As the landscape of engagement ring shopping continues to evolve, a trend has emerged, where couples are increasingly opting for a collaborative approach in the selection and design process. Anyone who has ever tried to buy jewellery as a gift knows how complicated the process can be, so it’s been fascinating to see how the shift towards valuing shared experiences has been influencing even traditional milestones like an engagement.
Getting engaged is kind of a big deal. In the olden days, it would be the knight in shining armour who gets down on one knee and presents the fair maiden with a ring that symbolises their betrothal. Thankfully, times have changed as have some traditions, and the idea of how to propose is completely up to each individual couple. It doesn’t need to be a big surprise event with a sunset cruise and rose petals, it can be a conversation. It doesn’t have to be a surprise ring at the bottom of a champagne flute, it can be a pre-chosen design that you know is exactly what they want.
