Propose within your bubble...

While our doors may be closed for the moment and shopping for an engagement ring in store might be out of the picture, getting creative and proposing within your bubble using whatever you can find, certainly isn’t! 

The staff at The Village Goldsmith had a little fun yesterday while working remotely from home, finding bits and bobs from within our bubbles and crafting them into ‘engagement rings’. This fun activity shows you can propose with anything as a placeholder ring, and then once the lockdown has lifted, we’d love to help you and your partner design your perfect engagement ring together. 

Here’s some of the creative rings our staff have pulled together: 

Heath's 'Cork and Cable Tie' ring:

Bryleigh's 'Stuck with Me Forever' Blutack ring:

Bridget's 'Pop(corn) the Question' ring:

Colleen's Nature Inspired Succulent and Tinfoil ring:
