New app turns iPhone into virtual jewelry store
The iPhone is continuously becoming the go-to device for useful applications. Their latest one takes a dip into the engagement ring market. Live Diamond Try-On, a free application produced by Stuller Diamonds and Gemvision Corp., lets you create and try on engagement rings right from your phone.
The “try-on” feature lets you take a picture of your hand. The image of the created ring is then superimposed over your hand to give the appearance of actually wearing it. You can then send the image to friends, family or as a not-so-subtle hint to your potential fiance.
There’s unfortunately no iPhone in the office, or we would have gladly took it out for a test drive. But I guess you’ll just have to download it and try it out for yourself. If you create something you like, check out our friends at Denatale Jewelers who sell the Red Box Diamonds featured in the app.
Love,
Engagement 101

Usually the jewelry industry is slow to embrace such cutting-edge technology, so this really is a surprise. It will be interesting to see what other companies follow Stuller into this territory, whether it be for wedding bands, engagement rings, fashion jewelry or even wedding dresses.
I would like to be a featured designer on this app – any ideas how to?
Thanks
The app is produced by Stulluer Diamonds, so I don’t think they’ll feature other designers.
