Proposing at New Year: getting the engagement ring ready in time

New Year Eve is one of the most popular proposal dates. The ring has to be started early.

Countdown Early November: stone selection. Mid November: sketch and 3D model. Late November: casting, setting, polishing. Mid December: ready, with room for a size correction.

Finding the size discreetly Bring a ring she wears on the right ring finger, trace its inner outline, or ask a sister or friend. Otherwise we build an average size and plan a free adjustment — but only a plain band can be resized easily.

The stone Diamond for classics, sapphire for durability, emerald for expression, ruby for a warm formal look. A halo makes a modest centre stone look far larger.

Discretion We agree the contact channel in advance so the surprise holds.
