Notice what they already wear
Look at metal colour, scale and detail. A clean solitaire, a bright halo and a three-stone setting each have a distinct character.
Proposal Guide
The Facetelle guide
Planning a proposal
Choose a ring that feels considered, find the size without turning the moment into an investigation, and plan a proposal that still leaves room to be present.
Choose the ring
Start with the outline
The diamond shape is often the first decision you see from across the room. Use the Diamond Guide to compare enduring options.
Keep a way to personalise
If you are unsure, choose the main direction and leave details to decide together. A bespoke consultation can help translate references into a coherent ring.
Find the size discreetly
The strongest clue is a ring they already wear on the intended finger. Measure its internal diameter in millimetres or let a jeweller size it. A trusted friend or family member may know, but ask them to keep the circle small.
Do not assume the same finger on the other hand is identical. If you only have an estimate, tell Facetelle how you measured and ask what can be confirmed before the order is placed.
Use the Ring Size GuidePlan the moment
Choose what matters
Begin with the feeling you want: private or shared, at home or away, spontaneous or carefully staged. There is no single correct format.
Protect the surprise, not the logistics
Check travel, access, weather and photography plans. If the ring is travelling, keep it secure and with you.
Give the words some thought
You do not need a speech, but it helps to know the one or two things you most want to say before you ask.
Leave space afterwards
Avoid over-scheduling the next hour. The part after the question is often the part you remember most clearly.
