New data has ranked as New York one of the top states for the likelihood of Valentine's proposals this year. New York is the second-highest state in the U.S. for Valentine's proposal likelihood this year, based on engagement ring shopping and proposal-planning search behavior ahead of February, according to a new nationwide Valentine’s Proposal Likelihood Index. Ring style and metal preferences were analyzed separately and combined to indicate the most likely engagement ring configuration by state. In New York, round cut styles and gold are the most searched-for options — offering a snapshot of the kind of ring that could be appearing on fingers this Valentine’s. With Valentine’s Day one of the most popular proposal dates of the year, the findings highlight New York as a national hotspot for February engagement planning.
