30 Unique Engagement Rings Perfect For the Nontraditional Bride

The idea of a proposal always presents never-ending excitement, but there's one caveat that makes saying yes even more daunting — the engagement ring itself. Just like your future spouse, you'll be wearing your engagement ring for life, so it should be unique and one that you'll love not just in the moment but for years to come. While we love classic rings like the single diamond set on a simple gold band, weddings have taken a refreshing, innovative turn in recent years, so the romantic accessory that you're saying yes to should match.

Some of the most stylish celebrity engagement rings have successfully broken the mold. Perhaps your mind goes to Kate Middleton's iconic 12-carat sapphire ring that was surrounded by 14 diamonds and set on 18-karat white gold, originally owned by Princess Diana, or even Beyoncé's 24-carat emerald-cut diamond ring, set on a split band designed by Hollywood-favorite jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. More recently, Megan Fox's custom toi-et-moi (you and me) piece was revealed to feature her own birthstone. And Rita Ora's giant emerald sparkler in a diamond pavé-set bezel, which she helped to pick out, shifted engagement-ring standards even more.

Fortunately, there are a plethora of unconventional options for the accessory that matters so much. Styles like the solitaire offer the same focus on a singular stone as any traditional ring, but the versatility in setting adds the It factor that sets your piece apart. Meanwhile, rings equipped with three stones are not only statement-making but also designed to symbolize the couple's past, present, and future, thereby heightening their sentimental value. If your search for the nontraditional ring has reached its breaking point, keep scrolling to find "the one" that's just right for your future spouse.
