NEW YORK, US –\u00a0Media
\nOutReach<\/b><\/a>\u00a0– 13 December 2021 –\u00a0J<\/sdt>ust ahead of “engagement season,<\/sdt>” the period between <\/sdt>Thanksgiving
\n and Valentine’s Day, De Beers Group and The Knots “Engagement Expectations”
\n study reveals new insights around marriage proposals in a post-COVID environment.
\n Nearly 300<\/sdt> <\/sdt>women in a <\/sdt>serious relationship<\/sdt> were surveyed about expectations
\n related to<\/sdt> the proposal
\nprocess, from where and how it takes place to the selection of the engagement
\nring. The findings highlight an increased interest in intimacy and connection
\nwhen it comes to the proposal itself, <\/sdt>and an almost universal desire among women to
\nhave some involvement in the selection of their engagement ring.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to a study conducted by De Beers Group and The
\nKnots on “Engagement Expectations” in a post-COVID environment, 96%
\nof respondents would like to have some involvement in the selection of their
\nengagement ring.<\/p>\n

While most pre-engaged
\n <\/sdt>women still want their
\npartner to propose to them, they want the experience to be more personal and
\nunique. Grand gestures and elaborate public displays were
\n less<\/sdt> appealing<\/sdt> to respondents, with a solid majority saying
\nthe ideal way to pop the question would be one person proposing to the other
\n (98%)<\/sdt>, planned ahead of
\ntime (66%)<\/sdt>,
\nand in a private place (66%)<\/sdt>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The pressure may be
\n off when it comes to staging a grandiose ask, but nearly every woman surveyed
\n (96%) said she wanted to have some involvement in the selection of her
\n engagement ring, <\/sdt>and would not want it to be a
\n total surprise. Three-fourths of pre-engaged females have thought a lot or
\n some about their engagement rings and most are increasingly preferring more
\n personalized and unique engagement rings. The primary choice for an engagement
\n ring remains a diamond, with the majority citing this as their first
\n choice.\u00a0 But contrary to popular
\n opinion, pre-engaged <\/sdt>women are less focused on how big the
\n diamond is than on the shape, style and setting of the stone. <\/sdt>\u00a0When
\n it comes to purchasing the ring, about 2 in 10 respondents expect both
\n partners to contribute to the cost; most women (76%) expect their partner will
\n pay.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/sdt><\/p>\n

\n<\/sdt> <\/p>\n

While females desire more intimate
\n proposals, the majority (85%) feel there is more pressure on their partners
\n to plan a unique proposal than in their parents’ generation. Additionally,
\n the majority (68%) also believe that ring designs today are more unique than
\n in their parents’ generation, and one in five feel the exchange of rings has
\n more meaning and significance today.<\/sdt><\/p>\n

Methodology<\/sdt><\/p>\n


\n<\/sdt> <\/p>\n

The Knot and De
\n Beers Engagement Expectations Study was <\/sdt>fielded on Instagram <\/sdt>in October 2021 among 296 females in a serious
\n relationship. <\/sdt><\/sdt>A majority of female respondents (77%)
\n participating in the survey believe they will be engaged in the next two
\n years. Most were between the ages of 18 and 34<\/sdt>.<\/p>\n
