How Long Does It Take to Get an Engagement Ring?

For those short on time, ready-to-ship rings are a seamless option. These designs are in stock and available for next-day shipping. Many can arrive within three days, depending on your location and selected shipping method. Simply explore your options, choose based on your preferred style, metal color, and diamond shape, and make sure the ring is in your size. Note that many brands offer complimentary resizing, if necessary. 

Prefer a piece that feels more personalized? Made-to-order rings are crafted just for you after purchase. This process typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks, though exact timelines may vary depending on center stone and setting selection. The process is similar to ready-to-ship shopping, except made-to-order rings are usually available in a much larger variety of settings. Choose your preferred style, metal color, and diamond shape, then add on personalized details, like a pavé band, two-tone prongs, or more. Made-to-order rings are crafted to your exact ring size, so measure before for the perfect fit.

For a one-of-a-kind symbol of your story, custom design is a meaningful route. Creating a bespoke engagement ring with diamond experts involves a collaborative design process and can take 4 to 6 weeks or more based on complexity and approval stages. Start by booking an appointment and selecting styles or design elements that inspire you. Then discuss with your diamond expert how to integrate these details into a truly unique engagement ring that reflects your love. 

• Design complexity – Intricate details, such as custom pavé settings, engravings, or more can add time. Inquire about the ring’s timeline to make sure it will be ready on time.
  
  
• Center stone availability – Specific carat weights or shapes may not be already available. If you want a center stone in a high carat weight or shape that’s not currently in stock, you can utilize VRAI’s Cut for You ™ offering to have a VRAI created diamond cut to your specifications within 15 days. 
  
  
• Resizing needs – If the ring requires adjustments, expect additional time. Measure beforehand to ensure a seamless fit from the start.

• Start early – Begin the process 2–3 months before your planned proposal to ensure a timely arrival.
  
  
• Book a virtual appointment – Diamond experts can help you navigate timelines and set expectations.
  
  
• Protect your purchase – Consider insuring the ring once it’s in hand to make sure your investment lasts a lifetime.

Whether you’re on a short timeline or planning well in advance, understanding your options helps ensure your engagement ring is ready when it matters most. At VRAI, every ring is crafted with intention — whether it's available to ship now or made just for you — so you can focus on what truly matters: the moment you say yes.
