VRAI offers both virtual and in-person appointments to suit your needs. For virtual appointments, you can connect with a diamond expert from the comfort of your home, where they will guide you through our collections, customization options, and answer any questions you may have. In-person appointments take place in showrooms, where you can view and try on designs, discuss personalized designs, measure for ring size, and more.

You do not need an appointment; walk-ins are welcome. However, we recommend scheduling an appointment for the best experience. Appointments ensure that a dedicated diamond expert is available to provide personalized guidance, answer any questions, and assist with custom designs or specific requests.

A wide selection of engagement rings and wedding bands are available to view or try on. A curated collection of fine jewelry can also be viewed or purchased. Reach out ahead of your visit to ensure availability.
