Planning a COVID-19 Engagement? We have it covered. Your Engagement Ring delivered when you Need It. Where You Need. Secretly if Required. Delivery Options to suit even the most uncanny expectations.

We live in challenging times. With the COVID virus still raging throughout much of the world. With the reality of travel restrictions, government-mandated limits to outdoor life, and even outright lock-downs are an ever-present possibility. So the time for romance and the idea of building something anew may seem quite alien. But it need not be so. Life must find a way. Your pursuit of happiness, to share a special moment with someone you care about, need not be hampered. Whilst the world may have been affected dramatically by this unpredictable, almost uncontrollable force. Humanity, as usual, finds a way.

An Uncanny Time for an Engagement

Are you planning your engagement in this time of uncertainty? If so, but are fearful of taking the risk of going outside, making that journey to your select store to learn about, choose, hold and decide on what engagement ring is the right choice for you? Then Relax. We have things covered (see delivery options). If letting your loved one know that it is time to take the next big step, then a global pandemic no less, shouldn’t be a hindrance. The first step is obviously finding the right place with a wide variety of options in terms of precious stones, metal types, ring designs and if needed, the choice for custom designs (link keywords dedicated pages). Be sure to take your time in making this decision. As an engagement ring is one that will stay with you (hopefully) for a long time.

Getting your hands on the right Engagement Ring

Once you have made up your mind on your choice of engagement ring, then the next step is figuring out how you’re getting your hands on it. If you’re lucky enough to be living in a part of the world, where there are no COVID-related restrictions: a region where shops are open, where direct contact between buyers and sellers, including the chance to get measurements for your ring size, the ability to make changes in real-time, to suit your tastes, then I wish you good luck! And even if all these options were available to you, the question is: are you brave enough to venture out, and make your way into a jewellery store to buy your engagement ring? So many questions. So much uncertainty. But you have made up your mind: I want an engagement ring for my beloved. But I am not willing to take too big a risk. I want my engagement ring where and when I like it. So what must I do?

Home Delivery Option

Provided that you and your fiance don’t share a place together, this would be the most important question, for if you are thinking of going for a solid jeweller option, check if they have this basic requirement covered: A jeweller who is able to deliver your engagement ring, sealed, safe and secure to your front door. Here you must consider if their delivery services cover your particular area. If you’re living in Melbourne, Australia, a jeweller based in New York City, USA may not have the logistics or the geographic reach to bring the purchased engagement ring to your door. Look for jewellers, who have a history of providing quality gemstone jewellery to customers in your region, with swift, safe delivery services that meet deadlines with care. 

We live together. Now what?

A common hurdle that faces many a modern couple. If the two of you share a home, and if you’re looking to surprise her, and, since the COVID lockdown means, there’s little chance for her to go out without you, getting that engagement ring safely and secretly delivered will prove to be a task. Besides the option to arrange a timed delivery: say a time of the day or night when your partner is resting, innovative jewellers who value customer satisfaction above all else, come with a few tricks up their sleeve. Here are a number of delivery options that will ensure that the surprise element is maintained:

• We deliver to the local post office. Of course, the COVID restrictions mean that this too maybe is affected. However, as restrictions loosen up, with essential services like mail and food, largely uninterrupted, a quick drive or walk to the local post office to collect your precious engagement ring may be the best way to maintain the secrecy. Parcel collective service, just like the old days. Only this time it is for your precious engagement ring. Oh, just be sure to take all precautions when treading outside.

• Deliver to a friend or family (who can keep a secret). All we need is an address. Once the purchase is made, we can have your engagement ring delivered to the home of your trusted kin. If it helps, some of them may be living closer to you, than a post office. Which may help with that longer, riskier trip to the post office.

• Secret delivery. Hello, we’re delivering drinks and pizza! Well, actually it is an engagement ring that is placed in a secret box, that you, the receiver will carefully take out. Of course, we will call and talk to you in advance about the planned “delivery”. Just be sure that the jeweller who is able to promise a secret delivery of a precious engagement ring, has already provided a great pre-purchase service. This takes us to the all-important aspect of engagement ring delivery. Customer service.

Customer Service

Every purchasing decision by a potential buyer comes down to the quality and effectiveness of the customer service. A point which is especially important when face-to-face engagement between the jeweller and you, the person looking for a quality engagement ring is not possible. A ring that is well designed to specifications, that fits the finger of the intended party, with metal and precious stones that meets the highest industry standards: From GIA standard for diamonds to other factors that are used to determine the quality of various other precious stones. Natural or lab-grown. Thus before making the choice, and then proceeding to the stage of ordering the ring, you must consider the process of selecting the right engagement ring for you. Here are a few factors to consider:

• Chat support: An essential part of online businesses. And a must-have for any jewellery who wishes to be taken seriously. Since what you see is not always what you get, the ability to have basic questions about your potential purchase answered quickly and clearly is essential.

• Do Chats lead to communication with real people? Chatbots are only the beginning. As human beings, at the end of the day, we like talking to other human beings. Better the online experience, the more likely it will the Chat will get you in touch with a real person. Usually, it is someone from the customer service department.

• Online meetings: This is a more recent innovation. With the rise of video conferencing, conference calls, and video communication tools, this is another key feature of jewellery companies that provide a quality customer experience. If chatting on the phone is not enough, and what is needed is visual engagement, being able to book a video appointment with one of the jewellery store’s experts, to get all the details first-hand is key (book an appointment).

You got your Ring... Now What?

Well, be glad for starters. Once you have surprised her with your proposal (and hopefully she accepted)… But there’s a problem. The ring size does not fit her finer perfectly. There is something not right about the engagement ring, that you wished to be changed. What happens now? No fear. Good jewellers come with solid after-sale services: including pickup and delivery to your home. Services range from resizing, and repair, to new customization. Pay attention to the terms and conditions, and ask a lot of questions beforehand. Don’t let the pandemic keep you down. If you want an engagement ring: Go for it!
