# $10,000 Proposals The Monica Martini by Minus5 Ice Bar Raises a Glass to Fancy Engagements By Jordan M | Published 2011-02-15 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monica-martini-by-minus5-ice-bar References: [bornrich](http://www.bornrich.com/entry/pop-the-question-in-style-with-the-10000-monica-martini/) & [hauteliving](http://www.hauteliving.com/2011/02/cool-engagement-the-10000-monica-martini-at-minus5-ice-bar/) The Beatles may have sung that "all you need is love," but I’m sure the Monica Martini by Minus5 Ice Bar wouldn’t hurt either. For a breezy $10,000, those hoping to [pop the question](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-box-set) in ultra luxurious style can surprise their loved one with a vodka martini that comes complete with an Aaron Lelah Jeweler's [diamond ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrot-gold-engagement-ring) engraved inside its glass. The buyer of the Monica Martini by Minus5 Ice Bar gets to pick the ring, which is then put inside a [martini glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ernestine-mini-martini) made from "pure artesian water from New Zealand." The better and more salient point in all of this luxury and romance, however, is the question of how you get it out afterward. I’m picturing shards of glass flying every which way. If boats are traditionally christened by breaking a bottle, would it then stand to reason that so are engagements? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Proposals:** Opportunity for luxury brands to create proposals packages for high-end clients - **Personalized Jewelry:** Creating personalized jewelry offerings can add value to proposals packages - **Unique Experiences:** Opportunity to create unique and upscale experiences for those looking for one-of-a-kind engagements ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Luxury hotels and resorts can offer proposal packages that include personalized engagement rings and unique experiences that add value for their guests - **Jewelry:** Jewelry brands can partner with luxury bars and restaurants to offer unique proposal packages with personalized jewelry options - **Event Planning:** Event planners can offer high-end clients unique and one-of-a-kind engagement packages that include personalized jewelry and unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cocktail Flavor-Inspired Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nontraditional-engagement-ring.md) - [Yacht Proposal Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sail-away-with-me.md) - [Engagement Ring Claw Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engagement-moment.md) - [Onion Ring Proposals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onion-ring-proposal.md) - [Low-Cost Distillery Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distillery-wedding.md) - [$290 Leap Year Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/290-leap-year-weddings.md) - [Branded Free Wedding Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-married-at-serendipity3.md) - [Precious Chocolate Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serendipity3-diamond-frrrozen-hot-chocolate.md) - [Unique Wedding Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-the-ledge.md)
