5 Creative Proposal Ideas

At Brian Gavin Diamonds, we live in the world of passionate love stories, romantic proposals and memorable wedding days. Aside from working one-on-one with customers to create an ideal ring, one of the most enjoyable elements of our jobs is learning about the details of each ardent love story and proposal.

Proposals are by far one of the most memorable and extraordinary moments in a person's life. Having the person you love surprise you with a question as bold as spending eternity together is bound to be unforgettable. We're so honored to help our customers make these memories through a seamless ring buying experience.

Many of our customers are kind enough to share their proposal stories with us—it's a true delight that makes us proud to be in this business. We've seen heart warming, exhilarating, intimate, witty and meaningful proposals happen over the years. Each proposal is unique in its own. We've gathered a few of our favorite creative ways to propose, as demonstrated by our brilliant customers.
