Once upon a time, engagement rings weren’t confined to a single style. In fact, throughout history, rings meant to celebrate love were as varied as the couples who wore them. Colored gemstones like sapphires, rubies, and emeralds often took center stage, while pearls and plain gold bands also held their place in the spotlight. These rings were unique, personal, and often deeply symbolic.
Then came the Victorian era, a time when intricate designs and romantic details defined jewelry trends. Rings from this period often featured a mix of diamonds and gemstones in elaborate settings, capturing the era’s flair for sentimentality and beauty. But it wasn’t until much later, in 1947, when De Beers famously declared “A Diamond Is Forever,” that the diamond solitaire became the universal symbol of engagement. This clever marketing campaign reshaped tradition, making diamonds synonymous with love and commitment for decades to come.
Fast forward to now: the tides are shifting again. Couples are moving beyond convention, embracing creative engagement ring styles that feel personal and meaningful. Whether it’s an alternative gemstone, a vintage-inspired design, or an entirely custom piece, today’s rings celebrate individuality—and we love to see it.
Because here’s the thing: your engagement ring should be more than a status symbol. It’s a reflection of your story, your style, and the connection that makes your love unique. Why settle for anything less?
