If the time has come to pop the question to that special person in your life, you want that moment to be as perfect and as memorable as possible. Choosing the right setting and the ideal time to propose will be very important, however finding the perfect engagement ring is what will really bring a tear of happiness to his or her eye.

With such a vast selection of colours, styles and designs to choose from, the task can seem a little daunting. You will perhaps have dropped various subtle hints here and there to try and discover exactly what will make the perfect ring for your partner, but sometimes their idea of perfection may not be on display in the shop window. After all an engagement ring is a very precious and personal exchange between two people.

Designing your engagement ring for your partner is a wonderful way to create a ring that you know he or she will adore. You can choose from gold engagement rings, white gold engagement rings or even platinum, and select from any of the various ring shapes to suit your partners taste. Then of course is the all important diamond. You can choose the size of diamond, and have it designed and fitted to create the perfect ring for your partner.

The other advantage to customised engagement rings is that you can have them made to exactly fit your partner’s measurements, so no risk of your beautiful engagement ring getting stuck or dropping to the floor seconds after you have proposed.

Whether you want to design the ring yourself, or simply want an extensive collection of rings from which to choose the perfect size and shape, at Marlows we are one of the leading certified diamond specialists in the UK, and can provide you with the best in quality and quantity.
