Getting engaged is such an exciting time but it can be stressful for the person on the buying end between trying to guess what style of ring she’d like to getting hold of a ring for sizing (that’s if she actually wears rings in the first place). And of course some couples like the idea of choosing the ring together. If you’re looking to surprise your partner but are worried about not getting the ring right, a token ring is a romantic but practical option. It means you don’t splurge a crazy amount of cash on a ring she potentially won’t like but you still have something in hand when it comes to popping the question. It doesn’t even have to be a ring – we’ve heard of guys that have gone down the jewellery route and proposed with a beautiful necklace or charm bracelet you can fill together over the years.
If you’d like to pop the question with a ring, you’re spoiled for choice – we’ve heard of lads using everything from a cute Haribo jelly ring to a fun and flamboyant ring from a Gumball machine. Or you can go the personal route and get something she’ll love – one of the girls in the office recently got engaged and her thoughtful fiancé bought her a marshmallow flump ring on Etsy because she adores marshmallows. Or if you’re looking for something she can wear on a daily basis, symbolic pieces like hearts, infinity rings, Claddagh rings and birth stones are beautiful and will get lots of use. It shouldn’t cost a fortune (save it for the actual engagement ring) but you can be sure it will be cherished almost as much as the real thing! Check out some gorgeous pieces that would make the perfect token ring below…
