People dream of the day they are proposed to from early childhood. The perfect proposal, followed by the perfect wedding and the perfect marriage. And we want to help you achieve it all when you opt to buy your engagement rings from our team in Kendal or Lancaster.
If you are the one doing the proposing, it can be quite a daunting task. Obviously, you know that you want to marry the love of your life, and because you love them so much, you want to make it unforgettable. So if you are planning a proposal and are unsure where to start, you need to pop in and see our team.
Find The Perfect Engagement Ring
We offer a tailored consultation to help you find the perfect ring for your significant other at our showrooms. When you visit us in-store, you are treated to a VIP experience, where we look at your individual needs and preferences. Our team will help you find the most precious diamond engagement ring for your partner, which will be as unique and special as they are.
We will talk you through your options for the all-important Four C’s of diamonds; cut, colour, clarity and carat. Whilst deciding, you can lay out your special plans to pop the question. Often talking it through can help you visualise and perfect the plan even more.
What’s more, there would be nothing worse than having the proposal’s surprise ruined. This is why we will whisk you away to a private room available in both our showrooms, where there is no chance of your future mother-in-law or your loved one’s best friend spotting you through the window. You can view our stunning collection of diamond rings in privacy with your personal shopper.
The Perfect Location for a Proposal
Our location in the South Lakes offers so many options for creating the ideal backdrop when popping the question. For the outdoorsy types, you could pop the question up one of the Lake District’s famous fells like Helvellyn or Scarfell.
If you are looking for something picturesque but without the need to hike, then take to the many walking trails with stunning waterfalls or stroll lakeside at Grasmere or Ullswater.
You could even choose to propose on a boat on the world-famous Windermere Lake, in a hot tub overlooking a lake, in a Michelin star restaurant, or on a hot air balloon overlooking the area’s beautiful scenery.
There are endless options for the perfect location in our area. You will be spoilt for choice, especially with the summer months coming up.
Some of the best locations will have meaning to you and your partner, so think about your first date, a favourite pastime, or the one thing you’ve both said you always want to do and centre it around that. Of course, having a backup plan for an outside occasion that may get rained off may be a good idea, too, as we can’t always rely on the weather in these parts!

Our Selection of Engagement Rings
When looking for the perfect ring, you have many options to choose from. There are various material choices, including gold, platinum or palladium, and a variety of shapes too. For example, we love this stunning pear-shaped diamond ring, but it may not be the ideal shape for your loved one. Have a think ahead of the consultation of what is best suited.
You want to choose something that will work well with your partner’s lifestyle and hobbies, that is comfortable for them for everyday wear as they will not want to take their ring off to carry out more activities.
While the budget will also be an essential factor, we offer engagement rings on finance so that you can spread the cost, and if the ring needs resizing after you’ve had that magic “yes”, you can simply pop into the store and we’ll be happy to help. However, it is always ideal to somehow measure your intended one’s ring finger prior to purchase (if you can do it discreetly, of course).

Making the Right Choice with Banks Lyon Kendal
Whether you have a style, shape and metal in mind or don’t know where to begin, our team of experts in Kendal can help. We can show you our selection of beautiful rings to match any budget and style.
What’s more, if you see the ideal ring, but it doesn’t meet your budget, we will find similar alternatives that fit better for you.
We’re seeing more and more couples coming into our showrooms looking to shop for the perfect ring together, and we love that this can also be a decision you make as a team. Should you and your partner have different ideas for designs, we can hand pick designs that meet both requirements or compromises in the best possible way.

Bespoke Rings from Banks Lyon
An alternative to buying one of the many beautiful engagement rings available from our team on the day is to get our in-house design team to design the ideal ring for your loved one.
Using a family heirloom as a starting point or creating a piece from your specification, we can offer a bespoke engagement ring design which is as unique as your loved one.
Our design team will consult you on every stage of the process, with as many redesigns and tweaks as needed until you are entirely comfortable with your choices. Once you’ve signed off the design, our talented goldsmiths will make the piece, and it will be independently assessed by the Birmingham Assay Office, so you know it is of the highest quality when it comes to you.
No matter when you plan on popping the question, pop into our Kendal Showroom to speak to our team about creating the perfect proposal. From choosing the ideal diamond engagement ring to discovering the perfect location, they will be happy to help.
