About Engagement and proposal
An engagement gift sits between two moments: the question, and everything after it. The pieces that work best record the first one and make room for the second.
Where it happened
The place contour tile draws the exact place from USGS elevation data: the hill, the lake, the beach, the city block. Your names and the date are inlaid in the second color, flush with the surface. It is the piece couples keep on the shelf for decades because it is about a real spot on the map, not a stock sentiment.
Everyday keepsakes
A valet tray with both initials gives the ring a place to rest every night. A picture frame holds the photo taken a minute after the yes. For the friend who planned the whole thing, a name keychain is a small thank you.
A printed ring box is in design but not open for orders. We would rather say that plainly than sell something before it has passed testing.
Everything is printed to order, so allow about 10 business days before the date you need it. Free shipping from $50.
Questions about Engagement and proposal
What do you make for a proposal?
The place contour tile of where it happened, drawn from USGS elevation data with both names and the date, is the strongest keepsake. A picture frame or valet tray with initials also works well.
Do you make a ring box?
A printed ring box is in design and not open for orders yet. For now, a valet tray with both names gives the ring a place to rest every night.
Can I keep the gift a surprise?
Yes. Ship it to yourself, and the packing slip shows no prices if you mention it in the order note.
How long does it take?
Made to order pieces ship within about 5 business days, then 2 to 5 days in transit. Plan about 10 business days before the date you need it.
Can the date go on in Morse code?
On pieces with the Morse finish, the flutes can spell a short date or word, and the card in the box explains how to read it.
