17 Unique Engagement Rings We Love
Finding a unique engagement ring can be slightly trickier than you might think, with many jewellers gravitating towards the same (or at least very similar) cuts and designs. And, as great as classic styles are — I mean, they’re named as such for a reason — some brides-to-be want a ring that nobody else is going to have. So, with that in mind, we’ve rounded up a load of lesser-seen designs to consider if you’re on the hunt for something distinctive.
Different Cuts
If you’re looking for an alternative take on the traditional diamond ring, why not expand your options beyond the princess, solitaire, emerald, and oval cuts?
From baguettes and marquise, trillian to asscher, selecting a rarer shape can instantly set your ring apart, perfect for brides keen to do things a little differently.

Unique Stones
There are plenty of hypnotic, twinkly options to choose from if you’re looking for something other than a diamond. Precious stones such as sapphires, rubies and emeralds are perfect for those seeking a colourful accent in their ring. Meanwhile, semi-precious pearls, opals and garnets are untraditional yet beautiful minerals that also come in at a more affordable price point.

Eye-Catching Settings & Styles
If you still want a diamond in a tried-and-tested cut – to each their own – mixing up the setting might be exactly the unique spin you’re looking for.
Take the pear-shaped and solitaire designs, for example. They’re classic cuts, but by rotating the angle at which the stones sit and, in the case of the solitaire, surrounding it with a matching bezel, the rings have a decidedly bespoke feel.
