The Clara Proposal Ring

  1. The Clara Proposal Ring

    What If I Pick The Wrong Engagement Ring?

    It’s probably the biggest worry people carry into buying an engagement ring, and has very little to do with metal or diamond shape. It isn’t yellow gold versus platinum, or oval versus round. It’s simpler and harder than that. What if I get it wrong?

    Buying an engagement ring is one of the few purchases you make entirely for someone else, usually in secret, usually while planning a proposal you’ll remember for the rest of your life. You want them to love it, you want the moment to be perfect and you want to feel sure of yourself when you open the box. For most people, there’s still a small voice asking whether they’ve chosen the right ring.

    After helping thousands of people propose over the last decade, we’ve learnt something that takes most of that pressure away. The proposal and the forever ring don’t have to be the same decision.

    The Clara Proposal Ring is made for people who love the idea of a surprise proposal but don’t love the thought of choosing a forever ring on their own. At first glance, this piece is exactly what a proposal ring should be - a beautiful oval diamond solitaire, elegant and timeless, designed for the moment the box opens. However it was made with a different purpose in mind. Our proposal ring isn’t here to replace the forever ring. It’s here to make the proposal process stress-free.

    You propose with the Clara Proposal Ring, you celebrate, you enjoy the moment. Then, once the excitement settles, you design the forever ring together. No guessing, no second-guessing, no trying to decode Pinterest boards and Instagram saves and a comment your partner made three years ago. Just the confidence of knowing you’ve already asked the question that matters most.

  1. Why couples choose the Clara Proposal Ring

    For a lot of couples, designing the engagement ring becomes one of the best parts of getting engaged. The proposal stays a surprise and the moment stays yours, but the ring itself becomes something you create together. Some people discover they love a completely different style than they expected during an appointment, or fall for a diamond shape they’d never considered. Others simply like being included in the process. The Clara Proposal Ring makes room for all of that, so you can focus on the proposal without feeling responsible for every design decision on your own.

  2. What the Clara Proposal Ring is

    The Clara Proposal Ring is a 2ct oval lab-grown diamond, set in a simple gold four claw solitaire, $3,990. The piece is intentionally understated, beautiful enough for the proposal and easy to wear afterwards. When you’re ready to design the forever ring, return it to us within twelve months and you receive full credit of the purchase price toward your engagement ring, less a $250 cleaning fee. Or you can keep it forever, as a travel ring or a piece to mark the moment. There isn’t a wrong answer.

  3. Should I just choose the forever ring myself?

    Maybe. Plenty of people do and get it exactly right. If you’ve spent years paying attention to ring details your partner loves, you might already know precisely what they’re hoping for, and if that’s you, trust yourself. We’ll help to guide you the whole way through.

    Though if you’re caught between wanting a surprise proposal and wanting your partner to have a say in the ring they’ll wear every day, that’s the reason the Clara Proposal Ring exists. This is the perfect piece that gives you both.

  1. Common Questions

  2. What if she doesn’t like the engagement ring?

    Firstly, you’re probably not giving yourself enough credit, since most people know their partner better than they think. In saying this however, engagement rings are deeply personal pieces and sometimes it’s impossible to discover what feels right until it’s tried on in person. That’s normal, and exactly what our proposal guarantee is built to solve.

  3. What is a proposal ring?

    A proposal ring is made for the proposal itself. It gives you the surprise and the emotion of the moment, while leaving the final engagement ring design decisions for later, once the two of you can choose it together.

  4. What if I get the ring size wrong?

    Ring size is one of the easiest things to fix after a proposal, and often one of the most common things people worry about beforehand. Don’t let it stop you.

  5. Why are proposal rings becoming more popular?

    Because people are realising they don’t have to choose between a surprise proposal and the perfect ring. They can have both.

  1. The proposal matters more than the ring

    Here’s an insight that a decade of helping people get engaged has taught us. Nobody remembers the proposal for the carat weight of the diamond, or the width of the band. They remember how they felt in the moment. The location, the surprise, the very minute they realised they were about to spend the rest of their lives together.

    The ring design matters, of course it does. But the proposal matters more. That’s exactly why we made the Clara Proposal Ring.
