Four Retailers that Offer Virtual Try-On (VTO) for Engagement Rings

An engagement ring is one of the most important purchases of a couple’s life. Not only is it a big commitment financially, but it also represents their future life together. Many couples will go to a jeweler to try on various types of rings; however, some couples don’t live close to a jeweler or don’t have the time. 

Virtual engagement ring try-on has changed the game. Couples are now able to try on endless engagement ring styles from the comfort of their own home. For jewelry retailers, adding this capability to big-ticket items, like diamond engagement and wedding rings, also increases revenue without the cost of additional advertising spend. Below is a list of four retailers that are offering virtual try on of engagement rings. 

1. Jewlr

Jewlr is a direct-to-consumer jewelry brand that lets couples design and personalize their own rings, from engagement styles to wedding bands, at a fraction of traditional retail prices. Because every piece is custom, Jewlr wanted an online experience that matched the confidence of shopping in person.

By adding Virtual Try-On, Jewlr gives shoppers a way to see their personalized ring on their own hand before committing to a purchase. The result: a 10.4% increase in conversion rate and a 15.38% increase in revenue per visitor. As Daniel Stoppel, President & CEO of Jewlr, put it: "Jewelry is very personal, which can make it difficult to purchase online. We provide custom jewelry, so we also wanted to provide a custom shopping experience."

2. Jared

A member of the world’s largest jewelry retailer, Signet, Jared operates more than 200 stores in the US. The brand believes in spectacular expressions of love and specializes in engagement and wedding rings. Jared wants their online store to mimic the experience that customers have in-store, which includes allowing shoppers to try before they buy. 

By equipping their catalog with VTO, Jared gives online shoppers the confidence to purchase the most important piece of jewelry in a couple's life.

Frequently Asked Qustions

No. Virtual try-on adds a visualization layer on top of a product; it doesn't replace accurate product data or existing imagery. In a quality-checked pipeline, the brand's existing product photo is actually the foundation the result is built from.

It places the brand's real 2D catalog photo of the item onto a hand, wrist, or ear from a reference photo, rather than generating a new image of the product from scratch. The item's proportions and details come from the actual product photo; the AI handles scale, angle, and blending onto the shopper's photo. This is different from older try-on technology, which mapped a manually built 3D or 2D asset onto the shopper using fixed geometric rules, and different from generic AI image generators, which typically synthesize the product rather than place a real photo of it.

We recommend supporting the launch with a dedicated email announcing the new feature, ideally featuring an animated GIF that demonstrates the experience in action and links to a category page with VTO-enabled products.

To build broader awareness, homepage visibility is also important. Banners or other prominent placements can help introduce the feature to more visitors and encourage trial.

We also suggest adding a short explanation of how the feature works. Even when the experience is simple, some shoppers may benefit from a little extra guidance before they feel comfortable using it.

Finally, we recommend promoting the new capability across social media and user-generated-style content so that more of your audience is exposed to it and encouraged to engage.
