What are travel rings? An inexpensive ‘stand in,’ for your engagement/wedding ring set to wear while traveling. Although many women wear them while pregnant, working out, on the water, or when you want to switch it up!

Popular Brands: Everly Rings, Objkts, Modern Gents, East West Gem Co.

Why those brands aren’t my preferred choice: High shipping fees, cost, and poor quality. The cost of their travel rings are around $90-$120 on average with some like Modern Gents running a bit higher for the engagement rings alone. Often times when you needed to return an item, you had to pay for the return shipping fees. 

Top Picks (in no particular order): Number one, Lemongrass 3.5 Oval Solitaire Engagement Band

Why did I buy this ring? One review included a photo showing the travel ring worn beneath their real ring, and at first, I thought the travel ring was the authentic one! It has a subtle yellow gold tone and a stone with exceptional clarity. The ring sits low, making it unlikely to snag on anything. Priced at just $23 with free returns on Amazon, it offers excellent value—especially compared to the Objkts Deus Ring, which costs $109.

Top Pick Number Two: Pavoi Oval Engagement Ring, Hidden Halo 2.5CT

Why I purchased this ring: The brand as a whole had great reviews, has a cool toned yellow gold, and it looked almost identical to the Objkts Orea ring. Pavoi is $14.95 compare to Objkts at $112 (which also charges you for shipping should you need to exchange or return your item)

Top Pick Number Three: 3.5 Carat Elongated Oval Cut Engagement Ring

Why did I buy this ring? The reviews were glowing, and one buyer even directly compared this ring to one of Everly’s, either the Blakey or Milly. The side by side images show a clear winner, and based on this review and on the many Reddit and Trust Pilot reviews, Everly Rings don’t seem to have the quality you would expect for $99. This ring is $65.
