Wondering how to choose an engagement ring? Get to know any ring like the back of your hand with our Virtual Engagement Ring Try-On.

Try Your Hand at James Allen's Virtual Engagement Ring Try-On

It looks beautiful on the site, but how will it look on your finger? Here’s how to find out, using only your smartphone!

At James Allen, we believe your ring-trying experience should suit your lifestyle. It’s only natural to want to try before you buy, especially with a purchase as important as an engagement ring. So what could be better than trying on an endless selection of rings at any time or place? 

Our nifty Virtual Engagement Ring Try-On lets you actually wear your favorite James Allen rings, with some convenient point-and-click smartphone magic. This innovative feature eliminates much of the guesswork commonly associated with ring shopping… and it’s super addictive!

You’ll find yourself trying on rings while waiting in line for coffee while watching Netflix on the couch, or at 2am when you can’t sleep. Your ring, your schedule, your convenience.

FYI: This is an engagement ring-only, smartphone-only feature. Wedding rings and laptops need not apply.

How It Works

Ready to get your engagement ring on? Grab your phone and follow these three easy steps. Will this work on your desktop? No. It’s smartphone-only because it’s a 2021 baby.

Learn how to measure your ring size in 3 easy steps

Step 1: Tap the ‘Try-On’ Icon

If a certain engagement ring piques your interest, go into its product page to virtually try it on. Click the “Try-On” icon to get started.

Step 2: Snap a Shot of Your Hand

You’ll be prompted to take a photo of your hand. Onto this photo, you’ll be able to superimpose your chosen ring. You can resize, rotate, and even change out various diamond shapes! You’ll get an accurate idea of how nice your hand looks, be-sparkled. 

Step 3: Share Your Bedazzled Hand!

Send to your partner, get second opinions from friends and family, or post to your followers on social media to brag that you’ve found the one! It’s super simple to loop others in on your ring decision.

The Real Benefits of the Virtual Ring Try-On

The beauty of an on-the-rack item isn’t a guarantee of its suitability off-the-rack. There are quite a few aspects of an engagement ring that can only be taken into account by slipping it onto your actual finger. Here’s what you can learn via the Virtual Try-On:

  • Which Metals Suit Both Your Skin Tone and Diamond Color

Should you choose white gold or platinum? What about 14k or 18k gold? White metals suit cooler skin tones and colorless diamonds. On the other hand, warm metals like yellow gold or rose gold look incredible on warmer skin tones, and are great at hiding less-sought after yellowish diamond tones.

  • Which Diamond Shape Best Complements Your Finger Length

If you’d like your fingers to appear longer, go for elongated and tapered shapes like oval, marquise, or pear. If you’re a fan of chunkier, bolder styles, then you’ve got to try on asscher, emerald, or princess. And if more delicate, rounded styles look perfect on your digit, you can’t go wrong with a heart, cushion, or classic round brilliant. 

  • Which Styles are too Simple, Which are too Much, and which are Just Right.

This is all up to your individual taste! You’ve got complete freedom to try on, test out, and push your ring style boundaries.

How To Find Your Ring Size

Found your ring? Now find your ring size! James Allen offers free ring sizing for up to 1 year after your purchase. If you live in the United States, you can even get your ring resized locally at a location near you. 

You have 4 ways to ensure that your ring will fit you properly:

Step 1: Use a Ring That Fits

Hold your good-fitting, non-engagement ring up to your screen and adjust the circles on the screen to fit around it. Click “apply” and we’ll tell you your ring size!

Step 2: Measure Your Finger

Use a length of ribbon or twine to measure the circumference of your finger. Type in your finger measurements in either inches or millimeters, and we’ll calculate your ring size.

Step 3: Convert From Other Units

If you know your Australian, British, Canadian, or German ring size, tell us and we’ll convert it for you.

Step 4: Request a Free Ring Sizer

Starting from scratch? Request a free ring sizer and we’ll send you a plastic ring sizer in the mail!
