The festive season is one of the most magical times of the year to propose. Between twinkling lights, joyful gatherings, and a sense of togetherness that only Christmas brings, it’s no wonder so many couples choose this season for their engagement. The holiday spirit makes everything feel a little more meaningful — the laughter is louder, the nights are warmer, and the memories last a lifetime.

But behind every unforgettable Christmas proposal is a ring — and that’s one detail you don’t want to leave until the last minute.

Why Early Planning Matters

An engagement ring is more than jewellery. It’s a promise, a symbol, and often the most personal piece you’ll ever give. That’s why choosing (and crafting) the right one takes time.

At Morgan & Co, every engagement ring is designed with care, crafted with precision, and made to last for generations. We don’t work from cookie-cutter designs — each ring is created to reflect the love story it represents. From the diamond selection to the setting height and band proportions, every detail is considered.

This thoughtful process takes time — usually around six weeks from your first consultation to the final polish. Complex designs or specific diamond requests can take even longer. Starting early ensures you have options, space to explore different styles, and time to enjoy the process without stress.

Wait too long, and you may find your choices limited — or risk not having the ring ready in time for that perfect Christmas moment.

The Timelines for a Bespoke Ring

Here’s a simple guide to help you plan ahead:

• Initial Consultation (1 week): A relaxed and inspiring meeting with one of our co-founders to explore your ideas, style, and budget. This is where the magic begins.

• Design & Approval (1–2 weeks): We turn your vision into a detailed CAD design, making adjustments until everything feels perfect. You’ll be able to see the ring from every angle before it’s made.

• Crafting & Setting (3–4 weeks): Our master jewellers bring your design to life, setting your chosen diamond and refining every detail with precision and care.

• Final Inspection & Delivery (1 week): Before your ring leaves our Buderim studio, it undergoes a meticulous quality check to ensure it’s flawless and ready for its moment.

By starting early, you’ll have your ring in hand well before Christmas — giving you the freedom to focus on creating the perfect proposal.

Tips for a Christmas Proposal

• Consider the setting: Whether it’s under the Christmas tree, at a festive dinner, or during a coastal holiday getaway, the “where” matters as much as the “when.”

• Coordinate with loved ones: If you’d like family or friends to be part of the moment, plan ahead to keep the surprise seamless.

• Add personal touches: A favourite song, a meaningful location, or a shared tradition makes the proposal uniquely yours.

• Capture the memory: Whether with a hidden photographer or a simple phone recording, having a keepsake of the moment can be priceless.

FAQs: Planning Your Christmas Proposal Ring

How long does a bespoke engagement ring take to make?
On average, six weeks from consultation to completion — though complex designs may take longer. That’s why we recommend starting now if you’re planning a Christmas proposal.

What if I don’t know their ring size?
Don’t worry — we can work with an estimate, resize later if needed, or guide you through subtle ways to find their size without spoiling the surprise.

Do I need to choose the diamond myself?
Not at all. We’ll guide you through the process, showing you options within your budget and helping you compare cuts, clarity, and carat weight to find the perfect stone.

Is yellow gold the only option?
Not at all. We work with yellow, rose, and white gold, as well as platinum. Each metal complements diamonds differently, and we’ll help you choose the one that best suits your partner’s style.

What if I run out of time?
If you’re short on time, we do have a collection of ready-to-wear pieces that can be customised or resized quickly. However, for a fully bespoke design, starting early is key.
