The Process of Getting Engaged with Gage

We understand that the process of buying an engagement ring is very daunting and you often don’t even know where to start! Getting engaged with Gage is simple, and our top priority is to ensure the ring making process goes smoothly and to your satisfaction. Whether you’re looking to buy a ring for your partner, or just want to know more about Gage, we made a step by step process of the planning, designing, and shipping processes of getting engaged with Gage! 

Firstly, book an appointment with one of our Luxury Sales Consultants. Located on our website, head to BOOK NOW, fill out the form and we will see you soon! With virtual and in-person options, and a stacked team of intelligent, personable and professional diamond specialists who are dedicated to making sure all your ring dreams come true, by booking the appointment you are one step closer to becoming a fiancé. 

During your appointment, you’ll work one-on-one with a consultant to explore your preferences—what you love, what you don’t, and your non-negotiables. You’ll have the chance to browse a wide variety of settings by style and compare up to three center stones based on the shapes you're considering. Supporting local is deeply important to us, which is why we partner exclusively with jewelers based right here in Chicago. This ensures your piece is crafted in a timely manner, and any future repairs or adjustments are quick and convenient. Even if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for in our store, we have access to an extensive global diamond network and are committed to finding the perfect combination of cut, color, clarity, and carat to match your vision.

After your appointment is over, your consultant will send you an email going over everything you discussed including the ring details itself, the timeline, and budget to double check everything is up to your standard! If you’re making 1 customization or 10, everything is custom made to order, meaning we can tweak or change anything about the setting, band, and diamond to exactly how you want it. 

Payments can be made in store, during or after appointments, or online through our website. We offer financing options with LendFirm and finance consultants to help you ease the anxiety of such a big purchase. 

From the options your consultant has sent, we can offer a 360 computer-aided design of the ring giving you an exact visual of the ring from every angle! With a $250 deposit that goes toward the payment of the ring, seeing the ring before it is finished often gives clients a lot of peace of mind and confidence in their decision. After you have decided exactly what you want, our consultants immediately process and send the order to our jewelers who begin the craftsmanship. We give our jewelers 20-25 business days to complete the ring– so keep that in mind when beginning the process! 

Once we receive the ring in the store, we will ensure everything is correct to order and exactly what you want! We will let you know that the ring is ready for pickup and you have the option to then make an appointment to pick it up or get it shipped directly to you. We also offer insured 2-day complimentary shipping via FEDEX on all orders, even for those local to Chicago!
