SPRING (AND, LOVE) IS IN THE AIR!

Sure, the wintertime is arguably the most popular season to pop the question. 40% of all engagements occur between the end of November to the end of February with engagements peaking in December at 19%.

However, at Olivia Ewing Jewelry, we feel that Spring, with its verdantly lush landscapes and abundance of new life, presents the perfect backdrop for your proposal. In fact, we’ve compiled our top five reasons why a springtime proposal is more romantic than a winter proposal and included our five favorite ‘springy’ engagement rings so you can pair your proposal in style. Read on to find out!

REASON 5: WINTER IS OVERDONE

There's a scene in the movie The Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly, the icy and intimidating editor-in-chief of Vogue knockoff, Runway sardonically responds to a fashion editor suggesting floral accessories for an upcoming article in the magazine, Priestly responds, "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking."

And just like Miranda Priestly was so over the yearly pushing of floral designs in fashion so are we with winter engagements. We'd go as far to reinvent the line for the wedding industry, "An engagement? In Winter? Groundbreaking."

Sure, it's easy to get swept up in the romance of snowflakes and holiday lights when you're nestled inside your warm home with a cup of hot cocoa on hand. But if you want to stand out from the rest of the pack this season with an engagement that is truly unique and actually groundbreaking then spring is the season to propose.

LOOKING FOR A GROUNDBREAKING ENGAGEMENT RING? CONSIDER OUR GARLAND MONTANA SAPPHIRE FOUR STONE RING

Adorn your loved one with not one, two, or three, glittering gemstones, but four to let them know that you’ll love them 'four-ever'.

Four rough uncut Montana sapphires are expertly paired to perfectly complement one another in variegated shades of teal and blue, appearing to gleam and glow from within.

The delicate sapphires are set on a solid band of yellow, rose, or white gold, that has been expertly handwrought from a foraged American Winterberry Holly Sprig. The resulting ring is a wearable work of art and a testament of your true love.

REASON 4: THE SPRINGTIME SYMBOLIZES NEW BEGINNINGS

In ancient history, the spring vernal equinox was considered the first day of a new year. It was actually not until 1582 that a revised calendar that included leap years and began on January 1st was introduced, and even then, American and Great Britain colonies waited to adapt this change until 1752.

It makes sense why many would celebrate the new year in spring. Life appears to spring anew after the depth and darkness of the winter, and precious resources once more become readily available. And what better way to symbolize the new beginning of the next stage of your relationship than proposing during a time that has historically symbolized new beginnings?

Four melee diamonds delicately outline the top of the center stone creating a unique half-halo effect that perfectly complements the brilliance of the stone. Set within a solid gold or platinum band that has been crafted from a real budded twig, the Demi Naples Diamond Half Halo is a perfect representation of the joys and fruits of the spring.

REASON 3: YOU CAN’T BEAT PERFECT SPRING WEATHER

Unlike winter, when the temperatures can be frigid and the conditions icy, springtime offers a more comfortable outdoor ambiance with sunnier, longer days and an abundance of beautiful fresh flowers.

If you’ve been dreaming of an outdoor proposal then you can’t go wrong with proposing in the spring. Thanks to daylight savings, The extended daylight hours also provide more opportunities for you to enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking, picnicking, or simply taking a walk hand in hand. And because it’s not summer, you don’t have to worry about sweating through your shirt!

If that wasn’t enough, the sunny weather and beautiful blooming flowers create a vibrant and colorful backdrop for a romantic outdoor proposal. So why not pop the question in a garden or park to take full advantage of the verdant grass and pastel flowers?
