The day you propose to your sweetheart should be one of the most special and memorable occasions of your life. It’s fitting that you go the distance to select an engagement ring that lives up to the moment. If you’re thinking about visiting a custom jeweler to create this magical piece, you may want to consider implementing one of these exciting trends.

How to Create a Unique Engagement Ring

1. Return to Yellow Gold

In recent years, rose gold became the metal du jour. While that trend hasn’t waned, yellow gold has returned to the limelight. The classic metal offers a pure, clean look that’s sure to delight traditionalists who favor simplicity and elegance. It also serves as a distinct departure from the more typical platinum engagement ring.

2. Change the Shape

It’s often the subtle elements that lend a ring character and personalized appeal. Custom jewelers can do this by positioning the solitaire somewhere unexpected on the band. The east-to-west style creates a wider appearance, while half-moon settings sit atop the band and allow the ring’s attributes to shine. Additionally, stones positioned on their side or at an angle can convey a sleeker, more modern look.

3. Make It Vintage

Vintage elements lend whimsy and class to modern designs and allow you to choose unconventional features, like colorful stones and unexpected cuts. Rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are all brilliant gemstone alternatives that evoke a unique quality. Art deco silhouettes channel styles from the early 20th century, while clusters of stones reflect the Edwardian era.
