20 Non-Diamond Engagement Rings That Are Stunning
Whether you’ve visited jewelry shops with your significant other or helped a friend build a super-secret Pinterest board for their future wedding, one thing’s certain—engagement rings have probably crossed your mind at one point or another. Diamonds are the traditional choice, but if those aren’t your thing, we’ve done some digging to find other options that are sure to catch your eye.
We’ve uncovered everything from antique styles with blue lapis stones to rings with interlocking bands to one framed around a crystallized geode. Some include small diamond details, but with all of these rings, other stones are the focal point. Whether your style is minimal and sophisticated, retro and vintage, or quirky and unique, we’ve rounded up some rings you’re sure to love. After all, this piece of jewelry will be on your hand forever, so you want to make sure it reflects your distinct personal style.
