Buying something as significant as an engagement ring online can be nerve-wracking. It’s hard to imagine what a ring will feel like unless you try it on. Many online jewelers make guarantees, but how can you be sure unless you see the ring in person? It’s hard to envision what your engagement ring will look like from behind a computer screen.
How does a custom engagement ring at-home try-on work?
Most online jewelers have a selection of pre-made rings that you can choose from to try on. This is helpful if you are buying from an online ring retailer that doesn’t offer many customization options. However, before now, if you wanted to create a custom engagement ring online, no company could offer you a replica of your ring to try on. Trying on your engagement ring at home is especially crucial if you’re creating a custom engagement ring. At Wove, we want to give couples full certainty that they love the ring they’ve designed before investing. We’ve developed a process to create a unique replica of your custom ring using alloys and imitation diamonds for you to try on first. This solution allows you to try your ring on at home for size, fit, and style before committing to creating your final ring.
There are many reasons why you should try on your engagement ring at home before making a final purchase decision, but here are five of the most important reasons:
1. Try Your Ring on For Size
When it comes to ring size and fit, every hand is unique. Your ring may fit differently depending on the style of band you choose or the way the ring is set. Seeing a ring through your screen or even trying a similar ring in-store does not always mean your ring will fit as expected. By trying on your ring at home, you’ll see how tightly your ring will fit on your finger and get an idea of your diamond’s weight. Most people who are used to wearing fashion rings don’t take into account how differently a diamond ring will feel on your finger.
2. See If Your Ring Works With Your Lifestyle
You may not realize how much you do with your hands on a day-to-day basis, but you want to make sure that your ring does not get in the way of your daily activities. With a replica ring, you can go about your daily routine and see if your ring interferes in any way. Things like cooking, cleaning, exercising, and typing might feel different with your ring on.
3. Make Necessary Adjustments
Often, couples commit to an engagement ring only to realize there is something they should have removed or added. Trying on your ring at home is a great way to focus on little details before making a lifetime investment. Maybe after seeing the ring in person you’d rather go with fewer prongs or make the band pave. Perhaps you want to add a personal touch to your ring or change your band metal to yellow gold to better match your skin tone. By trying on the ring beforehand, you have control over the final look of your engagement ring and can better visualize the changes you want to make.
4. Get The Most Important Opinions
Although most people like to keep their engagement a secret from family and friends before it happens, you may want to get the opinion of someone important in your life before you buy your ring. This could be your partner, your best friend, or a close family member. There are many decisions to make surrounding your engagement and marriage, and having a second opinion can be helpful. A replica engagement ring allows you not only to see the ring for yourself but also to show a close friend or family member and see what they think.
5. Take The Stress Out of Purchase
One of the most common worries that online engagement ring shoppers have is that they can’t picture what their ring will look like in person. Engagement rings that you see online don’t always look the same when you put them on physically. When you try on your ring, you get an accurate idea of what the finished product will look like. Since this will be one of the most costly investments you make, you want to ensure you’re happy with the ring before buying it. Additionally, this is a piece you’ll be wearing for the rest of your life. Before you commit to a style, it’s important to try it on and see how it suits you.
We created Wove to give couples full certainty that the ring they design is exactly what they want. The replica process allows you to try your ring on for size, test it out in your daily life, and make adjustments. Seeing your ring in person before you buy it gives you the assurance that you’ll love the ring you’ve designed.
