Planning a Holiday Proposal? When to Order Your Engagement Ring & Diamond Jewellery
The holiday season is one of the most popular times of year for proposals, celebrations, and meaningful gifts. Whether you’re planning to propose over Christmas, surprise someone with diamond earrings, or have a special piece of jewellery made, a little advance planning can make the process much easier.
At Modern Diamond Brokers in Calgary, many of our engagement rings and jewellery pieces are made to order. While we recommend getting started early, we also keep a curated selection of finished jewellery in our showroom for those shopping on a shorter timeline.
Here’s what to know about ordering jewellery ahead of the holidays.
Custom Engagement Rings: Allow Approximately 4–5 Weeks
If you’re planning a Christmas proposal or hoping to have a custom engagement ring ready for the holidays, we recommend starting the process at least 4–5 weeks in advance.
This gives us time to work through the design details, source your diamond, and create your finished ring.
Whether you’re choosing one of our existing engagement ring designs or creating something completely unique, we work with you to select the diamond, setting, metal, and finishing details that bring your vision together. Check out our engagement rings page or visit us in our Calgary showroom to see ready to take home options.
For fully custom engagement ring designs, particularly those requiring CAD design and approval, we recommend reaching out even earlier to allow time for revisions.
Our recommendation: If you’re planning a Christmas proposal, October and early November are ideal times to begin exploring your options.
Shopping Closer to Christmas? We Have Engagement Rings in Stock
Not every proposal is planned months in advance, and we understand that sometimes the perfect moment comes together a little more quickly.
Alongside our made-to-order engagement rings, we keep a small, curated selection of finished engagement rings available in our Calgary showroom.
These rings are already completed, making them a great option for customers who are working with a shorter timeline or would prefer to see and purchase their exact ring in person.
Our in-stock selection varies, so we recommend contacting us to see what is currently available.
A shorter timeline doesn’t necessarily mean you have to put your proposal plans on hold.
Diamond Studs & Pendants: Allow Approximately 3–4 Weeks
Diamond earrings and pendants are popular holiday gifts, whether you’re celebrating a first Christmas together, a milestone, or simply looking for something special.
Our made-to-order lab grown diamond studs and pendants typically take 3–4 weeks to complete.
We offer a variety of diamond shapes, sizes, and setting styles, allowing you to select something that suits both your preferences and budget.
We also keep a small selection of finished diamond studs and pendants in our showroom for customers who need something sooner.
If you have a particular diamond size or style in mind, ordering ahead gives you the widest range of options.
Wedding Bands: Allow Approximately 3–4 Weeks
The holidays can also be a great opportunity to get ahead on wedding planning.
Whether you’re looking for a classic gold wedding band, a diamond-accented design, or something to complement your engagement ring, our wedding bands typically take 3–4 weeks to complete.
We recommend allowing additional time for designs that require customization or special adjustments.
Even if your wedding isn’t until the following year, getting your wedding bands organized before the busy wedding season is one less thing to worry about.
What If You’re Unsure About Your Timeline?
If you have a specific date in mind, the best thing to do is reach out.
While our typical production timelines are a helpful guide, availability and completion times can vary depending on the design, materials, and time of year.
We’ll always be straightforward about what’s possible within your timeline and help you explore the options available.
For those planning a surprise proposal, we can also help you navigate the process of choosing a diamond and setting, even if you’re not entirely sure where to start.
