Try on an engagement ring virtually
See your dream ring on your own hand. No app, no jeweller—right in your browser.
You've found the perfect engagement ring, but one question remains: How will it look on my hand? This is exactly the problem faced by thousands of couples who want to buy their ring online but aren't sure if the size, proportions, and style will really be a good fit. The solution is simpler than you think.
In a nutshell
At Velur, you can virtually try on any engagement ring on your own hand right in your browser. Tangiblee’s AR technology automatically recognizes your hand via the camera and places the ring on your finger to scale. No app, no download, and no trip to the jeweller required. Velur is the only German jewellery brand that offers this technology.
Why More and More Couples Are Buying Engagement Rings Online
Buying an engagement ring is one of the most emotional purchasing decisions a person can make. Nevertheless, buying behavior has changed fundamentally in recent years. According to a study by The Knot, two-thirds of all couples now research their engagement rings online first before making a decision. And more and more are buying them online as well.
The reasons are obvious: Online stores offer a much wider selection than any local jeweller, prices are more transparent, and you can compare options at your leisure without anyone looking over your shoulder. Especially when it comes to a purchase as personal as an engagement ring, many men want to make their decision at their own pace.
But one hurdle remains: How will the ring look on my hand? It’s precisely this question that has kept many people from taking the final step to buy online—until now. With the virtual try-on feature, you can see how any ring looks on your own hand before you order.
“The biggest barrier to buying jewellery online isn’t trust in the quality, but uncertainty about how the piece will look on you. Virtual try-on solves exactly this problem.”

Here's How Virtual Try-On Works at Velur
Velur uses AR technology from Tangiblee, a leading provider of virtual try-on solutions for the jewellery and watch industry. The technology is integrated directly into each product page and works entirely within the browser. No app download, no installation, no registration.
The technology behind this is augmented reality (AR), which uses your smartphone camera or webcam to recognize your hand in real time. The software analyzes the proportions of your fingers and places the selected ring on your finger to scale. The result is amazingly realistic: You can see not only the shape and style of the ring, but also how the stone looks in relation to your hand.
Technology in Detail
Tangiblee uses markerless AR. That means you don’t need a QR code, a special background, or a reference object. The camera automatically detects your hand, takes three photos, and uses them to create a realistic image of the ring on your finger. The entire process takes just seconds.
What makes it special: The technology uses Velur's existing product photos. No complex 3D models or special renderings are required. Every ring you see in the shop can be tried on virtually right away.
Step by Step: How to Try On Your Dream Ring
Velur's virtual try-on feature is intentionally kept simple. In less than 30 seconds, you'll see the ring on your hand. Here's how it works:
Choose your ring
Open any product page in the engagement ring collection. Every ring at Velur supports virtual try-on. First, select your preferred gold colour, karat, and stone.
Click "Try On"
In the upper-left corner of the product image , you'll find the "Try On" button . Clicking it will start the AR try-on. Your browser will ask you once for permission to use the camera.
Hold your hand in front of the camera
A visual guide shows you where to place your hand. Just hold it in front of the camera, and the software will automatically take three photos as soon as your hand is in the right position. You don't need to press a shutter button.
Look at the ring on your hand
In just a few seconds, you'll see a realistic rendering of the ring on your finger. You can zoom in and out and even move the ring from finger to finger to try out different ways of wearing it.
Share the result
Happy with how it looks? You can send your try-on photo to friends, family, or your partner via a link or text message. The recipient will see the ring on your hand and can even buy it right away using the shared link. It’s the perfect way to get a second opinion.
Try on several rings in a row to compare different styles. Does an oval stone look better on your hand than a round one? With the virtual try-on feature, you can find out in minutes. Not sure? Send us a screenshot via WhatsApp and we’ll give you personalised advice.
What Makes Velur's Virtual Try-On Special
Virtual try-ons are available from some international luxury brands, such as Cartier and Chanel. But in German-speaking countries, Velur is the pioneer. Velur is the only German jewellery brand to offer an AR-based ring try-on directly on the product page. This is no coincidence—it’s part of the brand’s philosophy: buying jewellery online should feel just as secure as buying it in a store, only without the markup.

Ring Stacking: Viewing Multiple Rings at Once
One special feature of Tangiblee technology is ring stacking. You can try on multiple rings at the same time on different fingers. This is especially handy if you want to pair an engagement ring with a future wedding band or a memory ring. That way, you can immediately see how the overall look comes together on your hand.
Sharing: Get a second opinion
The sharing feature is a real highlight for anyone who’s unsure. You can share your try-on photo via a link. The recipient opens the link, sees the ring on your hand, and can even order it right away. It’s perfect if you want to show the ring to your best friend or sister before you make a decision.
Perfect for you if...
...you want to choose your engagement ring at your own pace, without feeling pressured at the jewellery store. Or if you're secretly looking for a ring for your partner and want to see how it looks on her hand. The virtual try-on gives you the confidence you need.
5 Reasons Why Buying a Ring Online Is Safer Than You Think
Many people are still hesitant to buy an engagement ring online. That’s understandable. But the reality is different than you might think. Here are five reasons why buying from Velur is safer than buying from the jeweller down the street:
Virtual Try-On Instead of Buying Blind
You can see the ring on your own hand before you order. No surprises, no disappointments. AR technology shows you realistic proportions and how the stone looks.
180 days of free resizing
The ring size isn't quite right? No problem. Velur offers 180 days of free resizing by its in-house goldsmiths. That's longer than the warranty period offered by most jewellers.
60-Day Return Policy
Don't like the ring? You have 60 days to return it—no questions asked. You usually don't have this right at a local jewellery store.
Certified Stones, Transparent Origin
Every stone at Velur comes with a GRA or IGI certificate. You know exactly what you're getting. Many jewellers lack this transparency, or the certificates cost extra.
Personal Consultation via WhatsApp
You're never alone. The Velur team is here to offer personalised advice via WhatsApp, seven days a week. Send a photo, ask a question, or get a recommendation. Response time: usually less than an hour, even on weekends.
