Make your proposal perfect this February

It's the most romantic month of the year, and there's no better time to show your other half exactly how you feel about them. Not only is Valentine's Day just around the corner, but it's a leap year – which means, on the 29th of February, it's traditional for women to take the initiative and pop the question to their partners!

Whoever you are, and whatever your budget, we know you want your relationship milestones to be unforgettable – and don't want to compromise quality or stint on style. That's why we've got a huge range of rings, gifts and treasures for every price range and every special moment, as well a few ideas to help you plan the perfect proposal.

If your girlfriend is a real glamour puss, why not take her for a lavish meal in a restaurant and ask the waiter to bring her an engagement ring with the dessert? The surprising sparkle of the gem (and a sumptuous chocolate pudding) will blow her away. A flash, and a ring, that'll last forever – if you're looking for timeless and traditional, have a look at our simply beautiful diamond engagement rings.

And with our Made for you collection, we'll hand finish your ring to your exacting specifications; it'll arrive in plenty of time for the big day in a sleek gift box that you can easily hide away until the occasion is right. You could even organise a romantic treasure hunt for your intended, with the final clue leading to your sparkling surprise.

If your lady's more into the outdoors, follow in Prince William's super-romantic footsteps and get down on one knee in a holiday destination that's special to you both. A glittering ring from us is sure to put a sparkle in her eye, whether you're in the mountains of Africa or at the seaside in Bognor Regis. We've got bands set with bright, stunning stones in all shapes and sizes, including a gorgeous deep Sapphire that takes its inspiration from Kate Middleton's Royal ring.

Maybe you're a fearless female looking to bag your man this leap year? Talk to his friends about organising a tailor-made proposal that'll celebrate your shared interests – why not treat him to tickets to see his favourite local team, then have your big question put up on the score board to surprise him? Or, if he's an exercise buff, pop one of our men's rings into his gym bag – you'll find a token that perfectly expresses your feelings amongst our subtle diamond-embedded bands and strong, studded pieces.

And if your fella's as much about function as he is form, you can appeal to his practical personality with a gift that he'll use every day: go in-store and ask about having your names or a personal message engraved by our first-rate jewellers onto one of our fab men's watches. You could even ask to have 'Will you marry me?' inscribed.

To help you settle on your choice, take a look at our diamond buying guide and precious metal buying guide – and in store, our experienced staff will be only too happy to advise if you need some help choosing something that'll be the perfect fit this February!
