Try Before You Buy Engagement Rings

Sample Engagement Rings - Loan Service - Try Before You Buy


Learn more about our sample ring loan service in our short video below. Here we explain how it works and we answer some common questions about the service. 

At Serendipity Diamonds, we offer various ways to try before you buy an Engagement Ring. The following selection of services enables you to make a perfect choice. Get a better idea of your chosen Engagement Ring design before you make a final decision. 


Many of our Diamond Engagement Ring designs are available as Silver / CZ replica rings for you to try in the comfort of your own home. We charge a fully refundable deposit of £150 for loaning any available ring designs from our sample range. 


In addition, we charge £12.00 to post ring samples by Royal Mail Special Delivery. 


We will refund the postage charge for any subsequent order placed after returning the sample ring(s)


Contact us with your design choice (name or product code), and we will confirm the availability of your chosen sample ring. If the Engagement Ring design is available, we will request your address details to create an invoice before sending out the loan ring for you to inspect. The deposit will be refunded upon the return of our sample ring or deducted from the price of the final Engagement Ring order. 


Please note that sample rings are not for sale and are sent on the condition they are returned with no obligation to place a final order.

Wax Engagement Ring Moulds


We provide most of our ring designs as wax moulds. This is an inexpensive way of viewing a life-sized version of your chosen jewellery design. We charge £25 for wax samples and fully refund this amount against any order, or upon the return of a wax model. We use a hard plastic-wax resin which can typically be sent within 1-3 days. This method is ideal where your chosen design is unavailable as a Silver sample ring. 


For most of our round solitaire ring designs, we also provide a diamond-lookalike stone in the size of your choice. As a result, buyers see the ring design and the stone size before committing to their purchase. This wax ring kit costs £30.00, refundable against your purchase. Please contact us for more help on specific designs.
