5 Unusual Engagement Ring Styles
We love engagement rings of all shapes and sizes, from the traditional to the modern. But while a princess cut diamond ring is a timeless classic, we know that some brides are searching for something more unique. We think these 5 styles are refreshing alternatives to the typical engagement ring.
Heart Shaped Engagement Ring
A heart shaped ring is a bold choice, ideal for a confident wearer with a fun, light-hearted sense of style. The heart is the ultimate symbol of romance and makes a quirky alternative to the traditional gemstone cuts. Choose a white gold ring set with a single diamond for simple sophistication, or go for pave diamonds either side for a more striking look.
Eternity Band Engagement Ring
If sing
le stone engagement rings do not take your fancy, perhaps an eternity band would be more appealing. Set with a continuous line of gemstones around the band, eternity rings are traditionally given after a few years of marriage. However, there is nothing stopping you from using the style for your engagement ring.
Engraved Engagement Ring
Engraving a ring is an intricate process that can produce stunning results, and it’s perfect if you’re looking for an unusual style. An engraved pattern or message will really set your ring apart from others, whether it’s a simple date or initials, or an elaborate pattern across the whole of the band.
Coloured Stone Engagement Ring
When it comes to precious gemstones, there is a whole spectrum of colours available, so why keep it to clear diamonds? Sapphires, rubies and emeralds are popular alternatives to diamonds, but if you wanted something really unusual, how about a pink tourmaline, yellow citrine or even a glittering opal?
Uncut Engagement Ring
Some jewellery designers are steering away from sleek, shiny rings and exploring the world of uncut stones, working with gemstones in their raw form to create quirky rings with an unfinished feel. This style is not for everyone, but if you love the look of raw stones and you’re looking for a ring that sparks conversation, an uncut stone engagement ring might be perfect for you!
