Jewelry retailers are reporting a strong start to engagement season, with financing applications up double digits year over year. The mix is shifting toward longer-term installment plans and away from short-term BNPL, consistent with average ticket sizes in the $3,000–$8,000 range where deferred-interest and 24-month plans win. Multi-lender platforms are capturing more of these applications because single-lender programs decline a meaningful share of near-prime engagement-ring customers.
