Proposing with a Placeholder Ring - A Stress-Free Alternative to the Perfect Proposal
A stunt ring, also known as a placeholder or temporary engagement ring, is used for the proposal before selecting the final engagement ring with your partner. It's not meant to be the permanent or official engagement ring but serves as a symbolic placeholder during the proposal moment.
Choosing a stunt engagement ring can be a thoughtful decision for various reasons. Here are some reasons why a placeholder ring might be the best choice for you.
Surprise Proposal
If you want to keep your proposal a surprise but aren't entirely sure about your partner's ring preferences, a stunt ring allows the proposal to happen without the stress of getting the perfect ring right away. You may not want to spoil the surprise by involving your partner in the selection process, so a stunt ring allows you to keep the surprise when you pop the question.
Avoiding Pressure
Selecting an engagement ring can be overwhelming. A stunt ring alleviates the pressure of choosing the "perfect" ring alone, allowing you, as a couple, time to discuss and design your ideal forever ring together.
Avoiding Disappointment
Every woman has their unique style and preferences. A stunt ring can prevent the disappointment that might arise if the chosen ring doesn't match your partner's taste or expectations.Symbolic Gesture
The stunt ring represents the commitment and intention to marry, allowing your partner and yourself to enjoy the proposal moment and the excitement of designing the engagement ring together.Creating Memories
The process of selecting a permanent engagement ring together can be a memorable experience for the couple. It adds to the story of your engagement and strengthens your bond.Time Constraints
If your proposal is planned and the actual ring you have designed isn't ready or purchased yet, a stunt ring allows the proposal to proceed without delays.Now that you have popped the question with your stunt ring, what is the next step?
Discussing Your Official Engagement Ring
Following the proposal, you now have the opportunity to have an open conversation about the creation of your partner’s official engagement ring. The conversation will include style preferences, gold selection, diamond shape and budget considerations.

The first consultation at Morgan & Co will include comprehensive education on diamonds, gems and gold preferences. Selection of your diamond, or gemstone, as well as design and setting considerations.

We will create a beautiful in-studio experience for you and your partner when it comes time to design your forever ring, we will provide a gift for your partner and on the day we will celebrate over champagne and an intimate consultation that becomes part of your proposal story.
Key Message
Using a stunt ring allows couples to enjoy the moment of proposal without the pressure of selecting the final ring beforehand. It also gives you the opportunity to design your perfect engagement ring together, ensuring that the ring holds sentimental value and reflects the wearer's style and preferences.
Overall, a stunt engagement ring can be a practical and considerate choice, allowing both partners to participate in the exciting process of choosing a symbol of their love and commitment.

Custom Engagement Rings vs Off-the-Shelf: Surprising Facts!
The dazzling world of custom jewellery is often cloaked in misconceptions, with the most prevalent one being that bespoke creations are an expensive indulgence. However, it's time to set the record straight and shed light on the affordability and accessibility of boutique jewellers.
You might find it hard to believe, but shopping at boutique jewellers like Morgan & Co can be lighter on the wallet than you'd expect. Contrary to popular belief, it's not necessarily the big names that provide the best value for your money.
We'd like to challenge the common assumption that they always offer the best bang for your buck. Boutique jewellers such as Morgan & Co often surprise customers by offering superior quality pieces that are competitively priced, if not less expensive.
So let's debunk this myth together. Are boutique jewellers expensive? Not necessarily.
Kind Words
Morgan and Laura were a pleasure to work with. They took the time to collaboratively design and craft the perfect engagement ring. The process was seamless and the end result was amazing. Ended with a successful proposal and a ring that will be cherished for a lifetime.
They helped guide my partner through the design process & have created a truly perfect heirloom. Their service has been so connected & helpful from start to finish & even provided information on post purchase care such as insurance.
Amazing experience! We came to Morgan & Co a month before Christmas asking for a custom ring to be ready in less than 3 weeks and they were able to pull it off! Consultation process was so easy and they explained everything we needed to know!
Morgan and Laura have absolutely hit it out of the park! They went above and beyond to help me create the perfect ring for my finance! They made the process easy and simple. Excellent communication, perfect timing, help work in your budget and just make the whole process easy to understand if you know absolutely nothing about rings.....like myself.
The ladies at Morgan & Co are absolutely wonderful! My partner & I actually went to one pre engagement appointment together where I could make suggestions on what my dream ring would be like. I was so sad I didn’t go through the whole process with them because of how fun it was. My partner said the whole process was completely seamless & enjoyable. AND the ring is absolutely perfect. So much attention to detail and understanding of what the final outcome desired was. Can’t recommend enough!!
I had my engagement remodelled and got a beautiful wedding band from Morgan & Co. The experience from the beginning was absolutely amazing and the rings I received were everything I wanted them to be and more. The consultation process was very thorough as they make sure they bring your dream rings into reality. Highly recommend this amazing team.
We couldn't be happier with the wedding ring we bought from Morgan & Co! The craftsmanship is superb, and the level of detail is truly outstanding. Morgan & Laura were incredibly patient and helpful in assisting us in finding the perfect ring that matched both our style and budget. If you're in the market for a wedding ring, we highly recommend Morgan & Co. Thank you for adding to the significance of our special day with my custom wedding band.
Fantastic personalised and professional service. From initial consult to collection Morgan and Laura were amazing and the ring speaks for itself. Highly recommend.
Laura saved me from making a huge mistake & I’ll never forget it! I was in the final stages of purchasing a ring online, I asked for her opinion & she rang me straight away to talk it through. She was very detailed in educating me on the things to look for when selecting a diamond. My fiancé & I are both extremely happy with all 4 of our custom made rings from Morgan & Co. A1 service and outcome. Could not recommended enough - especially for any males a little lost in the process.
What an amazing experience I had with these ladies. They are professional and easy to talk too. They made the whole experience very simple. Can't recommend them enough!
My husband went to Morgan & co to create a new engagement ring. Over the 13years of marriage my taste had naturally changed, Morgan and Lauwra took an immense amount of time sourcing a beautiful diamond that suited my hand perfectly. Opening the box was the most beautiful surprise. I have the ring of my dreams and I could not have picked better myself. Morgan and Lauwra take the time to know their clients well, and this shows on all the faces that open their M&C rings boxes.
I am so grateful for the experience that I had for my engagement with Morgan & Co. My (now) fiancé proposed to me with a beautiful diamond that Morgan and Laura assisted him in choosing. I was then able to design the engagement ring and wedding band of my dreams under the supervision of a thoughtful, understanding and professional team. They not only look beautiful, but also fit my hand and personality. Thank you ladies, you made me feel so special and welcome throughout the whole process.
From the moment I first approached Morgan & Co they were so helpful & really took the stress out of the process, instead they made it all so fun & exciting. They gave me an estimate of price so I could budget appropriately. They set up an in person meeting where they showed me various designs based upon what I had given them as references, & together we created the perfect ring for my partner that she absolutely loves! Also, while the ring was being made, they kept me well informed of the production process which helped me plan the proposal date, and kept my stress levels down.
Morgan & Laura were fantastic to work with to create my perfect ring - nothing was too difficult! To say I am thrilled with the final product is an understatement. I am completely ecstatic! I am not an emotional person but I did come home to cry over how happy I am with my ring. Every step of this process was a pleasure and I will wholeheartedly recommend Morgan & Laura to anyone who asks.If you want the perfect ring, see Morgan & Co!
Morgan & Co was such an inviting & comfortable place to search for that special engagement ring. My partner didn't exactly know what she wanted, but through the assistance of Morgan she easily guided & advised to suit & find what she exactly wanted. The constant checking in and updates was outstanding. Even after the proposal, Morgan took a genuine interest in how everything went & anything else they could do to support us i.e. ring fit/sizing was all good.
Overall couldn't be happier with the process and we will be returning to get our wedding rings.
Their attention to detail and their presence in the room is what sets them apart. They are enjoyable to work with and their approach to the whole process is thoroughly professional. We could not be happier and have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody looking for new rings.
