I am REALLY crushing hard on handmade, non-diamond rings lately! The aesthetic of the made-to-order, a little off-beat, vintage-inspired ring is just so lovely to me.
I rounded up a little collection of my favorite finds so that you can ogle right along with me. And if you have an hour (or, you know, ten hours) to kill and want to wander through Pinterest, my "wedding rings" board is here.

What are your thoughts on non-diamond engagement rings? Would you go for it, or are you committed to the tradition of diamonds?
I like them! I think they are simple yet elegant!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! They are all GORGEOUS.

I love these. So simple and unique.
ReplyDeletethose are absolutely gorgeous! love them - i think i would have toyed with the idea - and then stuck with the traditional diamond. I'd love a non diamond ring for my right hand ....but i'm a sucker for tradition. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're all really beautiful. Sometimes I think about having a 2nd ring that I could wear when I'm not comfortable wearing my real ring (aka flea markets and when I'm deal hunting or doing messy activities like a 5K). Any of these would be perfect for that!
ReplyDeleteI love these! And really want one :).
ReplyDeleteI love these! They have a vintage and yet elegant feel. I can't get enough!
ReplyDeleteI'd go for no diamond. I love the first one :)
ReplyDeleteI love this collection and thank you so much for sharing. I love this non-diamond thing ;) xoxox
ReplyDeleteGURL i love thesseeee... i've been trying to hint the beau with non-tiffany like rings. awesomeee
ReplyDeleteI can not stand diamonds, or what they represent, so I wouldn't have one! My husband got me a beautiful smoky quartz engagement ring-- locally mined & beyond beautiful!! I've never had a piece of jewelry I loved so much. Although...that morganite round setting on the lower left is pretty drool worthy!
ReplyDeletehave to admit I go to Garnet Girl's shop when I feel crappity and look at the gorgeousness :D I have a secret Pinterest page for a 2nd wedding - to my current hubby!!!
ReplyDeleteI just want a ring that is different and unique. These don't speak to me but I am up to the idea of a non-diamond ring. As long as he went through the process of putting thought, heart and soul then I am okay with it. Oh and some money. If he goes without a diamond then I want something that has a little money behind it.
ReplyDeleteI went the more traditional route, but these are all gorgeous! A number of my friends have engagement nontraditional rings, and they all have a really interesting story behind them.

I like these, especially the round settings! I'd prefer a non diamond engagement ring for sentimental and financial reasons, but my guy insists on buying a diamond. Oh well. I'm hoping to incorporate color with a sapphire wedding band. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW, every single one of those rings is breathtakingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog :)

I have pinned one of these as my engagement ring to be (you know, if I actually find someone to ask me one day, ha!) I've never looked for one (having not needed to) but always thought I never wanted a diamond ring - mainly as I hate having the 'norm' of anything. Never could decide what sort of thing I'd have until I saw these!
