Unusual Engagement Rings That Get Noticed for the Right Reasons

Perhaps, as a buyer, you want something a tad out-of-the-box for your engagement ring; you are not alone. Many buyers seek out unusual engagement rings for a variety of different reasons. Some just do not care for diamonds, some want a ring as unusual as their relationship, some think diamond engagement rings are overdone. The list could go on and on. Regardless of the reason, unusual engagement rings seem to be coming in style, as each couple attempts to find a ring that is different but still as beautiful as a traditional diamond engagement ring.

Coming into style as of late are nondiamond engagement rings . Sapphire, ruby, and emerald have been frontrunners in the engagement ring game as many celebrities have started showing off their atypical rings. Just ask Ashlee Simpson with her red ruby art deco style engagement ring, or maybe Olivia Wilde with her emerald halo engagement ring, or even Kate Middleton with her unusual sapphire ring how they love their unusual engagement rings without center diamonds.

What about the buyers who still want a diamond ring? Although diamond rings are traditional engagement rings, buyers still have the option to make the ring more unique through the band and style. Surrounding diamonds can be put into a different formation to make an unusual engagement ring setting. Additionally, swapping out the type of metal can make a big statement for a small ring. Rings are typically offered in white, yellow, or rose gold, but even beyond those, some rings have the option to mix and match different metals to create a one-of-a-kind ring.

Many new engagement ring trends have come about in the past few years, with the most popular being rose gold. While there are still plenty of unusual gold engagement rings, a buyer can turn an ordinary, traditional ring into something brand new and unique with rose gold. Additionally, the rose cut diamond is making a comeback to create a modern and vintage twist.
