General Questions

What is RingBuddy?

RingBuddy is a mobile app that helps couples find the perfect engagement ring together. It uses a Tinder-like swipe interface to let you browse rings, discover your style preferences, and share what you love with your partner—all while maintaining the element of surprise.

How does RingBuddy work?

Here's how it works:

  1. Choose your mode (looking to purchase or receive a ring)
  2. Swipe through our curated collection of engagement rings
  3. Like rings that match your style, pass on ones that don't
  4. Invite your partner to connect via a share code
  5. Partners can view your liked rings and pinned favorites
Is RingBuddy free?

Yes! RingBuddy is currently free to download and use. We want to help as many couples as possible find their perfect ring without any barriers.

What platforms is RingBuddy available on?

RingBuddy is available on both iOS and Android. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Privacy & Security

Is my data private and secure?

Absolutely. Your privacy is our top priority. We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data. We don't sell your personal information, and we only share what's necessary with our trusted service providers (such as our database and form processing services). Your ring preferences and partner connections are kept completely private. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Will my partner see all my activity?

Your partner will only see the rings you've liked—not the ones you've passed on. This helps them understand your preferences while keeping the element of surprise intact.

Can I use RingBuddy anonymously?

You can browse rings and discover your preferences without creating an account. However, to connect with your partner and share preferences, you'll need to create a basic profile.

Features

How does the partner view work?

Once connected, the purchaser can see all the rings their partner has liked and their pinned favorites — updated every time they swipe. It's their real preferences, not a wishlist they made up, so you can shop knowing exactly what they love.

Can I save or favorite specific rings?

Yes! When you swipe right (like) a ring, it's automatically saved to your collection. You can view all your liked rings anytime from your profile.

What if I change my mind about a ring?

No problem! You can unlike any ring from your collection at any time. Your preferences are always in your control.

How many rings are in your collection?

We have a curated collection of hundreds of engagement rings across various styles, price points, and preferences. We're constantly adding new rings to give you more options.

Purchasing

Can I buy rings directly through RingBuddy?

Currently, RingBuddy is a discovery and preference-sharing tool. We provide information about where to purchase rings you love, but the actual purchase happens through our partner jewelers. Disclosure: RingBuddy may earn a commission when you purchase through a partner link, at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Do you work with specific jewelers?

We partner with trusted jewelers to bring you a diverse collection of rings. Each ring listing includes information about the jeweler and how to make a purchase. RingBuddy may earn a commission on purchases made through these links — see our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
