# HerDreamRing

> Private ring shopping for couples. Her side: browse real engagement ring designs and answer Love, Like or No. His side: those favorites ranked with reasons, then prices, close matches and a spec sheet for a jeweler. The surprise stays intact.

HerDreamRing is a private ring-shopping tool for couples. She browses engagement ring designs in every major style, adjusts the ones she loves (over 10 million possible rings) and answers Love, Like or No on each, with a reason. He sees what she loves, ranked, and turns it into a spec sheet, sourced price ranges and a brief for a bench jeweler. She can see the ring on a 3D model of her own hand. Couples' answers, hand photos and searches are private; only the pages below are public. It does not sell rings, and it is not a substitute for couples talking about engagement and marriage: it helps narrow endless options to a short list so the buyer can shop with confidence, in a jeweler’s vocabulary, with realistic price ranges.

## Start here
- [How it works](https://herdreamring.com/how-it-works): the two private spaces, what each partner sees, and an example brief.

- [Browse all rings](https://herdreamring.com/rings): every design, grouped by style.

## Ring styles
- [Classic solitaire](https://herdreamring.com/rings/solitaire): One stone on a plain band. The shape of the stone and the prongs do all the talking.
- [Cathedral and hidden halo](https://herdreamring.com/rings/cathedral): Still a single stone from above, but lifted on arches, or hiding a ring of small diamonds you only see from the side.
- [Halo](https://herdreamring.com/rings/halo): A frame of small diamonds right around the center stone. It reads bigger and brighter from across the room.
- [Three-stone and side stones](https://herdreamring.com/rings/three-stone): A stone either side of the center, set close so the three read as one piece.
- [Bezel and modern](https://herdreamring.com/rings/bezel): A smooth rim of metal instead of prongs. Low, clean, and nothing to catch on sweaters.
- [Split and bypass bands](https://herdreamring.com/rings/bands): Here the band is the design: it splits in two, dips into a V, wraps past the stone, or doubles up.
- [Toi et moi](https://herdreamring.com/rings/toi-et-moi): Two stones side by side, often two different shapes. “You and me.”
- [Vintage and Art Deco](https://herdreamring.com/rings/vintage): Beaded milgrain edges, step cuts, arches and warm gold. Rings that feel inherited.
- [Unique and sculptural](https://herdreamring.com/rings/unique): Rings from independent makers that break the usual rules: hair-fine claws, tilted stones, melted gold and gardens of color.
