NEENAH, Wis. (October 22, 2019) - A recent survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Jewelers Mutual, found it takes an average of two months for men to find the perfect ring before getting down on one knee. But more surprising, 30% of men sneak the ring into a shoebox to keep it safe between purchase and proposal.
A lot can happen between the ring purchase and the proposal day. Jewelers Mutual offers advice to help soon-to-be brides and grooms keep their rings safe from purchase to proposal (and happily ever after).
- Who should insure the sparkler? Whomever has it in his/her possession first.
- Is a shoebox the best storage place? Itâs not Jewelers Mutualâs first choice but suggests asking a trusted jeweler to hang onto it or renting a safe-deposit box instead.
There are more tips like these in Jewelers Mutualâs comprehensive Purchase to Proposal Guide, which is a valuable resource available for jewelers to share with their customers.
Jewelers may also share the infographic, video and guide through email or social channels as tools to build trust, engage their customers and enhance their relationships.
âPopping the question and finding that perfect ring to symbolize love are huge decisions. Deciding how to protect the ring should be equally important,â said Jessica VandenHouten, Jewelers Mutual brand communications manager. âJewelry insurance allows consumers to pop the question without worry, knowing if things donât go exactly as planned, theyâre covered.â
