Ready to Ship Engagement Rings

The ring is a standing finished design rather than one produced individually after ordering. Made-to-order work — our solid gold and platinum pieces — is built once you ask for it and takes weeks. These are not. Shipping time itself still depends on carrier and destination. Solid gold and platinum are made to order in three to six weeks, which is why they sit outside this collection.

Made-to-order means production begins after your order, which is the correct approach for solid gold and platinum. See how long custom jewelry takes for those timelines. Ready-to-ship designs skip that stage entirely. The production window for those metals is three to six weeks, measured from the order rather than from dispatch. Nothing in this collection carries that window, because the piece already exists before you order it.

Yes, but engraving adds time and reintroduces the wait you were avoiding. On a tight date, take the ring plain and engrave it afterward — the result is identical and the recipient can choose the words. See personalized jewelry. Engraving is a separate step applied to a finished ring, so having it done later changes nothing about the piece itself. It also gives the recipient a say in the wording, which is worth more than the timing.

925 sterling silver, 14K gold vermeil over sterling silver, tungsten carbide and titanium. Solid gold and platinum are excluded because those are made to order. Sterling is a solid alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, so the metal runs through the whole piece. Vermeil bonds a 2.5 micron layer of 10K or finer gold over that same sterling base, which is the US FTC standard. Tungsten carbide is exceptionally scratch-resistant and noticeably heavier in the hand, while titanium is lightweight and hypoallergenic.

Borrow a ring she already wears and measure the interior diameter, noting which finger it came from since fingers differ across a hand. Where a measurement is impossible, a slim or bezel-set band is more forgiving than a wide or contoured one. See stacking rings for slimmer profiles. Measure a ring worn on the same finger you have in mind, since the two hands rarely match.

It is the one thing that turns an on-time ring into a delayed one, which is why it is worth the remaining time. Proposing first and choosing the final piece together afterward removes the risk entirely, and is more common than it used to be. Browse best selling rings together after. A bezel or inlay setting with a slim profile is the most forgiving shape if you have to estimate.

No — the same designs, minus the made-to-order metals. The full range including solid gold sits at engagement rings for women, and gemstone rings covers the stone-led options. The stones are the same across both pages too — moissanite at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, sapphire and ruby at 9, moss agate and opal lower and better suited to protective settings. What changes is the metal, not the design.

Worth at least looking. Bands chosen without the engagement ring present are the most common cause of a pairing that does not sit right. See women's wedding bands and wedding ring sets for him and her. Profile and curvature matter more than metal here, because a contoured band has to meet the shoulders of a specific setting. Knowing what you want next also tells you which shapes to rule out today.
