It started with a kiss…
It started with a kiss, in a backrow at the movies.
It was followed by a whirlwind courtship.
But then I made an epic mistake.
I made a surprise marriage proposal.
But she HATED the ring!
Will she love the engagement ring?
Any guy who says he’s 100% confident his fiancee-to-be will love the engagement ring he picked is lying. Especially if the proposal is a planned surprise. Around one in three marriage proposals in America are just that – a surprise.
If you step back and think rationally about it how’s a guy who knows squat about Jewelry to begin with supposed to ace the perfect choice of diamond engagement ring for his beloved? Most men aren’t in the habit of wearing diamonds, and no men are mind readers.
The stats said it all. 72% of women say they wouldn’t trust their partner to choose their engagement ring.
The proposal was made and she said yes (Yay!) but I could see she was disappointed with the ring choice. It was a high quality natural diamond ring but it looked better in the box than it did on her finger. She later confessed, the ring just wasn’t her style.
Sure, your declaration of love and request for a lifetime commitment should be more important than a ring. Even if she really, really detests the ring, it doesn’t mean it’s all over. You still love each other.
But is does mean you failed the ring choice “Superman”. It may also mean financial loss if you chose to make a change. Typically, as soon as you leave the jeweler with a diamond, it loses over 50% of its value.
Looking back there was a better way I could have gone about it. A way in which a surprise proposal can still be made and she gets an engagement ring she loves.
We reduce groom stress
My epic mistake led to a business idea. Why not create for prospective grooms a range of affordable fake engagement rings? Sometimes called “placeholder” or “stand-in” rings they should look exactly like the real deal. A placeholder ring is a ring she can wear until you decide to commit to the real-deal. The quality should be so high that nobody knows that sparkler on her finger is a temporary engagement ring. These rings should look exactly like the real deal but solve the problem of surprise and eliminate the risk of financial loss.
A fake engagement ring solves three problems
Luxuria’s collection of diamond simulant engagement rings aims to look exactly like the real deal but solve the problem of surprise and eliminate the risk of financial loss. It does this three ways.
First, you don’t have to risk spending thousands of dollars on a diamond engagement ring that she may hate. The diamond ring may not suit her tastes and may not fit properly. You may not be able to get a refund.
Second, fake diamond rings solve the problem of surprise. You don’t have to give the game away by asking her or her friends what style of engagement ring she likes. Put your energy instead into a creative proposal that will never be forgotten!
Third, if she says yes congratulations! Later when budget allows and time permits you can shop for the real deal together. She’ll love that idea. This ensures she gets what she wants – and only she knows that. Further, your placeholder / proposal ring is not wasted because it can take on a second life as a travel ring.
“Let’s face it: Getting down on one knee and asking someone to spend the rest of her life with you can be pretty daunting!”
Don’t risk the disappointment of presenting her with an expensive diamond ring she may hate. A temporary fake solitaire ring can take a lot of stress out of popping the question.
