It’s a little known fact that over 70% of all engagements take place over the holidays. Since ’tis the season, I thought I’d introduce some engagement-appropriate tech that you might find helpful or at least interesting to play with.
Anyone who’s followed my posts knows that I’m a big iPhone fan, and here’s another wedding app I came across that I think is worth sharing. It’s called “Live Diamond Try-On”, by diamond distributor Red Box Diamonds. The idea is to let you browse various diamond types, sizes, setting styles, and bands…then (here’s the kicker) “try it on” your own hand virtually.
After you use your phone to take a snapshot of your hand, the app lets you align an image of each ring and setting to your finger to see how it looks “on” you. A little gimicky, maybe…you make the call. Once you’ve found your match, you can search for local jewelry retailers who carry your selected combination(s). All this from the convenience of your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Selecting a diamond and setting, then "trying it on", with Red Box Diamonds' "Live Diamond Try-On" iPhone App
For a demo video and to download the app for free, check out the app’s website at app.redboxdiamonds.com. Just be warned: the narrative of the demo video is a little…let’s just say….”overly-enthusiastic.” You’ll see what I mean.
Have a great weekend everyone!

About Jason
If you are going to buy a diamond wedding band, keep in mind that platinum really is the premium metal for wedding bands and engagement rings. Platinum is strong and durable, so a diamond set in platinum is secure. It really is a great way to protect your diamond investment. Platinum is the metal that will last a lifetime. If the price of platinum is an issue, then research palladium. Palladium is a better choice over white gold (which is not naturally white and will turn yellow over time), and is much more affordable.
