One-of-a-Kind Engagement Rings to Fall in Love with

When you do a quick search on Google, you’ll notice that there is surprisingly very little information on picking the right engagement ring. 

And with the articles already out there, they only seem to supply information about pricing rather than detailing what consumer trends people should look out for. All you get are little hints here and there, like the ones outlined on Huffington Post, for picking out that perfect ring.

It’s true that you can’t go wrong with a diamond-encrusted engagement ring, the timeless classic that can be found in several styles on the fashion aggregator Lyst, but lately we’ve noticed a bunch of trends that are getting us to rethink the traditional and hoping that one day we are presented with something a little more unconventional.

The Non-Diamond Gemstone 

Though they may be cheaper in value, there are several other precious stones out there that are just as remarkable as the diamond. Emeralds, sapphires and rubies are now the chosen centerpieces for jewelers, drawing more focus to the ring itself because the vibrant colors. Some rngs have been designed with multiple precious stones, a perfect fit for the quirky girl.

The Rough Cut Diamond 

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and the princess cut has always been the most popular fancy diamond shape, particularly for engagement rings as told by Lumera Diamonds. But nowadays, ring manufacturers seem to be paying more attention to unfinished stones, using raw diamonds to for a unique touch, proving that flaws are what can make things beautiful.

The Gemstone Cluster

Can’t seem to make up your mind for what stone or cut to go for? Opt for the cluster of stones, so instead of having just one gemstone in the center, you have ten or more in a variety of colors.

The Engagement Band

While we love big stones, some women do look subtler designs that can be worn every day without distracting from their outfits. Engagement bands are quite versatile and come in diamond and other precious stone varieties, as well as unique styles like the black diamond band shown on Refinery29.
