Truly, no other relationship is just like yours. Why should anyone else’s engagement ring be just like yours? in 2024, couples are searching for more unique symbols of love; something that tells their story or portrays their personality in a way nothing else can. Sometimes this can be done just by custom making an engagement ring from scratch. The sentimentality that goes into a custom made ring goes a long way! But other times a truly unique engagment ring is the way to go.
Let’s look at some unique engagement rings designed with SHANNON, so you can get some inspiration for the custom ring you’d like to create next!
Let’s start with a totally unique design right out of the gate: A natural aquamarine butterfly set in 14K white gold. This client said his girlfriend always gave him “butterflies” and she knew she didn’t want a diamond. We came up with this design together and you could definitely say it made our hearts flutter!
Next up we have a totally A-symmetrical design. This was just something the client drafted in her head. In fact, she wrote it on a napkin and sent it over for us to design, and it turned out, well, better than anyone could have dreamed! This ring reminds us all to trust our creative instincts.
A simple way to make an engagement ring really unique is to use an alternative gemstone from a white diamond. This sapphire ring with diamonds set in 14K yellow gold is really giving off some regal vibes and a whole lot of personality!
Want a unique engagement ring that’s a little more subtle? Use a less common cut of diamond, like a rose cut diamond. This oval rose cut diamond ring with rose cut diamonds on the wedding band is a total vintage, feminine, unique explosion of personality. We love the look, and of course, we found the perfect diamonds to fit!
When creating a unique engagement ring it’s also important to remember that not all materials are durable or made to last. At SHANNON, we always recommend going with gemstones that are at least an 8 on the mohs hardness scale, and always using precious metals such as 14K gold or platinum. That being said, we won’t shy away from making a unique ring with softer gemstones as long as you’re aware of the risks associated from every day wear.
