Troube finding our Perfect Ring Box!

Knottie1447561706 · December 2015

Me and my s/o have been looking everywhere, trying to find a dark blue ring box with gold trim. Online all we can seem to find is black, pink, red, green and gray. I've always pictured a classic Navy Blue box with the gold trim, and don't understand why it's so hard to find! I've been to several thrift and antique shops over the weekend and have come home empty handed with no suggestions from the owners.

Any other brick-and-mortar places we should try? Or does anyone know of online shops that have this kind of box in blue?

Can I ask why this matters? I never even use my ring box, I wouldn't go through much effort to find a specific one.

Perfect ring box? Really?

If there is this much pressure for a ring box, how stressful will the rest of your planning be?

Sounds like you want something custom made. I found one immediately on Etsy (Click).

That being said, why does the color of the box matter?

I don't even own my ring box anymore. This is one of the strangest requests I've ever seen.

I don't think I've used my ring box since I got engaged....why does this even matter?

Are you thinking you'll use it to keep your ring in at night? I got a Waterford crystal ring dish as a wedding gift and I keep that by my bed at night to hold my rings.

I think this is pretty high up on 'things that don't matter in hindsight.' I do still have my ring box, but it's in the back of a shelf and definitely dusty because I haven't used it in 4.5 years. I'm glad you got some options in case this is a deal breaker for you, though.

I didn't think it would be impossible to find, especially since there are others available in different colors. The dark blue against the gold has always looked so classic to me. This being a bridal forum, I assumed this was the place with the most educated people on finding ridiculous, picky, detailed wedding-related items. I am very shocked at how offended some of you were by my "strange request". You too, Pauly D. Thanks Speakeasy14, that box is beautiful. And labro, I will also be using a crystal ring holder dish as well. Cu97tiger, I'm sure i won't ever use mine again either. Just the visual of actually being proposed to with that box has always appealed to me.

I also find this request odd, but to each her own.

This is one of the silliest things to worry about I have ever heard!

They are all made in China. There are plenty of other styles on eBay.

I don't think anyone was offended...bewildered maybe but not offended. Are you going to tell your BF what box to buy so he can propose to you with that box?!?

CMGragain · December 2015

Who cares about the box? I didn't even get one. Just give me the ring, Prince Charming!

Ditto, my FI proposed at night by a campfire. I had to pull out a flashlight just to see the ring! I was just so excited that he proposed that I didn't even care

It's too bad you were met with very little help and a LOT of sarcasm and unnecessary snark, OP. Here's what I found. Good luck!

Depending on where you live, you could try some of the oldest jewelry stores in the area. Some will carry estate rings and vintage boxes.

If simply offering an actual answer to OP's question is being a "white knight,", you should warn people not to post anything here unless they want to be answered with tacky overused gifs.

ETA: I said nothing about your husbands/FIs/SOs. That was all you...

Actually that was me. Nobody said YOU said it. JFC.

Oh and here are some more "tacky overused gifs" for you.

For the record, I don't think offering a link to ring boxes is being a "white knight"...but coming to the rescue of OP and offering her solace because of "a LOT of sarcasm and unnecessary snark" (of which there was very little) is. Anyone can post as much as they like here of course...I'll feel free to keep using my "tacky overused gifs" when appropriate.
