Hello everyone! I'm thinking of some cool ideas to propose to my girlfriend and thought it would be really cool to get her some sort of gift with a secret compartment that has the ring.
I'd like it to be hard to find accidentally of course, though she already told me she wants to marry me so it wouldn't be the end of the world, but I'd still like it to be a surprise.
Lastly I'd like it to be something she would use or wear often. I like the idea of her having it with her all along and then me revealing it when its time. Another form of jewelry makes sense obviously but anything would do.
Thanks in advance!
I’m not sure of your budget but last season’s NBA championship rings held a smaller regular ring inside. It was pretty cool. Maybe something like that she could wear around her neck like a pendant.
I’m sure there’s a non-NBA budget version of that idea that could work.
Or if you aren’t looking to go the custom route and she likes vintage things, a lot of vintage makeup compacts were made to be jewelry and it would have a compartment. Some variation of those words into a search could net a variety of results. The items weren’t always obvious that they had compartments.
Thanks! And luckily her ring size is only 4.5 so it would be easy to hide
One of the best I’ve ever seen. https://imgur.com/a/engagement-ring-box-mskl7
I want to say thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I happen to also do wood and metalwork as a hobby so it is right up my alley. Time to get designing!
I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Its not going to happen anytime soon but I will try to remember to update this
Dang. I got heart locket and a key for him.
He cried because he forgot the key at wedding.
I had a backup. I'm kinda cool.
Lol yeah im only doing it for the proposal. If either of us don't have our ring on hand, I can just do it later lol
I know it doesn’t quite fit your mold, but I’d be remiss not to share. Hide it in the Christmas tree if you have one. It’s something she will look at everyday but fail to see it until you need it. I have family that used to do that with jewelry at Christmas.
My wife found some tree ornament ring boxes. My engagement ring was on the tree in a golden bell ornament.
Although, that was over 30 years ago. I have no idea if such a thing is still made.
Not really what you’re looking for but for my first wife I bought a box of cracker jacks, removed the tiny envelope with the cheap junk prize and carefully replaced it with her engagement ring, sealing the envelop and placing it back in the box. Watching a movie the next night with her family (in on it) we made sure not to take the prize and just pass the box on around. She finally pulled it out, opened it, and was appropriately puzzled, then shocked and happy. Great night.
Does she have other jewelry that she could keep in a nice jewelry box? Might be cool to get a nice one with a secret compartment and be like “you can put all your nice jewelry in it AND there’s a secret compartment, see you just do this and this …TADA!
Like a dummy secret to hide the real secret. I like it
And those secret compartment boxes are too cool all on their own
Agreed. I might have to add that into my plans
Do you have a house? If so I got you. I killed this one. Take a tee out back; decorate it. In secret. Then take her out out to see it click it on and she looks up. When she looks down… bam.
