1. Gemstone

Straying from the traditional diamond setting, we have been in love with the idea of adding color to engagement rings. From Sapphires to Emeralds and even raw diamonds, here are some of our favorites.

4. Vintage Glam

This trend is for our glitter-loving brides. These rings look like antiques but have the perfect amount of fancy and glam to make your ring never feel outdated.

If you can’t decide on one engagement ring, why choose? One of our favorite photographers, Laura Goldenberger captured one of our bride’s engagement ring choices. The beautiful bride, Misha loved two very unique styles for her engagement and wedding band so instead of wearing them both on the same finger, she wears them separately or puts one on her left hand. Why not! Voilà! Four of our favorite engagement ring styles that we couldn’t help but share with you. Let’s admit it, these are absolutely dreamy!

5. Bezel Set Emerald Ring

This bezel set emerald ring by one of our favorite custom engagement ring designers, Love Vérité is so stunning! We love this alternative to a classic diamond. The unique setting and gold color create a modern vintage design.
