Unlimited Access - Brides To Be Can Now Try On Every Ring In The Jeff Cooper Catalog - Virtually!

This new App from Jeff Cooper goes beyond the in store experience...you can from the comfort of your couch - try on every ring in the Jeff Cooper catalog (not just the styles available from the retailer in your area) - stack multiple styles - or just try the wedding band with her Engagement Ring - take a photo of her favorites and share them with friends on her favorite Social platforms!

Fun new app lets brides try on Jeff Cooper rings anytime, anywhere.  After making its debut earlier this month at JCK's Luxury show in Las Vegas, Jeff Cooper's new virtual try-on app is now available to the public. The New York jewelry designer expects the app to revolutionize the way consumers shop for wedding jewelry.

Now available throughthe App Store, the app is tailored to the specific needs and desires of brides-to-be, who can now try on unlimited rings with no geographic or time constraints. Consumers will be free to experience the designs in a completely fun, relaxed and personalized way.

The app finds your favorite rings, shows you how you look in them, takes and shares photos socially, and connects you with an authorized retailer with one click. For a live look, the mirroring function puts the jewelry on you in real time. While trying on, customers can click on the pricing icon, compare similar and matching items, and even watch a product video.

After testing the app on luxury retailers in Las Vegas, David Cooper – who is the President of the company – noted, "People really loved it. They were engaged using it, and everyone thought it looked great. We're excited to be bringing our designs to an even wider audience."
