Before the wedding day, the proposal is the most awaited day in the life of a lady. You, prospective groom-to-be, have the very important task of popping the question in the most memorable way possible.

After all, your friends and relatives would ask both of you how you proposed, so you might as well do something unforgettable and worth sharing.

The best way to do this is to make the type of proposal in tune with her personality. Listed below are a few suggestions that can help you plan the perfect proposal for your lady.

A touch of tradition

When you have a traditionalist for a girlfriend, you don’t have to look too far with the proposal idea. You can always pull it off through a classic dinner. Now, there are two ways you can do this: take her to a really good restaurant or cook the food yourself.

The former is a classic and needs no further tutorial, but it still has the pressure of the public’s peering eyes. If you want privacy (more importantly, if SHE puts a high premium on privacy), go with the latter, although you would have to practise your culinary skills. Well, you can always hire a private chef if your culinary expertise is limited to pushing buttons on a microwave. Just choose the perfect venue for the occasion.

A dose of thrill

For an adventurous girlfriend, you have to plan a thrilling activity during which you can pop the question. There are many options to choose from, such as conquering a mountain and proposing at the summit, going skydiving and popping the question before the jump, and creating a scavenger hunt that doubles as a nostalgia trip to the first day you met and other similar romantic occasions.

A dash of lavishness

If you’re willing to shell out a small fortune for the proposal, go for grand ideas. Plan a weeklong vacation somewhere far and schedule different activities to mask the secret agenda of popping the question. Or, if you want a dramatic touch, airplane letters in the sky, or a hot-air balloon ride can do the trick.

Whatever gimmick you pull off to make the proposal, it wouldn’t be perfect without a ring. Let us at Robert H Parker & Sons help you get the best engagement ring for her to get that “yes” you want to hear.

Someone has just given you a diamond-encrusted piece of jewellery and now you're wondering whether it's real. It's doesn't matter to you who gave it and where he got it. The big question you want answered is: Are my diamonds real?

Not every gemstone that's red is ruby. Red may forever be associated with rubies, but that doesn't mean you should forget about the other stones that prominently feature this majestic color.

Indeed, those who wait render the highest form of service. 
 It requires self-control, maturity, faith, and the greatest of them all -  love.
 Waiting is a mystery of life. It is something that needs to be done, yet sometimes people underestimate the spiritual gift that comes with it.

Diamond clarity describes the absence or presence of flaws inside or on the surface of the diamond or other gemstones. A stone with perfect clarity or clearness is rare. Most flaws that exist in jewellery grade diamonds can&rsquo;t be seen without looking at them through a jeweller&rsquo;s magnifying loupe. </p>

Bridal jewellery shouldn't be an afterthought to your wedding look. If the dress makes the wedding, then it's safe to say that the jewellery makes the dress. Accessories make any outfit seem more personalised and special, and wedding gowns are no exception.

You only get one chance to do it right. If you don't, she'll remember it for the rest of her life. Forgetting to get down on one knee and put a ring on her finger is a no-no. But there are new rules when it comes to choosing the right engagement ring.

Diamonds are forever. This is in the sense that their dazzle and beauty can leave an imprint on our hearts. But physically, they're not eternal. They may be the hardest substance on earth, but that doesn't mean they're not exempt from deterioration and destruction. Which is why you have to do your best to preserve their sparkle.
