Vrai & Oro is an e-retailer offering a premium engagement ring selection that is also budget-conscious. The Millennial-friendly engagement ring marketplace recently launched its design studio feature which makes the process of creating a personalized ring easier than ever before.
The online design studio invites shoppers to pick and choose their ideal engagement ring style and design and utilises a popular customization software made famous by brands like Nike and Adidas -- used to create personalized shoe designs that are then shipped right to shoppers' door.
Taking under two weeks to make and ship, Vrai & Oro's rings can be viewed through a virtual, 3D model after they are designed. "To ensure the ring is made to shoppers' exact specifications, once it's designed online, it's converted into an individual CAD file which is then 3-D printed to create the mold of the ring; the mold is then cast in gold or platinum, polished, and the diamond is set."
