1. Should you choose an engagement ring as a surprise or together?
1.1 About 50% of men give a ring when proposing.
According to a survey by Zexy, approximately 47.5% of men gave an engagement ring when proposing.
The remaining half chose other items such as a bouquet of flowers, a proposal ring, or a necklace.
In other words, it is becoming common for couples to choose the engagement ring together later .
1.2 Women's true feelings: "I like surprises, but I want to choose the ring"
This is a common opinion we hear from women who visit DIALLURE.
"I want the proposal to be a surprise, but I want to choose the ring according to my own taste."
Because it is something that will be worn for the rest of one's life, many women tend to be particular about the design, size, and material.
2. Success points for surprise lovers
If you're planning a surprise engagement ring, preparation and research are key to making it a truly emotional moment.
2.1 Research her preferences
Everyday fashion (feminine, simple, fashionable, etc.)
Favorite brands (Tiffany, Cartier, AHKAH, etc.)
Accessory style (delicate or bold design)
At DIALLURE, we suggest designs while asking about the atmosphere of your partner on a daily basis.
2.2 How to measure your size (secretly)
If you get the size wrong, the surprise will be ruined.
Check it casually using the following method.
| method | Difficulty | point |
|---|---|---|
| Thread her ring | ★★★ | Secretly while you sleep or when you're out |
| Ask a friend | ★★ | Enlist the help of a trusted friend |
| "Your fingers are pretty," he said. | ★ | Listen naturally in the flow of the conversation |

If you don't know the size or preference, we recommend using a proposal ring .
