This is the best idea ever.

These days a lot of people who are planning to propose to their significant other choose a dummy ring or "promise" ring until they get engaged. It's very romantic and traditional to have the actual ring to propose with but sometimes it's just easier to be cautious. Especially with the amount of money being spent, it's not something you want to rush. A jeweler in the UK, Beaverbrooks, has come up with a range of proposal rings to be used in the event that someone doesn't want to take the plunge and buy the actual ring. They can pop the question without the added worry that they’ve made the wrong choice of engagement ring. The rings, which vary in price from £40-£60, come in various different styles and are replicas of the actual rings on sale. It's a great starting point for anyone who wants to propose. The 15-piece range of silver cubic zirconia rings can be bought online and after proposing customers are able to claim a unique discount code to the value of the proposal ring, from Beaverbrooks, which can then be redeemed towards the cost of a diamond engagement ring online or in store.
