Proposing on Valentine's Day? It's Time to Order Your Custom Engagement Ring Now

Dec 17, 2025

Valentine’s Day might be two months away, but now is the time to order your engagement ring if you’re planning to propose! It’s one of the most popular days to get engaged and is a great alternative if you didn’t fancy proposing over the holiday season. With romance in the air, it’s easy to see why Valentine’s Day is such a popular choice. While it might seem far away, you’re quickly running out of time to order a custom engagement ring for the big day.

At Valley Rose, all our ethical engagement rings are made to order as part of our sustainable supply chain, and we always recommend ordering as early as possible, especially if you’re using a virtual consultation to design a custom ring.

Why Valentine’s Day Proposals Are Special

It’s impossible to escape romance on Valentine’s Day, and with all that love in the air, it’s the perfect time to propose. Whether it’s over a candlelight dinner or at your favorite quiet spot, you can make your Valentine’s Day even more memorable by popping the question, guaranteeing you’ll never forget the day you got engaged!

Although it’s one of the most popular days to propose, you can make your engagement even more meaningful by choosing a custom engagement ring. With our selection of fairmined gold and gemstones, including lab diamonds and responsibly-sourced sapphires, you can create a truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring.

Why You Should Order Your Custom Engagement Ring Early

While all our engagement rings are made to order, custom designs can take a little longer, especially if you’re not choosing from one of our pre-designed settings. Every ring is handcrafted by our master artisans in New York’s Diamond District to ensure everything from the setting to the stone placement is perfect. 

Our small batch production means you’ll want to allow at least 6 weeks for delivery, or longer depending on your chosen design. You’ll find an estimated delivery timeframe on the product page of every ring for added guidance.

Important Timings for Your Valentine’s Day Proposal

If you’ve fallen in love with one of our pre-designed engagement rings, like the ‘Farren Round Nature-Inspired Ring’,  we recommend ordering at least 6-8 weeks before the big day. However, if you’re planning to use our virtual consultation services, you’ll want to add a few extra weeks to this timeline to find your perfect gemstone and setting. 

1-2 weeks before Valentine’s Day, you’ll want to start considering your added extras. Do you want to order a bouquet of flowers to give to your partner after you get engaged? Would you like to buy some nice stationery for a handwritten note? Don’t forget that you may also need to get some of your friends and family involved to help with the logistics of your proposal.

Valentine’s Day is the most romantic time of year, and there’s a certain whimsical magic in the air that makes it the perfect day to propose.
