01. The Proposal
When we consider why a ring is so essential for a Marriage Proposal, we find that the meaning behind this life-changing gesture is deeply profound. In ancient Roman times, the man would give a gold ring when proposing marriage, and when the woman subsequently wears it, it’s a signal that the woman agrees that she belongs to the man. The cultural meaning of the expression evolved over the ages, and the Engagement Ring became the first step in beginning the commitment to marriage. To this day, a proposal with a diamond engagement ring continues to play a pivotal role in the story of couples everywhere.

Diamonds symbolize “eternity”, and so when a man proposes to his other half, he usually presents a diamond ring, in recognition of the significance and solidity of the bond on throughout future ages.
In terms of practical advice when it comes to selecting and purchasing a ring, you can ascertain the suitability of a ring across the following important aspects:
In terms of practical advice when it comes to selecting and purchasing a ring, you can ascertain the suitability of a ring across the following important aspects:
4C Standard
The 4Cs refer to the cut, colour, clarity and carat weight of a diamond. Excellent Cut can enhance the brightness and sparkle of diamonds; meanwhile, Colour is divided into 23 grades (coded D to Z), which go from almost colourless to pale yellow. Generally, diamonds that are almost transparent and colourless are more valuable; the standard of Clarity is used to identify the inclusions and blemishes of a diamond. The higher the clarity, the fewer flaws, and the higher the price. For Carat, it represents the weight. It’s worth saying that each and every individual person has different requirements for the 4Cs. It is suggested that the man should first understand the preferences of the other half, so as to choose a unique engagement diamond ring that is the most suited to personal circumstance as well as individual preference.

Diamond shape
There are many different shapes of diamonds, such as round, pear-shaped, heart-shaped, and more innovative forms too, as the art evolves and encompasses new generations of designers, jewellers and artisans. Among all of the available forms, round diamonds are the most popular. This is because the cutting technology can bring out the greatest level of brilliance of the diamonds, and also the fact that “perfectly round" continues to be a byword for "perfect" in widely held symbolism.

Comfortability of the Ring
After a successful marriage proposal, your other half will go on to wear the diamond ring for a very long period of time, so ongoing wear comfort of any chosen ring is very important. If you’re not sure of your partner’s ring finger size, it’s suggested you discretely find a ring that is currently in the woman’s collection and worn regularly, and use our size guide to find out its size. It is also something that will be valuable for reference ongoing.

Diamond certificate
Every diamond is unique, and a diamond certification is like a "birth certificate" that identifies the 4Cs of a given diamond. A few world-recognized diamond grading agencies are: Gemological Institute of America (GIA), International Gemological Institute (IGI) and De Beers Group etc.

For her who loves classic and timeless designs
A simple solitaire ring is a timeless classic. Many of these styles use a ‘prong setting’ method to fasten the diamond, allowing the stone to fully display its dazzling brilliance without too much metal to distract the eyes. Typically, the four-prong and six-prong setting are the most popular for engagement rings.
