3 Engagement Ring Ideas For A Fiance Not Into Diamonds

Engagement rings typically feature a somewhat simple band and a stunning diamond set in the middle. But not everyone wants the traditional setting of diamonds. What should you do if you or your fiance just aren't into diamonds? Here are a few great ways to use other beautiful options. 

1. Their Favorite Color

Gemstones come in a wide variety of types and colors. So why not make a ring utilizing your partner's favorite color? Look for bold blue sapphires, red rubies, purple amethysts, or yellow citrines, for instance. Thanks to modern gemology, even someone whose favorites are a little unusual — like grey or black — can find something to fit the bill.

Because your partner already adores this color, you can have confidence that they're also more inclined to love the ring you design. 

2. Birth Stones

One way to celebrate your relationship and this new chapter in it is to use your birthstones as a symbol. Birthstones makes the ring personal to your fiance and give you a place to start when designing the ring. 

How should you use birthstones? You might pair both your and your partner's birthstones into one ring for them to wear or you might choose to make two rings each featuring one stone of the pair. If your family has already been started, you might also incorporate your children's birthstones. 

3. Skipping the Stone

There is no rule that says an engagement ring must absolutely feature a gemstone. If your fiance isn't really one to wear flashy rings, they might love a more simple band instead. Because you will save money on the gems, you can put your budget into a customized band style and design.

Because you aren't relying on a big sparkler of a diamond, you can lean into your creative side and express how you feel in more intimate ways. You might engrave it with a personal message or your wedding vow, for example. Or, engrave your heartbeat or even you and your fiance's fingerprints for a truly unique heirloom. 

Which type of non-diamond ring might your intended fiance love the most? No matter whether you focus on birthstones, include their favorite colors, or just ditch the gems entirely, the result will be an engagement ring that will fit their personality and fit whatever budget you have.
