The most popular time to propose is between Christmas and Valentines day, with the average man spending three months researching and looking for the perfect ring. So if you're not used to buying jewellery or not sure what her style of jewellery is, let us help.

Here at Nude Jewellery we specialise in the unusual, quirky and contemporary engagement rings and we love a challenge. Choosing a bespoke engagement ring is a great option because it means it will be special and unique. Plus being involved in the design process can be quite fun!

We specialise in creating handmade engagement rings and now have over 19 years experience. This service allows you to mix your individual style with a timeless bespoke jewellery piece that can be worn forever and be unique to you. We make sure that you are included throughout each aspect of the process to ensure that you feel confident that the finished result will be just as you imagined.

So, where do you start? Easy. There are a few questions that you can ask yourself to help narrow down the style of ring that would suit.

• Does your partner prefer dainty or bold?

• Would they like understated or dazzling?

• Which metal would they prefer, silver, yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, palladium or platinum? If you are not sure of the differences of the different metals then read our blog post: Explaining Precious Metals

• Are they traditional in style or would the prefer an unusual design?

• Would they prefer diamonds or would they prefer colour and gemstones?
