Local Jewelers HaveYou Covered W hen it comes to wedding proposals, elaborate gestures have surfaced in recent years. From popping the question minutes before skydiving from an airborne helicopter to getting down on one knee in close proximity to a potentially active volcano, grooms go to great lengths to make sure the setting is just right. The engagement ring, like the proposal, should be just as memorable.

We reached out to several Mount Pleasant retailers who specialize in delivering the very best options to soon-to-be-engaged clients. From the glimmering traditional to the arty out-of- the-box, these purveyors of sparkle offer it all.
