About Us
Does the thought of buying an engagement ring terrify you? Are you worried that purchasing something that you know very little about could likely be valued at half of what you paid for it?
You’re not alone.
This is where the idea for Proposal Prince was born, out of uncertainty and opportunity. After visiting three local jewelers, I too was shocked to discover dismal inventories and a whopping 50% profit margin built in for the jeweler. Sure, the overhead of a jewelry store is expensive, and it only makes sense that the cost of the store’s steep insurance policy, rent, utilities, billboards, and staffs’ payroll have to be passed onto the consumer; but, should we really give the person we’re planning on spending forever with a piece of jewelry that is only worth 50% of what we paid for it?
It was at this point that I realized there had to be a better way to buy an engagement ring. I knew that no jeweler could compete with the constantly rotating online inventory of diamonds, or their lack of overhead. But how do I filter through 250,000 rotating diamonds to make sure I don’t accidentally purchase a cloudy diamond that will appear yellow or not sparkle? Armed with determination to begin an industry-first service to provide engagement shoppers a better alternative, I set out on diamond and settings education training that would span the better part of the year.
So, what happens when you buy an engagement ring through Proposal Prince?
#1. You learn something. When you give your partner the ring, you’ll be able to tell them that you helped design it yourself because the local jeweler’s dismal selection didn’t cut it.
#2. You receive an item that is far more valuable. All settings are either solid 14k or 18k gold, or Platinum. All diamonds I endorse are GIA certified, which is the international gold-standard for grading diamonds. Your diamond will be etched with a microscopic serial number forever identifying it as certified. Pretty cool, right?
#3. Your ring will include a 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee. Most local jewelers don’t offer a return policy of any kind. Even though we’ll be confident your partner will like it, you have the peace of mind in the event they don’t.
