A while back I told you guys about Ocappi, a jewelry company that lets you pick six engagement rings and then sends you CZ replicas so you can "try before you buy." I'm not currently in the market for an engagement ring, but I still had them send me six rings. And look how pretty they are!
Left to right, bottom to top: Victoria, $13,300. Regale, $13,000. Celeste, $11,950. Heritage, $11,275. Solitaire, $9,950. Alda, $12,375. (All of my samples have 2-carat center stones, except the Heritage, which is 1 carat.)
It's pretty much THE easiest way to get a great idea of what you like—and what you don't like—without you or your guy having to deal with a salesperson laying on the pressure. And it's free, as long as you send back the samples. (They pay for shipping both ways.)
If your guy was feeling wishy-washy about what style to pick, it might be fun if he proposed with the six samples and let you pick! Although I don't think I could deal with that pressure.
Which of these rings is your favorite? Would you want to help your guy pick your engagement ring?
I literally can't tell the CZs from a diamond, which is a little sad for Rory, who I'm assuming sprung for the real deal.
P.S. You might also remember Ocappi because the company designed Kate Bosworth's wedding rings.
