1. Research her preferences: Before you start shopping for an engagement ring, take some time to research your girlfriend's preferences. Pay attention to the types of jewellery she wears, her favourite styles and metal, and the types of stones she likes.
2. Consult with a professional: A reputable jeweller, such as Morgan & Co, can help you find the perfect ring and guide you through the process. They can also help you design a bespoke ring that fits within your budget, ultimately you'll end up with a unique and unforgettable ring without paying too much. 
3. Make it personal: Personal touches can make the engagement ring even more special. For example, you can choose a ring with a birthstone of her favourite colour, or you can engrave a special message on the ring. Another idea that we are seeing a lot with our clients is placing a hidden stone inside the band. This stone can be your or your partners birthstone or an heirloom stone that has been passed through the family. Adding a sentimental touch is a beautiful point of difference. 
4. Plan the perfect proposal: Once you have the ring, plan the perfect proposal. Think about your girlfriend's interests and choose a location that is special to both of you. You could plan a surprise trip, or a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant. See our blog on Locations to Propose on the Sunshine Coast.
5. Be thoughtful: The most important thing is to be thoughtful and considerate when choosing the ring and planning the proposal. It's not just about the ring, it's about the overall experience and the thought that you put into it.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your girlfriend that you love and care for her and that you want to spend the rest of your life with her. The ring is a symbol of that love and commitment so why not bring her dream to life with our design team at Morgan & Co?
