How We Chose the Perfect Engagement Ring Online!

Many of you might already know, but Leo and I recently got engaged! We have been together for over 6 years and have talked on and off about marriage and decided that this was the year we were going to get engaged. Something I have always loved and appreciated about our relationship is how it truly is a partnership. We are in this together and make our big decisions together. Our decision to get engaged was mutual and something we were both looking forward to so of course we wanted the engagement ring to reflect that as well.

I first heard about VRAI from fellow bloggers online and I always was in awe how simple, classic and completely stunning their rings were. I’ve always imagined my wedding ring to be very simple and a piece that would beautifully accompany me through life. Plus VRAI’S sustainable values and practices were another reason we knew that we we’re making the right choice for us. If you didn’t know, VRAI jewelry is made with recycled gold and diamonds sustainably created by Diamond Foundry, the one and only 100% carbon-neutral diamond producer.

When we decided to go with VRAI, I went ahead and picked a few of my favorite rings from their site. I basically came to my top three choices (here they are if you’re curious! Choice one, two and three)

And then I had Leo make the final decision. Basically, I wanted him to imagine he were in the store picking out a ring and decide from my choices which one he would go with. That way, the ring would be true to my style but still have the sentimental thought of him making the final decision….and he did great! <3 I know picking an engagement ring online can seem a little daunting and scary but I assure you, VRAI made it so easy!

They offer a few things as well to help with the process of buying online! We didn’t use this feature because we were set on our ring style and choice, but they have “virtual engagement appointments” where you can talk to someone and virtually try on rings to see what the size would look like and help with your decision. They also have a few private pop ups so that you can see the pieces in person as well but if they aren’t in your city, they have a return policy as well to make sure you’re 100% happy with your choice!

I honestly couldn’t be any happier with my ring. It’s classic. It’s simple but stunning, all of the things I had imagined in a ring and now it’s on my finger to remind me of how special our love is too. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about VRAI or how we picked our engagement ring, I am here and happy to help!
