Hey, theres a good site for ideas!
Good luck with everything
I'm with several other comments - the beach would be lovely. Walking along the shore, hand in hand as the sun sets.. To me, that would be ideal, but without the going-down-on-one-knee bit (I'm another girl that isn't all for that) - then just turn to her, look her in the eye and ask her to marry you.
But, saying that, absolutely any way of asking is special. This is one of those occasions where it really is the thought that counts.
Let us know how it goes!
I'm gonna be proposed to with the down on one knee thing one day. Otherwise I just won't say yes!
Spontaneous is the key! Yass!!
MUCH LUCK!!
I will probably get down on one knee cos I think she'd like that, then I'll give it to her doggystyle :thumb:

Only saying because a lot of people dont like yellow gold these days. I think that ring looks a bit old fashioned. A bit 80s.
Not that that is what counts, and i wish you the best of luck.
:yes: check out what colour jewelery she wears at the moment?? I prefer white gold..
ETA - Good luck!!!! (not that u need it, you know the answer already :P)
i don't think i'd like to get proposed to on one knee, i'd like it to be a bit more different
but if she's quite traditional then go for it
But yah know what? I'd love either!!
I am trying to get the cash together for a big half carat one but it depends because I know she wants a holiday and I want to go to Dominican Republic hehe!
I'll get some more pics up when I find out more
Sounds like yellow gold would be stunning on her then!
Lucky woman...
If you want a solitaire that looks a bit more contemporary try looking for a different cut on the diamond, something like a princess cut perhaps - like this.
Here's the link in case you like that one.

yup. especially the slightly lighter (more expensive looking!) yellow colour like in miffy's post.
yellow gold that's too dark and brassy just screams lizzy duke no matter how posh it is.
You know her better than anyone so I'm sure anything you pick for her she will just love. In any case the ring would be the least important thing to me if someone had just proposed, it could be a ring pull for all I'd care.
Good luck with everything and I'm sure she'll say yes!!
I did consider the princess cut as I do think it looks a bit more different and stylish, what were everyones thoughts on it?
Good luck with it and let us all know how it goes!!
Here is a link to the different types of cutsdiamond cuts
Edit: I also like the ring posted by Miffy, it will look good on your girlfriend's darker skin tone.
I would prefer white gold but I'm very pale so yellow gold looks poo on me. How about getting an antique ring? I have an antique silver ring from the victorian era and I just love wondering what type of women would have worn it. Sometimes I make up little stories in my head about her

I like that ring miffy posted but the only thing that puts me off is that it's a mix of white and yellow gold, but I'm sure it will look stunning!
I like the goldsmiths one, also happens to be the cheapest.
