Chapter 1
Start with her, not the stone
You don't need to know diamonds. You need one person who does, on your side. A VYKA jeweller helps you shape the idea, sources the stone, and stays with you from first message to the moment you propose.
A real person, not an algorithm
You'll speak with a named VYKA jeweller who has guided many first-time buyers through exactly this. No showroom pressure, no jargon — just honest help, in English or Arabic.
Typical reply time: within 4 business hours, Sunday–Thursday (GCC hours). Message on a Friday night and we'll reply Sunday morning.
What people actually say
"They walked me through everything and never made me feel out of my depth. The ring was exactly what I pictured."
Aggregate rating reflects real verified Judge.me reviews only.
Chapter 2 · the centrepiece
Rare shapes, as unique as she is
Most jewellers show you five shapes. VYKA sources rare ones — hexagon, pentagon, Dutch marquise and more, plus rare natural colours like champagne, salt-and-pepper and fancy yellow — in both lab-grown and natural, each made to order. Tap any shape to see what it says about her, and design that exact ring on WhatsApp.
Every rare shape is made-to-order and crafted with care, so it takes a little time. Ask your jeweller about availability and lead time for the shape you love.
Chapter 3
Metal that lasts as long as the promise
Here's the honest truth most shops won't tell you: if you want that bright white look forever, choose platinum, not white gold. Tap a metal to see why.
Built to be worn every day for decades. Your jeweller confirms the exact all-in price on WhatsApp before anything is made.
Chapter 4
The 4Cs, in plain language
Sixty seconds and you'll know enough to feel confident. That's the goal — not a gemology degree.
Cut — where the sparkle lives
This is the one that makes a diamond dance. Spend here first; a great cut outshines a bigger, duller stone.
Colour — save invisibly
A near-colourless stone looks white to the eye once it's set. Nobody at the party brings a colour chart.
Clarity — save invisibly too
"Eye-clean" means no flaws you can see without a loupe. That's all you need — you're buying a ring, not a microscope.
Carat — pick a lane
Bigger isn't better; the right size for her hand is. Tell us her style and we'll suggest a lane that feels generous, not showy.
Lab-grown: the smart flex, not the cheap option
A lab-grown diamond is chemically and optically identical to a mined one — same sparkle, same hardness, graded the same way. Choosing lab-grown is how smart buyers get a bigger or rarer stone for the same budget. It's a flex, not a compromise.

Chapter 5 · the tool everyone saves
Her size, without her knowing
This is the part that feels impossible — and it isn't. Here's the exact method jewellers use, plus a few gentle tactics to learn her size without spoiling the surprise. And if it's slightly off? We resize free after the proposal.
First — planning a surprise, or choosing together?
You can switch this any time — it just tailors the advice below.
The easiest and most accurate way is simply to measure together — it's part of the fun of choosing as a family. Here's how to get her size exactly right, so the ring fits from the very first moment.
Measure a ring she already wears
Borrow a ring she wears on that finger. Measure the inside diameter across the middle, in millimetres. Enter it below.
Most women's ring sizes fall between 15 and 19 mm.
| GCC (inner mm) | — |
|---|---|
| US | — |
| EU (ISO) | — |
| UK | — |
In the Gulf, most jewellers size by inner diameter in mm — so the mm number is the most reliable one to share with us.
Or print a ring-sizer strip
Print at 100% scale (no "fit to page"). Check the calibration bar below is exactly 85.6 mm — the width of any bank card — then wrap the strip around her ring or a ring she wears.
VYKA · Secret ring sizer — print at 100% (turn OFF "fit to page")
If this bar isn't 85.6 mm on paper, adjust your print scale.
Match her ring to a circle
Once the bar above measures 85.6 mm, rest a ring she already wears over these circles until the inside edges line up. That circle's size is hers.
Five gentle ways to learn her size (surprise intact)
- Borrow & return. Slip a ring she rarely wears out for an evening, measure it, put it back before morning.
- Enlist her sister or closest friend. They almost always know, and they love being in on it.
- String & ruler on a ring she owns. Wrap, mark, measure the inside — no jeweller needed.
- Order a discreet sizer. Have her try "your friend's" ring sizer as a casual moment.
- Note a ring she already owns. Photograph it beside a coin and send it to us — we'll estimate.
Still unsure? Don't let it stop you. We build to your best guess and resize free after the proposal — the surprise matters more than a perfect first fit.
Measuring together
Choosing as a family is part of the joy. Visit any jeweller together for an exact sizing, or use the strip above at home — then send us the mm number and we'll do the rest.
Chapter 6
Planning the moment
You've done the hard part. A few small things make the proposal itself feel effortless.
- Pick a place that means something to you both — not the most photogenic, the most you.
- Have the ring resized-if-needed plan ready (we handle it free after).
- Tell one trusted person, in case you want a photo or a reservation held.
- Keep the box somewhere she won't find it — a friend's place is safest.
A Melka is a cherished celebration — a moment for two families to come together with joy. Here's how to make the gifting and the occasion feel as special as it is.
- Plan the ring alongside the families so it fits the occasion beautifully.
- Choose a presentation moment within the celebration that honours both families.
- Consider a matching gift set — many families mark the occasion with more than the ring.
- Give us the date early so a made-to-order rare shape arrives in good time.
Bring it all together with your jeweller

Keeping it beautiful
Caring for her ring
- Warm water, a drop of mild soap, a soft brush — that's a diamond's best friend.
- Take it off for the gym, the pool and the beach; knocks and chlorine are the real enemies.
- A quick professional check once a year keeps the setting secure for decades.
Good questions
Common questions
How do I find her ring size without her knowing?
To find her ring size secretly, borrow a ring she already wears on that finger and measure its inner diameter in millimetres, then convert it to a US, EU, UK or GCC size. If you can't borrow one, ask her sister or closest friend, or note a ring she owns and photograph it beside a coin. VYKA resizes free after the proposal, so a close estimate is enough.
How do I get her ring size right?
The easiest and most accurate way is to measure together: take a ring she wears on that finger and measure its inner diameter in millimetres, then convert it to a US, EU, UK or GCC size. Sharing the exact mm reading with us is the most reliable. VYKA resizes free afterwards, so the ring fits perfectly from the very first moment.
Is a hexagon or other rare-shape diamond a real diamond?
A hexagon diamond is a six-sided diamond cut prized for its rare geometric look; it is a genuine diamond, available in both lab-grown and natural. VYKA sources rare shapes such as hexagon, pentagon, kite, shield, old mine and rose cut, plus rare colours like champagne and salt-and-pepper.
Platinum or white gold for an engagement ring?
For a permanently bright-white look, platinum is the better choice than white gold. White gold is plated with rhodium that wears over time and needs re-plating, while platinum is naturally white all the way through and is built to be worn every day for decades.
Are lab-grown diamonds worse than natural ones?
A lab-grown diamond is chemically, physically and optically identical to a mined diamond and is graded on the same 4Cs. It is the smart way to get a larger or rarer stone within your budget — a flex, not a compromise.
Are VAT and customs included in the price?
Yes. Every VYKA price is all-in: VAT and customs duty are already included and are never added at checkout or on delivery. The price you see is the price delivered to you in the UAE and across the Gulf.
