Unusual Engagement Rings
For many people, love and marriage are synonymous with diamonds and jewelry. However, if you have a truly unique love, or want something different than the traditional diamond engagement ring, you probably aren’t going to find exactly what you need in the average jeweler’s case. Instead, you should explore all the unusual or unique engagement rings that are available to celebrate your extraordinary union.
Ideas for Unusual Engagement Rings
When choosing an unusual engagement ring, couples can choose a design, shape or color that is important to them, or they can choose something that symbolizes their love. Some unusual engagement ring ideas include:
Antique Engagement Rings
Perhaps this ring came from your great-grandmother, or is something you purchased at a thrift store. Many times antique jewelery can add character to an engagement ring that isn’t possible with modern jewelry today.
Colored Engagement Rings
Traditional diamond engagement rings are clear, however, that doesn’t mean they have to be. For instance, pink diamond jewelry is unusual and tremendously appealing. If you or your significant other are not fond of pink, there are a variety of other diamond colors that are available for use in engagement rings.
Birthstone Engagement Rings
If there is a certain time of year that is relevant to you and your significant other, or if you both share the same birth month, you may want to consider birthstone jewelry in place of a traditional engagement ring.
Unusual Shapes
The most popular engagement ring shapes are princess, marquis and round. However, there are an endless options that can be used in engagement rings. If you are interested in selecting an engagement ring with an unusual shape, you may want to consider:
*cube shaped diamonds
*diamonds in a scaffolding setting
*diamonds with an orbit setting
*diamonds in a setting that appears like a flower or a heart
Design Your Own Engagement Ring
If you simply cannot find the engagement ring that fits your style, you can always design your own engagement ring with the help of a skilled jeweler. While this is often a pricey endeavor, it is possible to find affordable fine jewelry that you created yourself.
Other Ways to Make Your Engagement Ring Truly Unusual
Another way to make your engagement ring unusual is to choose an unusual metal as the band of your engagement ring. To find out more about the types of metals that can be used in an engagement ring, talk to your jeweler.
A simple and inexpensive way to create a unique engagement ring is to have the ring engraved. Although there isn’t a great deal of space, couples can get creative with the engraving. For instance, couples can develop their own symbol for their relationship, or have the date of their marriage engraved on the inside of the ring.
When couples are lucky enough to find extraordinary love, they should take the time to choose a unique engagement ring that symbolizes their love for each other. Couples can certainly research unusual engagement rings on their own, but working with a jeweler can ensure that their unique ring is truly everything they expect it to be.
