Real proposal stories, custom ring reveals, and honest advice from the jewelers who made it happen! Picking an engagement ring used to be a solo mission for men who just had to guess and hope. Not anymore. In this video, we sit down with two couples—Kayla and Eli, and Cyrena and Alex— and their jewelers to reveal what really goes into creating the perfect ring.

Kayla and Eli: A romantic proposal in Central Park, but the real win? Eli actually listened when Kayla hinted she wanted a gold ring. He teamed up with Jacob Pinkhazov at Sky Jewelry, a jewelry store in Harlem, New York, to create a stunning three-row pavé ring with a 2.5-carat cushion cut diamond.

Cyrena and Alex: A beach proposal outside Barcelona with a ring that’s even more special than the setting. Alex worked with Lily Wokin Handel of Bespoke and Rose Fine Jewelry to design a two-toned custom ring featuring an heirloom diamond. The best part? It perfectly matches Cyrena’s grandmother’s wedding band. Why you’ll want to watch See the gorgeous finished rings up close!
