MemberHey guys, the ring is on order, making final plans on the where but wondering if I should be overthinking the ring box?
I think the look is pretty cool but will it just sit in a drawer?
Any pics of your ring box if unique would be appreciated!
MemberI don’t even remember what the ring box looked like and I have no idea where it is now. When I take my ring off (at nighttime and when I shower) I put it on a trinket dish on my bedside table. So personally I don’t think it’s necessary to overthink the box. I’m sure many others will disagree with me though.
MemberMy fiance had a really cool ring box from etsy (it was flat and the ring spun out of it when opened), but yes, it does just sit in the drawer now. I thought it was really cool when I saw it but then literally did not think of it again. I don’t think you need to buy anything special.
MemberI have the James Allen box my ring came in. I didn’t think I was sentimentality attached to it, until I thought I left it at a hotel. It was the box he used to propose.
I’m buying a travel box, so I don’t lose the original.
I guess it depends on the person.
MemberNot sure that it is exactly unique but I used a few different boxes. Including the one it came in. And also this one. It’s my favourite. If you want to know the maker I can absolutely tell you or anyone else who asks 🙂
MemberMy ring came in a nifty little box that had a little light in it that turned when you opened it and really made the ring pop.
It was pretty cool but I couldn’t tell you where it is now. If you like the box and think she will like it then there’s no harm but I think it will just sit in a drawer after.
MemberSince I never take my rings off, the box definately just sit in the drawer. I do keep it just in case I need to remove them.

MemberMy husband proposed with the simple black velvet box the ring came in. The ring has only been back in the box a handful of times since we got married 2.5 years ago. While a cute box might be fun, realistically I think it’s unnecessary to spend $50-100 for a ring box that’ll barely be used. If your fiance really “needs” one for pictures or what not, you can order one then. I’d guess most women don’t care.
MemberI didn’t think any thing of the box at first, but since I’m ordering from China I started to look into them because I didn’t want just the generic box it came in. And now I am really excited about a special ring box that means a lot to both of us. One of our favorite movies is “Up”, and I found a few ring boxes inspired by the movie so I showed my FH, and he loved the idea too! If it’s something special to you I think you’ll be more inclined to make more use of it for that reason. Also, both of those boxes are beautiful!! I really wanted one like the first picture until I found the other ones!
MemberOur boxes (we had two with different designs for his ring and for mine) had our wedding date and initials printed in the lid.
I take it along with me when I travel or don’t want to wear my ring.
Plus, it’s an excuse to have our wedding date printed in gold somewhere. 😉
MemberI just ordered ours for the wedding yesterday.
The text will say something different –
if you love it, and it’s in your budget, why not 🙃
But I love ring boxes, and that vintage one is to die for ❤️
MemberMy ring is from Brilliant Earth and came in a super lightweight, wooden box. I love it! I keep it on my nightstand and put my ring in it at night (sometimes, althought I don’t really like to take it off!) I would definitely not recommend overthinking the box! But, putting a little bit of effort into it will unlikely to be for not. Yes, it will likely get put in a drawer or out of sight eventually, but maybe not! And the sentimentality of it will be nice. Don’t spend a crazy amount by any means!
I purchased a beautiful wooden, monogrammed box with velvet interior on Etsy for my sister in law- it was (IMO) reasonably priced for such an item and great quality. If you’re interested in having her new monogram on a box, let me know and I’ll share the shop name!
MemberI actually didn’t like the box that my engagement ring came in and was a bit disapointed at first but now it just sits in a drawer. When I take my ring off I keep it in a small dish and don’t even think about the box. I have another jewellery box I’m going to use for our wedding photos, one that I got with a different piece of jewellery. If a ring box is something you want for photos or a keepsake then go for, if not you won’t even miss it. By the way the boxes you posted are super cute!
MemberI think the box is a great proposal addition if you know it’s something your partner likes.
I don’t have the original box my ring came in, I use my grandmothers antique jewlery box the most and a few smaller boxes that I’ve picked up over the years (kimono coin zipper pouch from Etsy, snap box from another compartment jewlery box, grey velvet box from a previous jewlery purchase and a vintage swan ring holder)
