If you have the ideal proposal in mind and the ring to match, why not pop the question in the middle of winter with a winter inspired engagement ring? This blog will give you many winter inspired engagement ring ideas.
Winter is usually associated with colder colours, such as blues and greys, however, if you prefer to go the warmer route that is also encouraged. Warm reds and oranges gives the illusion of heat during the cold. Because of this we are going to look at the different coloured stones, best suited for a winter inspired engagement ring, as well as which metals work best with winter.
Rubies & Rose Gold
According to Gia, “Ruby is the most valuable variety of the corundum mineral species, which also includes sapphire.” A ruby with his beautiful moody red colour is ideal for a winter proposal. We are a few months early with regards to birthstones, as the ruby is July’s birthstone. However, if you are considering a winter proposal, hold on to that ruby red engagement ring for another two months and pop the question during her birth month with her winter inspired birth stone engagement ring.

Sapphires and White Gold
For the lady who prefers the gloomy mood and enjoys the colder winter days, the blue sapphire along with a white gold band is the ideal combination for her winter inspired engagement ring.
