Unique Engagement Rings
Accessed on 1/16/2007
Everyone knows his or her love is special and for that reason many people want unique engagement rings to commemorate that bond. It used to be that when you got engaged, you surprised your intended with a solitaire round-cut diamond engagement ring. Nowadays, many brides and even grooms go to a jewelry store together to pick out his and her unique engagement rings. By picking a different cut or a different colored diamond than white, or even adding other gems to the ring as well as diamonds, one can create a truly customized look. How a couple decides to make their rings unique diamond engagement rings is totally up to them.
One of the ways to make them unique engagement rings is to pick a metal other than gold for the setting. Many couples are now choosing platinum or tungsten for the setting and men, in particular, tend to like platinum more. It is harder than gold and more durable. If they do choose gold, couples have the option of different settings. Some people choose something to highlight their heritage like Celtic knots if they are Irish. Another way to modify the setting, besides choosing a different metal, is to opt for bezel, pave, or tension setting rather than the typical prong setting.
Finally, one of the easiest ways to personalize the engagement ring is to choose an unusual cut with a different colored diamond, other than a brilliant white. Whether one chooses a pear cut or a marquise cut diamond, the difference in the shape of the stone makes for highly unique engagement rings.
