So many people propose to each other at fancy restaurants or football games that one really needs somewhere unique to truly make an impression on their future wife. But, where to go? The locations of Italy, the Caribbean, or Niagara Falls may look clichéd and boring nowadays. Enter the region of Somaliland, a breakaway from the country of Somalia and one of the newest tourist locations on the planet. But wait, before you hop on board that cruise ship headed towards the African coast, you need to buy yourself a good engagement band from a reputable online dealer. Having very few overheads gives these Internet jewellers the chance to offer you lower prices on some high-quality engagement rings. When looking for rings, make sure that the company does not buy blood diamonds from countries still in civil war. This includes countries like Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and Guinea whose diamonds are smuggled out illegally to sell for things like firearms. Luckily, Somaliland currently has no diamond deposits and hence cannot supply blood diamonds to the world.

It is also relatively peaceful compared to the surrounding countries and so should be a great place for you to travel to and propose to your future fiancé. Picture this, the two of you standing in the desert, the wind lapping at your clothes. You can hear the far-off sound of someone chanting from the famous Hargeisa Mosque in Somaliland's capital city. As the chanting fades, you take out your designer cluster diamond ring purchased from one of the many websites selling engagement rings online. Can you see how such an exotic location can help make your proposal all the more memorable? The rolling sand dunes, the pristine landscapes, as well as beautiful offshore islands will complement the beauty of any top quality engagement band and gemstones very well. The finely cut diamonds will shine out as bright as any desert sunshine and as you slip the ring on her finger, you can gaze up at your African goddess and admire her beauty in this amazing land. After she is proudly wearing that full eternity diamond ring embedded with amazing princess cut diamonds, you can then go on to enjoy the other sights around Somaliland. Do not miss the Naaso Hablood Mountains or the Lass Gaal Cave Paintings outside Hargeisa as two of the many great tourist attractions in this amazing, yet unknown area.

Despite its wonderful locations, Somaliland is probably not a good place to buy engagement rings from since it is one of the poorest countries on Earth. Buy that special round cut diamond ring at home first, and then start your voyage to Somaliland. While the plains of Africa may not seem like the most romantic place at first, by finding a good spot, it can become a lover's paradise. An isolated part of the lush, fertile Maroodi Jeex Region can be a great place to propose to your perfect partner with a seven stone diamond ring that can tell her you love her more than the vast African continent itself.
