Spring is the air and love is on the lips of couples near and far. If you are looking to take that next step with your partner, hunting for the perfect ring is just the beginning. Give her a ring of a lifetime – one that embodies her breathtaking spirit and one-of-a-kind personality. Below are just a few nontraditional ring style suggestions for your unique bride to be. Your love will be wearing this ring for many years to come, so be sure it suits her perfectly.  

VINTAGE

This term is commonly used to describe rings that were made after the 1920s. The 1940s era was defined by a classic Hollywood aesthetic. The 1960s are known for their Jacqueline Kennedy-inspired pieces, and the 1980s rings were, of course, dramatic and bold. Vintage engagement rings exhibit antique motifs, classical settings and old world detailing. diamonds_05  

ALTERNATIVE

Is your bride looking for a ring with a timeless twist? From an open setting to textured metals or a multi-band structure, an alternative ring is unconventional and distinct. Alternative engagement rings can be unusual or exotic looking, so think outside the box – a variety of stones in quirky settings, unexpected cuts and even black diamonds.

MODERN

Keep your bride’s ring simple and elegant with clean lines and geometric silhouettes that offer a sleek and modern sensibility. Modern engagement rings boast chic details that are both romantic and contemporary. Within the past few years, we have seen a rise in the halo setting – a soft outline of diamonds surrounding a larger center stone. Rose gold has also been a popular choice, contrasting with the traditional yellow or white gold. Personalization and customization are breaking all of the rules of engagement rings, so have fun and incorporate your fiancé’s grace and charm.
