5 Creative Proposal Ideas

Engagement season is upon us. Planning your proposal is never easy so if you’re gathering that your significant other might be dropping hints for an engagement ring, we have five creative proposal ideas for you to consider.

1. Geocaching – Do you like scavenger hunts? Then geocaching is a fun and cute idea to consider for your proposal! Give your significant other clues and hints that will eventually lead them to the hiding spot of the ring. It’s also a great way to pick a place that is special, such as your first date.

2. Holiday Surprise – Are you thinking of proposing around Christmas time? How about hiding the ring in an ornament on the tree? You can decorate the tree together and hand them the ornament that contains the ring. Every year, you can hang that very ornament together as a beautiful reminder of your proposal.

3. Serenade with a song – If you’ve got the chops to sing for your proposal, serenading your lover is a unique way to pop the question. Whether you have an original song or covering a song that is special to you both, singing to your significant other is always a memorable moment that you both won’t forget.

4. Animal Awe – How about tying the ring on your pet’s collar? When your partner calls your family pet, they’ll receive an unexpected surprise.

5. Revisit a memorable place – Is there a location or spot that is distinctly unique to you as a couple? Those places will always serve as a memorable moment that is perfect to get down on one knee.

No matter how you propose, it’s the significance of the moment that will always be remembered. If you’re still looking for the perfect ring, visit Jeff Cooper Designs to find a ring that is as bold as your love.

Sharing The Love

Each Jeff Cooper piece is made one at a time, by hand, and examined through every step of the process because we realize that every ring should be reflective of its wearer and the memories it symbolizes.

Each ring that carries the Jeff Cooper brand name exhibits refined simplicity, a concept that is now ingrained in the brand heritage and in the company’s meticulous workmanship.

That being said, we value our customers as they truly mean the world to us. In fact, nothing makes us smile more than when we hear from satisfied customers sharing their happiness about our rings.

Recently, we heard from a Jeff Cooper customer that really made our day. We received a delightful Facebook post from one of our customers, Dru, who said the following: “Loving my Hope engagement ring with my newly added (Saturday) Harper wedding band!!! Thanks, Jeff Cooper for the custom work!!”

This inspired a Facebook post to encourage other Jeff Cooper customers to share the love and we wanted to show you a few of our favorites here in this blog post.

Kendra said, “Love my Jeff Cooper!”

Elyse shared her beautiful set with us, too.

Your love doesn’t need embellishments. Jeff Cooper rings are as pure and honest as the way you feel. This is your moment and we’re honored to be a part of the magic.

Thanks again for sharing the love.

Absolutely Pear-fect!

Looking for a unique stand out diamond? A pear shape might just be your diamond in the rough. Also known as a teardrop, the pear-shaped diamond is a hybrid of styles. Inspired from both the oval and marquise, this distinctive shape is a perfect choice for the one-of-a-kind bride.

A pear diamond set in a halo makes for a truly show-stopping ring, which is why we love the new Tate Pear Engagement Ring from our Tandem Collection.

Diamonds are forever

Marilyn Monroe once said, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” With that mind, we decided to compile some of our favorite quotes about diamonds. After all, diamonds are forever.

“I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.”  ― Mae West

“I have never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back.” – Zsa Zsa Gabor

“Big girls need big diamonds.”  ― Elizabeth Taylor

“If God wanted us to bend over he’d put diamonds on the floor.” – Joan Rivers

“Last year my boyfriend gave me a painting – a very personal one. I really prefer personal gifts or ones made by someone for me. Except diamonds. That’s the exception to the rule.” – Minnie Driver

“Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all” – Mark Twain

“Kissing your hand may make you feel very good, but a diamond lasts forever.” -Anita Loos, author of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

“Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one.” – Old Chinese Proverb / quotation

“Diamonds should sparkle and be profound, yet brilliantly work together in one piece.” – Jeff Cooper

Ring Cam Captures Your Proposal

There are certain moments in your life that you want to remember forever.  The facial expression on your face the moment of your proposal is a memory you want to preserve. Unless you have someone recording or photographing on your behalf, your proposal is usually a private moment only remembered by you and your significant other.

Wouldn’t it be great to capture your partner’s reaction the instant you get down on one knee? Well, now you can with the Ring Cam. A group of Michigan entrepreneurs have invented a product that captures that instant forever: the Ring Cam, a jewelry box with a small camera installed, so that the reaction of the proposal can be saved and watched over and over.

The Ring Cam was invented by Hope College grads, which began as a design project and has also made it past the second round of auditions on ABC’s Shark Tank. The Ring Cam is available for about $200 or can be rented for $99. Would you be interested in the Ring Cam? We think it’s a stellar idea and it’s a wonderful way to record your once in a lifetime event.  The Ring Cam would also look great with a Jeff Cooper ring inside, too.
