Finding that perfect engagement ring is a time-consuming process. But even after you’ve secured the ideal stone and planned the perfect proposal, there’s still some more work to do.
The right engagement ring box can be the icing on the cake; providing an ideal backdrop for your ring and keeping it safe and secure until the big moment arrives.
In this post, we look at where to buy great engagement ring boxes in Australia, some ring box design ideas, and other things to consider while shopping for your own.
Whether it’s a small online store, a big-name retailer or a locally-made custom piece, there are so many places to find incredible engagement ring boxes. Here are some of the most popular.
Etsy is one of the biggest online marketplaces allowing independent craftspeople to sell their creations to a global audience. It’s a treasure trove of bespoke goods and is an excellent place to start your engagement ring box shopping. Here are some of our favourite engagement ring box designs currently on sale on Etsy.
These items never last long, so be sure to check back regularly until you find that perfect piece.
‘The Mountain’ Ring Box by TheNorthernForest
This sleek and modern walnut engagement ring box has a unique edge without losing any sophistication. Its slim design means it can be easily concealed before the big moment.
Vintage Tiffany & Co. Silver Ring Box
If your partner is a lover of all things vintage, this original Tiffany & Co. sterling silver engagement ring box will strike a chord. The engraved piece is lined with retro blue velvet, and would match perfectly with a classic round solitaire with Tiffany claw setting.
Wooden Sliding Ring Box
Etsy is the ideal hunting ground for charming rustic creations like this unique sliding ring box. The understated design and subdued natural colours will emphasise the sparkle of your diamond and leave a great first impression.
Unique custom ring boxes aren’t only found on Etsy. Small online retailers like Woodsbury create stunning understated boxes, using fine natural timbers with a sleek and timeless design. We love their handcrafted Walnut engagement ring box, which can also be engraved for a small fee.
For more traditional box designs, online retailers like Amonié offer fine velvet and leather pieces, which are easily personalised.
The ring box is often seen as an opportunity to be a little more personal, a little more adventurous and a little more playful than you would be with the engagement ring itself. It’s a chance to pluck the heartstrings by referencing a past experience (like a first date), or an inside joke.
Do-it-yourself engagement ring boxes are a great way to achieve this ultra-personal experience. If you fancy yourself handy with the saw, you may even try creating your own wooden box like this one:
Other ring boxes can be more creative, such as a tennis ball for the tennis enthusiast or even an avocado for the keen chef. The sky’s the limit when it comes to the proposal, so don’t be afraid to be adventurous, creative and personal.
If you’ve made it this far through this post, it’s pretty clear that you’re committed to delighting your significant other with something they’ll cherish forever. But unfortunately, engagement rings can be damaged, stolen and lost just like anything else.
