Proposal ring for valentine

Valentine's Day is the day of love par excellence, so it's no surprise it's a top proposal time. The proposal ring is a promise of commitment and the beginning of your beautiful life together. With three generations of expertise in the diamond retail industry, we at Ananta by Devi Diamonds know how crucial it is to choose the perfect ring.


Here's a step-by-step guide to help you choose the perfect proposal ring for this special occasion.



Understanding Your Partner’s Style


The key to choosing a proposal ring is knowing your partner's style and way of living.

  • Jewellery Habits: Observe their jewellery habits. Do they prefer understated and elegant pieces or striking, showy ones? A minimalist might love a simple solitaire, while a person who likes to make an entrance might appreciate a halo or vintage-style ring, giving you access to a whole set cocktail collection.


  • Lifestyle Factors: If they wear jewellery daily and have an energetic lifestyle, durability is essential. Choose strong metals such as platinum and secure settings such as bezel or prong styles. Having gold as the choice of metal, most of our customers prefer 14k over 18k, since 14k gold can provide better gripping for small stones across the ring. 


  • Wardrobe & Accessories: Observe the colours and styles of their clothing and accessories. This can provide valuable hints about their design sensibilities.



Choosing the Right Diamond


Understanding the 4Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat—is crucial when selecting a diamond.


  • Cut: The most important factor affecting a diamond’s brilliance. Opt for an excellent or very good cut for maximum sparkle.


  • Colour: Diamonds range from colourless (graded D) to yellow (graded Z). For a balanced choice, consider G-grade diamonds. We offer our lab-grown diamonds in G and better colours.  

  • Clarity: This refers to the presence of internal or surface flaws. A VS1 or VS2 grade offers excellent clarity without visible imperfections.


  • Carat: Carat weight influences size. Strike a balance between size and quality based on your budget.


Lab-created diamonds are becoming popular due to their ethical and environmentally friendly production process. They are as brilliant and durable as mined diamonds but at a lower cost.



Selecting the Perfect Ring Setting


The ring setting significantly impacts the overall look and feel of the ring.


  • Classic Solitaire: Timeless and elegant, featuring a single diamond for maximum focus.


  • Halo Setting: A centre stone surrounded by smaller diamonds for added sparkle and a larger appearance.


  • Vintage Designs: Inspired by past eras, these rings often feature intricate details like filigree and milgrain.


Metal Options:

  • Gold (Yellow, White, Rose): A timeless and universal choice, with rose gold providing a romantic touch.


  • Platinum: Extremely durable and hypoallergenic, ideal for daily wear.


  • Mixed Metals: A contemporary fashion choice that combines metals for a unique look.



Finding the Right Ring Size


Choosing the correct ring size is essential for a perfect fit. Here are some discreet ways to determine it:


  • Borrow a Ring: Sneakily borrows one of their rings and takes it to a jeweller for measurement.

  • Ask Friends or Family: Trusted individuals can provide insights without spoiling the surprise.

  • Ring Size Chart: Use an online ring size chart to compare an existing ring.

  • Visit a Jeweler: Schedule a casual outing where they can try rings for fun.



Customizing the Ring for a Personal Touch


Adding personalized elements makes the ring even more meaningful.


  • Engravings: Include a special message, initials, or significant date on the band.

  • Hidden Diamonds: Place small diamonds on the inner band or sides for a unique touch.

  • Symbolic Elements: Incorporate designs that reflect shared experiences or symbols of your relationship.


Personalization enables you to design your special ring that chronicles your love story. We at Devi Diamonds provide flexible customizations to our customers to match their stories. 



Setting a Budget Without Compromising on Quality


Thoughtful budgeting allows you to get a high-quality ring without stress.


  • Quality and Affordability: Prioritize the 4Cs and value cut and carat for brilliance.

  • Financing: Many jewellers offer instalment plans to make payments easier.

  • Value of Lab-Grown Diamonds: Lab-grown diamonds are better value for money, and buyers can afford higher-quality, larger diamonds within budget.



Where to Buy the Perfect Proposal Ring?


Selecting a trusted jeweller is vital to ensuring authenticity and quality.


  • Online vs. In-Store: Online stores often offer competitive prices and customization options, while in-store shopping provides a tactile experience.


  • Certifications: Look for diamonds certified by reputable organizations like IGI (International Gemological Institute) or GIA (Gemological Institute of America) to ensure quality and authenticity.


  • Trusted Jewelers: Due to a surge in demand for lab diamonds across the Indian market, a lot of new brands are entering the space with satisfactory sourcing and quality. Devi Diamonds has been an established brand in the natural diamond space for 3 generations, providing expert craftsmanship and ethical sourcing.



Planning the Perfect Valentine’s Day Proposal


The ring is only half the picture. Planning an unforgettable proposal is just as important. Here are some Romantic Proposal Ideas:


  • Intimate dinner at a special restaurant.

  • A spectacular outdoor setting like a garden or beach.

  • Surprise weekend getaway to a special location.

  • Capturing the Moment: Hire a photographer or videographer to capture the proposal.

  • Pick a sentimental location with candles, flowers, or special decorations.

  • Personal Touches: Add elements with personal sentiments, like a playlist of special songs or recreating your first date.
