Honestly, there are so many options for a romantic proposal, but first, find out if she prefers a:

Public or private proposal?

To pull off the perfect surprise proposal, you’ve got to figure out if your partner’s into a grand public affair or a more private moment. Here’s how to suss it out without giving the game away:

Casually chat about friends’ proposals or public events and gauge her reactions.
Watch romantic movies and discuss proposal scenes.
Keep an eye on her social media likes and comments regarding public proposals.
The best way: recruit her bestie to do some covert intel. 🧐

Picking the ultimate engagement ring

Choosing the right ring is a big deal! Here’s how you can do it:

Suss out her style and figure out if she’s into classic, vintage, or modern bling.
Sneakily find her ring size – borrow a ring she won’t notice is missing.
Set a budget and stick to it.
Focus on the 4Cs (carat, cut, colour, clarity) when selecting the diamond.

The 4Cs are most commonly used to evaluate a diamond’s quality. Essentially, the carat determines the weight, the cut determines the sparkle, the clarity refers to the amount of imperfections in the diamond, and the colour refers to how white or yellow a diamond appears.

Now, let’s talk about the icing on the cake – LUMOS by ZCOVA Diamonds. These babies take the sparkle to a whole new level. You’re going to love them, and most importantly, she definitely will!

For years, everyone’s been raving about Triple Excellent (3EX) diamond ratings, but LUMOS by ZCOVA Diamonds are in a league of their own.

They’ve got those excellent cuts, symmetry, and polish, but here’s the kicker: they also score an ‘Ultimate’ in Light Performance. The ‘Ultimate’ grade is referred to as the ‘super ideal cut diamond’ in the market, which means the diamond you’re getting is a guaranteed sparkle! And guess what, you can get this superstar of diamonds for no extra charge!

Only 1 in a thousand diamonds makes the cut to become a LUMOS by ZCOVA Diamond. ZCOVA rejects any diamond that does not meet their ‘Ultimate’ standard so you can rest assured that the LUMOS you’re getting is certified perfection.
