How Long Does It Take to Get an Engagement Ring?
Planning a proposal? Here's how much lead time to give yourself.
One of the most practical proposal questions: how far ahead should you order the ring? The answer depends on whether it's ready-made or made to order. Here's a clear guide.
Ready-to-ship rings
In-stock designs ship the fastest — often within standard delivery times. If your proposal is soon, look for ready-to-ship pieces and confirm the size is available.
Made-to-order & handcrafted
Handcrafted rings are created for you, so allow extra time for crafting plus shipping. It's worth the wait for a piece made just for you — just plan ahead.
Build in a buffer
Always add a little cushion for sizing, delivery, and peace of mind — especially around busy seasons like the holidays. See Proposing in Winter.
