Even though engagement rings are traditionally centered around a diamond, there’s no rule about what your engagement ring should look like. If you go with a diamond, there are still countless cuts and settings to make your ring an original. But who says you must wear a diamond? These unusual styles are anything but plain. While there are some unique rings on this list, we went outside the box to find unusual rings with unthinkable stones like opals, blue topaz, rubies, emerlads, and more. There are also engagement ring settings with intricate patterns or even engravings. Even the simplest band can make a big statement, and there’s no limit on color. Every bride has a different style and her ring should should embrace her personality. Take a look at a few of our favorites.
Nestled
With a nestled engagement ring and wedding band set, your rings fit together just as perfectly as you and your husband.
Engraved
For a completely personalized touch, have the inside or outside of your rings engraved with your initials, your wedding date or the coordinates of a special place.
Blue Topaz
A blue topaz ring is sure to turn heads, especially when contrasted with a rose gold band.
Cluster
Why have just one diamond? A clustered look with different sized stones is unique, and you can mix in different colors and cuts.
Uncut
If you’re not a traditionalist, a raw, uncut diamond could be the natural engagement ring of your dreams.
Morganite
For the girl who loves pink, a morganite engagement ring has a dusty pink stone that’s not too much color. Take the soft pink look a step further with a rose gold band.
Stacked
Instead of having a single engagement ring, stack multiple bands for a different look. Start with an engagement and wedding band and add one each decade or big milestone. A stacked look gives more room for creativity and individuality with colors and stone cuts.
Delicate
If you’re style isn’t loud and you’re not one for bling, be loyal to your look with a simple, delicate engagement band or ring.
Pearl
If you’re a pearl girl, don’t feel obligated to want a diamond engagement ring. Stay true to your style with a pearl ring.
