Destination proposals are one of the most popular ways to get engaged during the summer. Whether it's a city break, a beach escape or a romantic sunset dinner, we'll help you find the perfect engagement ring to match the moment.
If you're planning a destination proposal this summer, timing your engagement ring is just as important as booking flights and accommodation. Many engagement rings are made to order which typically takes around 6-8 weeks from initial consultation to completion, so planning is essential to ensure everything is ready for the perfect proposal.
Top Tips From Our Diamond Specialists
Start Your Ring Search Early
If you're planning a destination proposal, we always recommend to start your ring search as early as possible! This allows enough time for consultations, the design process, resizing and adjustments wihtout feeling rushed.
Understand Ring Timelines
Many engagement rings are made to order, with most designs taking 6-8 weeks from initial consultation to completion. We recommend slightly longer for bespoke designs to allow for CAD design development, stone sourcing, adjustments and the ring being crafted in our workshop.
Always Keep The Ring In Hand Luggage
When travelling with an engagement ring, keep it in your hand luggage rather than checked baggage to ensure it is wih you at all times. We also recommend using a discreet box or travel pouch to keep it secure and protected throughout the journey. Perhaps add a note that it is an engagement ring to prevent security ruining the surprise!
Get The Ring Insured Before You Travel
Before travelling, make sure your engagement ring is fully insured, including cover abroad where applicable. It’s a simple but important step when travelling with a valuable piece of jewellery. You can purchase TH March Jewellery Insurance in our showroom, enquire with our team during your appointment or contact us for more information!
