Proposal charm

EnergyPro

Hi all.

So I am going to finally propose to the better half in the coming weeks. I have an idea of the ring she would like but couldn't be 100% on it. I also think she would like to pick out the ring herself along with me. Instead of the traditional 'token' proposal ring which many use and I certainly like the idea of, I am considering Using a charm for the proposal. I guess my reasons are quite simple. Firstly as I say I feel she would like to pick her own ring, and as it is something I hope she will wear forever I think that is more than fair!! Secondly I got her a charm bracelet a number of years ago and numerous charms since then for certain occasions. I know it means a lot to her and so I think a charm of this nature would be something that would mean a lot and be something she can keep with her always.

At least that is what I have in my head! Is it a crazy idea? Should I just use a ring like most people do?

On the other side, if I do go down the route of a proposal charm, does a single charm look a little miserable, should I get a new bracelet with a few special charms on it especially for the occasion, or does it make more sense to just go with one charm that can be added to her existing bracelet? BTW its a chamilia bracelet in case anyone is wondering!

Thanks for reading, and any advice appreciated. Its my first proposal, and I want to make sure its my last!!!

I think it's a lovely idea, very romantic and unique! Best of luck!!

I think it's a beautiful idea.

Personally, I would be thrilled with the single charm as opposed to a whole new bracelet.

Best of luck OP.

I proposed with the engagement ring charm from Thomas Sabo. The lady in the shop gave me a little ring box for it and everything when I explained what I was doing, so it looked the business. I had the same reasons as you, OP, and my girlfriend (now fiancée!) loved it.

Good luck!!

A lovely piece of jewelry of any sort has been a traditional proposal gift for hundreds of years. There's no special reason except recent custom that it need be a ring. The wedding ring is the thing that needs to be a ring, not the proposal gift.

My now husband proposed with an engagement charm too. Oh my god I was in floods of tears as I love my charm bracelet.

As it happened the one he got me didn't fit on my charm bracelet so I got a new one and now have the engagement charm, and the two initials of our kids as charms too so it's extra special to me.

Definitely go for the charm proposal if she already likes them. Good luck!!

I think it's a great idea; and no girl would be offended by two pieces of jewellery!!

Good Luck!

Thanks for all your replies. I was looking at that one galwaygirl, but would the I Do be a bit presumptuous?! I like the love is kind charm underneath that also. Good to hear people don't think its daft!

I don't think the I Do would be presumptuous- after all, you'll be saying it too!!

I think I might prefer the Love Is one that you've pointed out tho, it's really pretty and really stands out.

Great idea by the way, I love it!

This is a beautiful idea. I've never heard of anyone doing this, really lovely and thinking outside the box. (Excuse the pun). I agree with the above that the love is kind one is gorgeous.

That's the one my husband got for me. We did have a bit of a giggle when he explained it said "love is Kind" not "BLind"! The writing is beautiful on it and if you look quickly the "k" looks like "Bl"!

I treasure the charm so much and I love wearing it as it reminds me of the shock I got when he proposed!
