There’s nothing quite like spring. As the days slowly get longer and brighter, a certain type of cheer appears to descend on city and country alike. Birds sing, flowers bloom, and partners start dropping to one knee in celebration of a relationship like no other. So, in celebration of one of the best times of the year, we’ve rounded up our favorite five springtime engagement rings that practically propose themselves. But before we start the glitter and glam, let’s go over exactly why spring is a popular time for marriage proposals.

IS THE SPRINGTIME OFFICIALLY PROPOSAL SEASON?

Believe it or not, while it may seem that there’s a different couple getting engaged every other day in the spring, springtime is not considered an engagement season. That award goes to the dreary winter months, more specifically, the holiday season and anytime between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is a pretty popular day to get engaged. An estimated 6 million people will get engaged on that special day.

Outside of the winter days however, springtime reigns supreme. May is the second most popular month to get engaged and late March follows close behind. This all makes sense when considering the fact that the American engagement tends to be between 12-18 months and peak wedding season falls in September and October. So hey, if you dropped hints all winter only to be let down this winter you may find a sparkly gift hidden in a blooming flower sometime soon!

OUR TOP 5 SPRINGTIME BESTSELLERS

Let’s hop on over to our list. The following rings are the perfect blend of sweet springtime hues and vibrant floral hues.

Centerstage is a pear-shaped aquamarine that practically screams, "Hello, spring!"

CUSTOM ENGAGEMENT RING WITH STARBRITE CUT GEMSTONE FROM JOHN DYER

There’s nothing more romantic than a customized engagement ring, and there’s nothing more springy than the deeply detailed faceting patterns and playful spring colors of a John Dyer StarBrite cut gem. We love the joyful play of pink and green in bicolor Oregon sunstones or the rosy-pinkish gleam of a Malaya garnet.

Meanwhile, the StarBrite cut employs a rigid faceting process that increases the brightness and color saturation of the gem while offering a unique appearance. When paired with any of our custom settings, the resulting engagement ring is a magical testament to the beauty and power of your love, which, unlike the springtime, promises to bloom eternally.

This whimsical creation mirrors the intricate patterns of life, weaving through the spring meadows. Each delicate twist and turn of the band recalls the vines and stems of a new spring bloom, cradling precious blossoms. With this ring, not only is a vow made, but the very essence of spring—with its fresh starts and blossoming love—is captured and promised, as perennial and evergreen as the ring on their finger.
