WHAT MAKES AN ENGAGEMENT RING STYLE ALTERNATIVE?

An engagement ring style is considered alternative when it deviates from traditional designs in both aesthetic and material choices. These rings often feature non-diamond center stones, such as sapphires, emeralds, or even moissanite, offering a more personalized touch. Bold, unique settings like vintage-inspired filigree, asymmetrical shapes, or bezel settings, can also contribute to an alternative appeal. In addition to those qualities, alternative engagement rings may embrace unconventional band styles, such as distinctive metal choices, mixed metal designs, or intricate, custom craftsmanship. This approach allows couples to reflect their individual styles and create a one-of-a-kind piece that truly represents their journey together.
