UNIQUE ALTERNATIVES TO DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RINGS
Breaking away from tradition can often lead to the most unique and personal choices, especially when it comes to engagement rings. While diamonds have long been the go-to gemstone for engagement rings, there's a growing trend towards selecting alternative gemstones like emeralds and sapphires that offer vibrant colours and distinct character. If you're considering a non-diamond engagement ring, here are some special bespoke commissions we have worked on for inspiration.
Sapphire engagement rings
Sapphires are a popular choice for those looking for a unique engagement ring. Known for their deep blue hue, sapphires symbolise wisdom, nobility, and fidelity. However, sapphires come in a variety of colours, including pink, yellow, green, and even white, offering a range of options for a unique engagement ring. Their durability, second only to diamonds, makes them an excellent choice for an engagement ring that will last a lifetime.
Emerald engagement rings
Emeralds are another popular alternative to diamonds. Their rich green colour has been treasured throughout history by various cultures and are perfect for those who want a ring that stands out. Additionally, their geometric facets and vibrant hue make them ideal for Art Deco ring designs.
Mixed gemstone engagement rings
For a truly unique and colourful option, consider a mixed gemstone engagement ring. These rings can feature a combination of gemstones, such as sapphires, emeralds and rubies, creating a vibrant and personalised piece. Mixed gemstone rings can be designed to reflect the wearer’s personality, favourite colours, or even birthstones, making them a deeply meaningful choice.
Additional gemstone options
Beyond sapphires, emeralds, and rubies, there are many other gemstones to consider for a unique engagement ring:
Aquamarine: Known for its light blue colour, aquamarine symbolises tranquility and clarity.
Amethyst: This purple gemstone is associated with peace, stability, and strength.
Opal: Opals offer a unique play of colours and are perfect for those who want a one-of-a-kind ring.
Choosing a non-diamond engagement ring opens up a world of possibilities for creating a truly unique and personal piece. Whether you opt for a sapphire, emerald, ruby, or a mix of gemstones, these alternatives offer vibrant colours and rich histories that can make your engagement ring even more special.
