Unique Engagement Ring Ideas
Tired of the same old, boring, conventional diamond engagement rings? Looking for something a little less traditional? An engagement ring which will look fresh, modern and unique? Here are just a few ideas for unique engagement rings which you may find useful when shopping for your hip, trendy engagement ring.
* Fancy colored diamonds
Diamond engagement rings don't necessarily have to be set with the traditional, solitaire, colorless diamond center stone. Engagement rings set with fancy colored diamonds are all the rage when it comes to trendy engagement rings. Fancy colored diamonds come in a rainbow of hues, including: red, blue, grey, black, green, purple, pink, orange, etc. Fancy colored diamond engagement rings are incredibly unique. However, since they are extremely unique and rare, they are generally more costly then colorless diamonds, which are more abundant.
* Unique settings
Engagement rings with unique settings have been rising in popularity over the last couple of years. The traditional prong, bezel and channel settings are out, and the ultra-modern invisible, ballerina and cluster settings are in. Invisible settings are popular with couples who are looking for a clean, light-looking engagement ring. The invisible setting gives the illusion of a diamond floating over the metal band. The ballerina setting is a great idea for couples who want an engagement ring with a glittery, airy and frothy look to it. The gemstones are set in waves and ripples, which are reminiscent of a ballerina's flowing tutu. The cluster setting is a clear favorite among young couples who really want their engagement ring to pop. The gemstones are set in tiers and layers, creating geometrical shapes and patterns.
* Funky metals and materials
Instead of going for the conventional white/yellow gold setting, consider a colorful gold setting for your fresh-looking engagement ring. A colorful, whimsical engagement ring will really pop. You can now find engagement rings composed out of red, green, purple, rose or black gold. The possibilities are endless when it comes to pairing a colorful gold setting with a stunning fancy colored diamond. In addition to colorful gold, engagement rings can, and are, made with virtually any material. From base metals such as plastic, colorful glass, carved and petrified wood, to precious, rare metals such as, titanium and palladium.
* Birthstone engagement rings
Traditionally, engagement rings are set with diamonds and other precious gemstones. However, a rising trend in the engagement ring market involves engagement rings set with birthstones. Birthstones are imbued with sentimentality and add personal meaning to an engagement ring. For an added touch of sentimentality, consider engraving your birthstone engagement ring's band with your names and the date of your nuptials.
You should know that some of these singular engagement rings may not come cheap. Uniquely designed engagement rings may need to be custom ordered and made. Custom ordering an engagement ring can get expensive (depending on the materials uses in making the ring. Naturally, engagement rings made with rare diamonds and/or gemstones and with precious metals, will cost more to produce than engagement rings made with lesser metals and semi-precious gemstones). However, if you are looking for a truly unique, truly magnificent engagement ring, you may decide that the extra cost is well worth it.
