5 Unique Engagement Rings Beyond Traditional Diamond Jewels

2 May, 2023 by KatBp 34 Comments

Looking to surprise your lady with a stunning engagement ring? You’ve got to think outside the box to get the answer you want from her. Why not break free from the traditional diamond jewelry trend and explore unique alternatives? 

Well, you’re in for a treat becomes diamonds aren’t the only option to symbolize your eternal love. Of course, they are a lady’s best friend, but there’s a lot more to explore. You can check the latest trends and follow celeb styles to get a lowdown on the hottest engagement ring trend. 

Lucky for you, we have a list of options worth trying if you’re ready to ditch the conventional styles and designs and embrace a personalized symbol of commitment. Let’s share some unconventional options to impress your lady. 

 

Mix your metals

Who said engagement rings are only platinum or gold? Mixing metals is all the rage because it adds a touch of edginess to jewelry. Why not opt for a rose gold band with a white gold bezel? Or buy a platinum ring with a yellow-gold accent? 

Mixing contrasting elements is a way to create extraordinary designs that stand out. Check out the trend to buy a ring that promises to stand out.

Color it up

If it’s not a diamond, it’s got to be a colored gemstone, right? Fashionistas are in love with the vibrant hues of gemstones. Not surprisingly, red engagement rings are on top of the popularity chart. 

Besides rubies, you can check sapphires, emeralds, and pearls. Check what goes well with your lady’s personal style. She’ll surely love it! 

Think vintage

Vintage-inspired jewelry is making a huge comeback, and engagement rings are no exception! These precious pieces have romantic designs and intricate details that exude timeless elegance.

 They have an old-world charm that will make your partner’s heart skip a beat. So, if she craves jewels that tell a story, embrace the vintage vibe.

Customization wins

Why settle for a ring that every other woman has on her finger? It isn’t the best way to impress your lady and show how much you love her. If thinking beyond diamonds, you should consider a customized design to get the right one. 

The options are endless, from choosing the stone to deciding on the metal and picking the setting. Let your imagination run wild, and hire a jewelry designer you can rely on to replicate it! 

Seek inspiration from nature

If your woman is a nature lover, you can seek inspiration from natural elements to gift the perfect engagement ring. Organic motifs such as leaves, flowers, and vines are trending in jewelry design. They look pretty and have an evergreen vibe. 

So your partner’s engagement ring will always be in vogue and close to her heart. What else could you ask for?

An engagement ring is a symbol of love and passion, so you should go the extra mile to pick the perfect one. Think beyond diamonds and try these incredible trends to impress your lady love. You will not have to struggle to get a “yes” from her!

    When we were dating, my husband asked if I had any particular preferences for a ring, and I basically said “anything goes.” He ended up getting a white gold ring with a lovely tanzanite gem. It was so lovely and unique! Turns out, this stone is also becoming more and more rare.

    I like that other jewels can be used for the rings. Diamonds are nice but I do like color.

    Mixing metals is a great idea. My best friend loves white metals but her boyfriend prefers yellow gold, so they are thinking of something different than usual rings!

    Love this and I would have a stone other than a diamond for my ring choice. I love my tanzanite ring and love that it is rare stone that will be depleted before we know it.
