Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend never explored unique engagement rings designed with a mixture of diamonds and gemstones, along with precious metals and enamels. The Victorians were onto something when they first popularized unique engagement rings adorned with alternative materials. These engagement rings were often made in the shapes of flowers, which were commonly known as “posey rings”.


With a slogan like, “A Diamond is Forever,” diamond engagement rings began to take over the engagement ring scene once again in 1947. This De Beers campaign sparked sales by conveying the message that, just like a diamond, your marriage will be forever – that your diamond engagement ring is unbreakable, just like your commitment to one another. Even in this century, diamond rings are a popular choice due to the representation, but that is slowly changing.


As history repeats itself, more and more people are opting for unique engagement rings made with alternative gemstones and materials like the Victorians used to have. Brides-to-be are now opting for something other than the traditional diamond engagement ring. Instead of having a traditional engagement ring with a generic meaning used by everyone, women are now choosing non-traditional engagement rings made with alternative gemstones that represent their unique love and personality. These beautiful gemstones come in all the colors, cuts, and shapes a bride could dream of that allow them to choose a one-of-a-kind look and design that is true and authentic to their marriage.
