Unusual Diamond Engagement Rings

Tuesday, March 5, 2013
RSS Feed

You’ve got it all figured out – who you are, that is. A true individual, you are drawn to the offbeat, eccentric, and original. Likewise, your relationship has been anything but ordinary.

 

Your engagement ring should reflect your personal style, individuality, and the one-of-a-kind connection that you share with the love of your life. A fabulously unusual diamond engagement ring may be the perfect fit.

 

Even those drawn to alternative styles can have a traditional streak or an appreciation for the brilliance and durability of diamonds. There are many ways to add artistic flair and unique details to a diamond engagement ring. You have never been afraid to walk on the wild side, so don’t settle until you find that perfectly unusual diamond engagement ring that looks as though it were made just for you.

 

Fancy Shaped Diamonds
One size does not fit all, and neither does one shape. Go ahead – look beyond the round brilliant cut diamond. A sparkling diamond in an unexpected shape can provide just the right creative spin on the classic diamond engagement ring.

Unique, lesser-known diamond cuts, also called fancy shaped diamonds, dazzle in shapes such as oval, pear, marquise, radiant, asscher – even heart shaped! Fancy shaped diamonds can be set in many of our engagement ring settings, from classic solitaire settings to vintage-inspired or modern designs.

 

Contemporary Ring Settings

A bold, modern setting can transform a diamond engagement ring into an unusual and striking work of art. Look at what styles you are drawn to again and again. Do you love clean lines? Organic shapes? Unexpected details? Fresh, contemporary settings such as split-shank, bezel, or halo, or an eye-catching brushed or matte finish can provide a stunning backdrop to showcase your diamond.

A Diamond Band as an Engagement Ring

For a fresh alternative, forgo the traditional engagement ring with a featured center stone for a luxe diamond band. A flush profile makes diamond engagement bands the very definition of laid-back glamour, and makes it easy to “stack” other rings around it for a unique and ever-evolving expression of personal style.

Many brides choose a diamond eternity band because of its gleaming beauty and the never-ending love it symbolizes.

Unusual Antique Diamond Engagement Rings

What do Downton Abbey, Dr. Zhivago, and Greta Garbo have in common? Great style and high drama, two qualities similarly found in many antique rings.

 

If you are drawn to antique styling and vintage fashion, or love the idea of having an unusual, one-of-a-kind ring with a romantic history, you may find a diamond engagement ring that perfectly suits you in our Antique and Vintage Ring Collection.
