasons why a proposal ring might be the right choice for you too.
Do you know what style of engagement ring is right?
Don't feel bad if you don't know what your partner's dream engagement ring looks like, it's a common reason for choosing a placeholder engagement ring. Maybe you’re not sure if they’d prefer silver or gold, or even white gold or platinum. You probably haven't considered how thick the band should be to suit their hand and their other rings. Did you know that ring bands come in different styles too? Which would they prefer and how they would want the diamond mounted? Do they even want a diamond? While diamond engagement rings remain popular, there are so many different gemstone, colours and styles available, which would they choose? A placeholder engagement ring lets you take your time to figure that out, together. It gives you space to explore styles and preferences together as a couple, so you can pick the perfect ring later on, knowing it will be something your partner truly loves. You don’t have to rush the decision, and you can make sure the final choice is just right.
Do you know what size of engagement ring to buy?
It's normal to not know your partner's ring size, and it can be hard to find out what it is without ruining the surprise of your proposal. If that sounds like the predicament you're facing, you're not alone, that's exactly why we sell adjustable engagement rings. Adjustable engagement rings can be quickly and easily resized on the spot to perfectly fit your partner's finger, without the need for professional resizing. The sterling silver band slides within itself at the base, allowing the ring to expand or contract for a perfect fit. Once adjusted to the desired size, the ring holds its shape for a secure fit. The discreet design means that when worn, the ring looks just like a traditional engagement ring, and looks spectacular in photos. It’s an ideal choice if you’re unsure of your partner’s ring size and wish to maintain the element of surprise.
Do you need an engagement ring in a hurry?
Sometimes, life presents the perfect moment to propose, but you might not have had the time to shop for an engagement ring yet. Whether it’s a spontaneous moment, a family event, or a planned trip, you may want to pop the question right then and there. Traditional engagement rings often have a long lead time and can take weeks or months to arrive depending on your requirements. Our rings are in stock and ready to ship, meaning you can be ready to propose in days rather than weeks. A placeholder engagement ring can help mark the start of your engagement without having to delay the proposal. It means you can look forward to choosing the perfect ring together later, when the timing is better for both of you.
