Buying an Engagement Ring in Lebanon from Abroad: A Guide for the Diaspora

For many Lebanese families, the engagement ring is a piece of home. Whether you live in Paris, Dubai, Montreal or Sydney, it is natural to want the ring that marks your promise to come from Lebanon, made by hands that understand what it means. Distance no longer has to stand in the way. This guide explains, step by step, how to choose, size, order and receive an engagement ring from Lebanon while you are abroad.

Why buy your engagement ring from Lebanon

Lebanon has a long tradition of fine jewellery, and buying from home keeps that tradition close. At Vucceli, every ring is made to order in our own workshop in Lebanon, in solid 18K gold hallmarked 750. Proudly Crafted in Lebanon, each piece carries a little of the country with it, wherever it ends up being worn. For couples in the diaspora, that often matters as much as the diamond itself. You can read more about who we are in our story.

Our centre stones are lab grown diamonds: real diamonds, chemically and physically the same as mined ones, grown in a laboratory rather than taken from the ground. Each centre diamond is colour E, clarity VVS2, excellent cut, with no fluorescence, so you know exactly what you are choosing before you ever see it in person. It is one of the reasons lab grown diamonds in Lebanon have become such a natural choice for couples living far from home.

Step 1: Choose the shape, size and gold

Start with the three choices that define the ring. Our engagement rings come with round, oval or pear diamonds, in centre sizes of about 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 carats, set in yellow, white or rose gold. You can browse the full engagement rings collection, or go straight to the round, oval or pear designs.

• Round: the most brilliant and timeless choice.
• Oval: elegant, and it tends to look larger for its carat weight.
• Pear: romantic and a little unexpected.

If you already have a design in mind, our custom-made engagement ring service lets you shape it from the start, and we can work through every detail with you from wherever you are.

Step 2: Get the ring size right from a distance

Ring size is the detail that worries people most when they order from abroad. Our rings are made in EU sizes 47 to 57. If you can, borrow a ring she already wears on the right finger and have it measured by a local jeweller. If you only know her US size, tell us and we will help you find the EU equivalent.

If the fit is not quite perfect, one free resize within two sizes is included. Our guide on finding her ring size secretly has more ideas if the proposal is a surprise.

Step 3: Order and let us make it

Once you have chosen, we confirm every detail with you: shape, carat, gold colour, size and any personal touches. Your ring is then made to order in our workshop and is ready within 30 working days. Because it is made for you rather than taken from a shelf, plan your timing around the proposal date and leave room for delivery.

Every centre diamond of 0.5 carat and above comes with its IGI certificate, so your IGI certified lab grown diamond arrives with independent documentation of its quality. The accent stones are lab grown D/E diamonds of VVS to VS clarity.

Step 4: Delivery wherever you are

Every shipment is fully insured. Some families prefer the ring to go to relatives in Lebanon, to be carried by hand on the next summer visit, while others collect it from our showroom when they are home. Whatever suits your plans, we will arrange it with you.

Good to know before you order

• Returns are accepted only for a manufacturing defect or a wrong item, reported within 3 days of receiving it.
• There is no cash refund for a change of mind, so take your time choosing.
• Within one year, an unworn piece can be exchanged towards a higher-value piece at 70% of the price paid, once per purchase.
• White gold is rhodium plated for a bright white finish.
