There's nothing more exciting than reaching that pivotal stage in a relationship where you're starting to talk about marriage and getting ready to put a ring on it. Fortunately for Texans, the options are aplenty when it comes to the best places to shop for engagement rings in Dallas, from big names like Brilliant Earth and Diamonds Direct to small, indie boutiques with cult followings and the coolest, most unique custom rings.
Whether you're on the hunt for a classic diamond rock, searching for something a little more economical, ethical, and lab-grown, or are 100% set on designing your own, we've done the research and read all the reviews to discover the best engagement ring stores in Dallas for every budget and style.
For Something Unique: Staghead Designs
This is the best place to buy an engagement ring in Dallas if you're looking for something unique, ethically-sourced, and completely handcrafted. For inspiration, you can browse the many collections of customizable ring designs on their website or work directly with the knowledgeable team at Staghead to design your very own bespoke engagement ring.
While there's something for everyone and every style here, what Staghead does best is "different". Think alternative gemstones, like moss agate, salt and pepper diamonds, moonstone, and lab-created alexandrite, as well as cool, unconventional materials like moss, elk antler, whiskey barrel oak, guitar string, gold nuggets, and even special/meaningful materials you send in yourself. Bonus: they have an epic selection of non-traditional wedding rings for your partner too.

Notable Review: "Gorgeous custom-made rings! For those who crave for more of a 'one of a kind' type of jewelry (especially to mark your big day), this is definitely the company you are looking for. Diamonds are classic and classy but the gemstones Staghead offers will have you throwing out the idea of a traditional diamond ring." - Brittany C.
For The Biggest Variety: Diamonds Direct
If you want ALL the options and excellent customer service and prices to go along with it, head over to the Diamonds Direct showroom in Dallas to try on rings and discover which diamond shape, size, and style flatters your finger best (as well as the setting). The big selling point here, in our opinion, is the plethora of options, which is especially great if you have no idea what you want yet but are ready to browse.
Other things to love about buying a ring from Diamonds Direct are the lifetime warranty, which covers all cleaning and tightening services as well as loss of accent diamonds, and a 110% lifetime upgrade, allowing customers to trade in their original diamond for a new one and only pay the difference. Let's face it, five or ten years down the road your style will have probably changed.

Notable Review: "Jackie Jones at Diamonds Direct is the real gem! I had a fairytale experience finding my ring with Jackie. She listened to our budget and found me the BIGGEST BANG for the buck! I never imagined I could have a ring so beautiful. Please go here, the store is lovely and the employees are thoughtful. Classy without being pretentious. Ideal experience." - Anna L.
For The Coolest, Quality Custom Rings: Vivian Grace Jewelry
For custom engagement rings in Dallas, Vivian Grace is the place. One look at all the jewelry on their website and you'll realize you're in for a treat. Everything is so eclectic, cool, and truly designed with love. While you won't find any ready-made engagement rings here, you can contact the owner Tricia, and her team to design your own custom ring using either certified, naturally-sourced diamonds or lab-grown.
Reviewers have nothing but amazing things to say about their experience with Vivian Grace. The customer service is unmatched, and Tricia herself is incredibly knowledgeable, taking your vision (and in many cases, helping you shape it) and designing a dream ring that will exceed even your own high expectations. The prices are fair too, and Tricia will communicate with you every step of the way so you're always in the loop.

Notable Review: "Tricia was amazing throughout the entire process! While planning an engagement ring, she walked me through all the choices and worked until we had designed the PERFECT ring! I thought working through options over the phone and via pictures would be way harder, but she made the process easy and simple and the ring was even more beautiful than expected once it arrived in person! 10/10 would recommend anyone to work with her!!" - Logan B.
For The Best Service: Lauren Belle Jewelry
For the best engagement rings in Dallas and the absolute best service, Lauren Belle is by far our top choice. Designing (or buying) the perfect engagement ring is such a personal process and unless you're a true expert in diamonds or gemstones, someone to educate and guide you along the way is a must.
Lauren is a rare gem in every sense, from her attention to detail to her incredible knowledge and the fact that she truly cares about helping her customers find and/or design a gorgeous engagement ring that'll last a lifetime. All jewelry by Lauren Belle is made using conflict-free diamonds, and she specializes in creating one-of-a-kind ceremonial and heirloom jewelry.

Notable Review: "Excellence, exceptionalism, meticulousness, and trustworthiness are all words that could be used to describe Lauren and the work that she performs at Lauren Belle Jewelry — but none would be even remotely sufficient. The devotion to her craft is evident in every step of her process, beginning with the opening minutes of the initial consultation, and ending with the ownership of a piece of jewelry that will leave you mesmerized for years to come. I was referred to Lauren by a friend, and from the onset of our first phone call, I knew that there was a trust that I could place in her that money simply could not buy. Her honesty, her intentionality, her sincere care for the buyer, and the attention to detail that she applies to the pieces she creates far exceeded my wildest expectations." - Riley F.
For A One-Of-A-Kind DIY Experience: LaProng Fine DIY Wedding Jewelry
Whether you're looking to build an engagement ring for your partner solo or prefer to collaborate for an unforgettable experience (and because you're nontraditional like that), LaProng Fine DIY Wedding Jewelry is unlike any other engagement ring store in Dallas. They offer live, in-person workshops where you can literally build your own engagement ring—yes, with your own hands—using state-of-the-art tools and equipment, plus step-by-step coaching from a professional jeweler along the way. You'll walk out of the workshop with a gorgeous ring to propose with the same day too. What's not to love?
There's a complete catalog of examples and turn-key packages to choose from, or you can schedule a design consultation in advance to create something a bit more custom. And if you're not keen on DIY'ing an engagement ring, we highly recommend the wedding band workshop, where you can build rings for each other.
Notable Review: "What an incredible experience making the ring! Joseph was so great in his teaching and process that it made the work fun and exciting to be a part of. Most of all he helped me to create a beautiful ring that I am proud to have given to my future wife." - Juan-Carlos M
For The Best Lab-Grown Diamonds: Brilliant Earth
If you want a bigger rock for half the price (if not more!) that's just as nice, consider purchasing a lab-grown diamond, which is something Brilliant Earth is known for. They use only conflict-free diamonds and 100% recycled metals, and while they offer everything from responsibly sourced, naturally mined, and recycled diamonds to stunning gemstones, where they really shine is gorgeous lab-grown diamond jewelry.
Their Dallas boutique is located in the very walkable West Village. To book a 50-minute, one-on-one consultation and explore all your options, simply head to their website and select your preferred day and appointment time. The Dallas store has samples of most of Brilliant Earth's styles in white gold, in a size 6 or 9, to try on.
Notable Review: "Was looking for something stunning without breaking the bank. Once I came across Brilliant Earth, I knew I was gonna find something. Had done my research and was set on getting a lab-created diamond. The price was right in my budget and I'm very pleased." - Todd D.
For Trendy, Affordable & Colorful Engagement Rings: Kendra Scott
This Austin-based designer is known for her colorful, customizable jewelry pieces and trendy, statement-making designs that won't break the bank. While Kendra has a small collection of responsibly sourced, lab-grown diamond engagement rings in timeless silhouettes, it's her eye-catching gemstone rings and customizable rings that we're obsessed with. The shapes are ultra-modern and unique and the reasonable price points are so refreshing.
You can experience the super popular Color Bar both in-store (at the Dallas engagement ring location in West Village) and online. Customize a unique engagement ring, plus jewelry for your wedding day and bridesmaids while you're at it.
The rings in the engagement ring collection start at $950 and can be personalized with the metal of your choice as well as the carat size. Fine jewelry rings begin as low as $250.

Needless to say, Mariloff feels more like family, and we are lifelong customers!" - Kara B.
