Dropping a hint

Giving your guy a subtle nudge in the right direction is completely encouraged! In reality he may not even know the style or diamond setting you want exists.

So what nudge, or hint, works best? It’s different for everyone but give the following a try!

1) TALK TO HIM

Talk to him and discuss some ideas and styles. Mention your taste in jewellery or guide him with examples of existing pieces you may have. Reassure him that he’s in control and you trust him to make the decision on his own.

We’ll take it from there… we have an uncanny ability to work with guys to translate a vision into a stunning reality – your incredible engagement ring.

2) PIN IT, SHARE IT, POST IT, PLACE IT

It’s never been easier to collect and share images and inspiration online. Collect all the inspiration he needs and subtly share it on a social network or via email . Alternatively, you can always print him out a picture or two. A great place to start collecting inspiration and ring examples is our Inspiration Gallery or simply follow us on Instagram.

3) INCLUDE FAMILY OR FRIENDS

Have a trusted friend or family member accompany him, one who knows your style and the design you have in mind.

“Hi Randy ,

Happy New Year and she said YES . She really loves the ring and it fits perfect. She want some engraving at the bottom and nothing else. Very well done. She kept looking at the ring all night haha. Will book an appointment sometime later during the month to get the engraving done.

Thank you so much will continue shopping at your place. ”
