While the diamond solitaire engagement ring is a classic, many couples today are looking to find unique engagement rings. A custom designed ring has the advantage that it can match and display a couple’s personality. After all, every couple is unique. No two couples share the exact hopes dreams and aspirations. This is one of the main reasons that couples want a one of a kind ring to symbolize their commitment to each other and commemorate the start of their lives together. Many couples feel that an off the shelf ring just won’t do.
For the couple looking for something different, a cut other than the round brilliant is an easy way to set yourself apart from the crowd. The princess cut (a square cut) is becoming one of the hot new items. If you’re looking to set yourself apart even more, then cuts such as the trilliant, pear or cushion are far less commonly seen day to day. The rose cut is another cut to consider if you’re a couple that likes that antique feel.
Going with a different stone such as an emerald will make your ring a sure conversation sparker. While Irish couples say that the emerald reminds them of Ireland’s green hills, emerald engagement rings are for everyone. The brilliant green color can’t help but draw you in. Similarly, a sapphire engagement ring is sure to draw interest. These deep blue stones are hypnotic and if your fiancee has blue eyes, it’s sure to draw comparisons. Also, keep in mind that even if you choose an emerald or sapphire for your main stone, you can still add diamonds as side stones.
One of the most unique engagement rings available today is the titanium engagement ring, Titanium is a strong and durable metal, far more so than gold or platinum. After all, NASA uses it to build the Space Shuttle. Titanium is a good choice for couples that are active or work with their hands a great deal. It can stand up to wear and tear far better than any other metal. Titanium comes in finishes ranging from grey and coarse to silky, satiny smooth, almost like a mirror.
Today, a couple doesn’t have to be bound by tradition. If they want a unique engagement ring that symbolizes to the world how unique they are as a couple, there are many options available.
