Diamond Hedge's Jewelry Try-On App Previews Rings in Augmented Reality

— February 16, 2018 — Tech
Diamond Hedge, an online platform that aims to bring transparency, education and convenience to the process of purchasing an engagement ring, launched a jewelry try-on app that makes it possible for customers to virtually wear various diamond rings.

With the Diamond Hedge Live AR app on iOS, users are able to effortlessly search and try on rings of all different shapes, styles and sizes. Once an app user has settled on the perfect pick, they are also able to make a purchase through the app. As Diamond Hedge has a large inventory of over a million diamonds from some of the industry's leading retailers, users have the unique oppotunity to make the most of the app by comparing the price of rings before making an informed purchase.
