When the time has come for your significant other to pop the question, it helps to know what ring you want. A traditional, large diamond ring may be what your heart desires. But it’s possible that you are looking for something a little more unique when it comes to the ring that will symbolize your love. That’s where non-traditional engagement rings come into play.
What is a non-traditional engagement ring?
Non-traditional engagement rings take a hard turn away from norms typically associated with engagement rings. Traditional engagement rings typically feature a diamond as the centerpiece. However, non-traditional engagement rings offer a wide range of alternatives. A variety of gemstones, materials, designs, and settings all play a part in making an engagement ring unique. Gems like sapphires, emeralds, rubies, or even birthstones, give the ring a vibrant pop. You could even get a band that is made with wood, ceramic or gold. You may be an unconventional type of woman, therefore you need an unconventional type of ring.
Why choose a non-traditional ring
Non-traditional engagement rings aren’t just about being different. They celebrate your individuality and authenticity. The ring is a reflection of a couple’s unique journey and one love story is never the same. By choosing a non-traditional engagement ring, couples make a bold statement about their love and their commitment to carving out their own path.
Here are a few rings that will keep the uniqueness of your love at the center of the proposal.
A Step Away From The Norm
Pearl Ring
If you are a minimalist babe, this ring is perfect for you. Take a step into the elegant side of rings by ditching the large diamond engagement ring for this beautiful pearl in the center of this rose gold band. The pearl, however, is accompanied by one tiny diamond, in case you still want to see that rock somewhere on your finger.
Amoris Ring
This ring keeps the traditional diamond but takes the style of an engagement ring to an entirely different level. Instead of a typical silver band, this ring is for all you gold lovers. The double band addition makes this ring unique to the woman who likes a little more space taken up on her finger by the ring itself and not just the rock in the middle.
Sapphire Ring
This customizable sapphire diamond ring is a perfect alternative for those who don’t want just a boring clear diamond on their ring. What makes this particular ring so special is that it is customizable. Choose from a round, cushion, oval, or emerald-cut shape and then specify the dimensions of your center stone.
Two-of-Us Ring
This special ring is categorized as a Toi et Moi ring. These are rings that coil around the finger with two complementary gemstones. In French, “toi et moi” means “you and me.” The Effy ring is a minimalist take on the style, with a 14K yellow gold band.
Jade Ring
Although jade can be a tad on the expensive side, it is worth it for the person you want to get engaged to. Jade is durable, rare, and beautiful. It also has ages of history, making it one of the most sought-after gemstones. This ring merges the beauty of jade with the traditional diamond ring. This gives it the illusion of poise and class while keeping things less traditional.
