If she strays from the limelight, she may appreciate one of our New Year’s Eve proposal ideas with a little less flash. Where there’s a New Year’s celebration, there’s usually food, so slip her a little surprise where she’ll never expect it.

When she realizes the John Atencio Majesty Round Engagement Ring in 18k Rose Gold shimmering by the caviar is for her, pop the question and gain her hand. Subtlety has its charms.
Ask Him with a Toast
If the champagne is flowing freely during your New Year’s Eve party, then use it for another of our New Year’s Eve proposal ideas. From putting the John Atencio Eclipse Band directly in the bottom of his bubbly (ensuring he doesn’t swallow it) to hooking it on his glass with a drink marker, there is a fun way to raise a toast to your man and ask him to be forever yours when the clock strikes midnight. Thinking out of the box? Add a surprise to his New Year’s Eve by stacking his ring between the olives of his cocktail then posing that question when you present his refreshment. Make a toast and step into 2022 as an engaged couple.
Say it in the Snow
Whether you jet off to a cabin in the woods or you get the gift of snow where you live, proposing in a winter wonderland on New Year’s Eve is a memorable way to start the rest of your lives. Introduce whimsy by slipping the Intrigue Diamond Engagement Ring in 18k White Gold by John Atencio on the snowman’s carrot nose or light up the night with holiday lights surrounding the proposal she’s been waiting for. You can invite others or share a heartfelt moment alone in the brisk air to ring in the New Year. After the ball falls, ask her to spend all of her tomorrows with you. There are so many variations on wintertime New Year’s Eve proposal ideas, and the glistening snowflakes provide a lovely backdrop for that once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Tie it on a Balloon for Him
