Clare Watson, store manager at Beaverbrooks Huddersfield, said: “Engagements are becoming almost as important as the big day itself.

“It’s not only picking the perfect ring that counts for couples but also the location, atmosphere and little details that mean a lot to them that really make a proposal special.

“The rise in social media means that proposals are documented in a way we’ve never seen before. While the ring is still the key focus, couples are going above and beyond to make their engagement memorable and shareable.”
