Using A Fake Engagement Ring During Your Proposal Can Save You Time, Money, And Unnecessary Headaches
Gone are the days of complete proposal surprises. Instead, so many more people are opting to propose using “fake” engagement rings– also known as placeholders.
In fact, according to market research conducted by Wedding Pro, three out of four people proposed to now have at least some sort of involvement in the selection or purchase of their engagement ring.
And you may be wondering, “What the heck, why?” Well, according to the jewelry company Sterling Forever, there are numerous good reasons.
First, some hopeful fiancés propose using a placeholder ring in order to avoid mistakes. After all, it can be insulting to over or underestimate your partner’s finger size.
Then, if it does not fit, it can be extremely costly to exchange an engagement ring. This is also true if your partner is unhappy with the style or cut of the ring.
So, it might be best to get some insight into their preferences before making the huge financial commitment.
And another reason will actually protect the proposer’s wallet instead of the proposee’s ring preferences.
Say that your partner says no to the engagement altogether; you will not have to go through a difficult return process at the jeweler.
So, if you have any doubts about your partner’s answer to marriage, a fake engagement ring can save you a lot of headaches.

Plus, if the proposal does go amazingly, then ring shopping with your partner can be another intimate pre-wedding experience that can bring the two of you even closer together.
Sterling Forever outlined all of these reasons in a now-viral Instagram Reel, which has since garnered over 4.3 million views, gained two hundred and forty-five thousand likes, and spurred over five hundred comments.
Apparently, tons of people had not heard of the “fake engagement ring” trend and were shocked by the ingenious idea. Some even suggested other scenarios where a fake ring might be beneficial, as well as how to make a fake ring more romantic.
“This is honestly super smart,” commented one user.
“I think this is so much better, but honestly, the fake ring could be like a ring pop or even a paper ring with a love note hidden in it. So much cheaper and super cute,” suggested another user.
“I feel like people also do this in case they lose it at proposal sites– lots of them being at beaches or hiking spots,” wrote a third user.
Regardless of why or how you want to use a fake engagement ring to your advantage, though, it is clearly hard to go wrong with the budget option.
