  1.  Choose a favorite place—whether it's a fountain, hotel rooftop, monument or national park—that has personal significance to the two of you. Once you're there, ask someone nearby to take a picture of you together, and instead of posing, drop down on one knee.

    2. Have a choir, brass band or drum line show up for a surprise performance of your fiance-to-be's favorite love song in a park or public location for your proposal. For a really personal touch, ask the performers if they can incorporate your fiance's name into the lyrics.

    3. Get in touch with the stage manager of your favorite production and propose after the cast's curtain call. Call ahead and see if you can have a special note or ad placement added into the playbill, so you have a keepsake of the proposal.

    4. Arrange a surprise proposal with a street caricaturist. Have the caricaturist sketch a picture of you two with word bubbles that say, "Will you marry me?" and "Yes!"

    5. Ask the divers at an aquarium to put on a proposal show inside their biggest fish tank. Give them a (waterproof) sign that says, "Will you marry me?" to hold up against the glass and then position yourselves for what will, at first, seem like feeding time.

    6. Send your unsuspecting fiance-to-be on a treasure hunt that ends with your proposal. Start with a clue at home (a handwritten note or text message) that leads to a tour of your favorite spots all over town.

    7. Go out for a night of dancing and ask the DJ or bandleader to pass you the mic so you can dedicate a song and propose on the dance floor.

    8. Hire a skywriter to spell out your proposal for everyone around to see.

    9. Take out a full-page ad in a newspaper, and then pick the perfect spot to have a relaxing morning of catching up on current events. Another twist on this idea is to call into a radio station and then make sure your fiance-to-be is listening when your proposal is on the air.

  10. Plan a romantic destination getaway for two. When you're on the plane, use the loudspeaker system (of course, run your plan by the   flight attendants first) and propose at 35,000 feet.

My husband and I recently worked with Reynold on a custom ring at Hoboken Diamond in Hoboken New Jersey.   We provided the stone and spoke to him about the setting I wanted.   After showing him a couple of pictures, he assured us that it was possible to combine the different elements from each example that I wanted, and that I would have the perfect ring I envisioned.   He was right!   He provided a cad so we could see it before making it incase we wanted to make minor changes--not necessary.   He was able to take my vision and bring it to life.   It is a stunning ring and I am so grateful and proud to wear it.   Not only is it everything I hoped it would be, but Reynold was so accommodating to my timeline.   I needed it by a certain day, and it was ready for me.   I will absolutely be going back to Hoboken Gold and Diamonds for anything else in the future.
