Non-diamond engagement rings

While diamonds are a girl’s best friend, they don’t have to be in your engagement ring. In fact, there are many unique non-traditional engagement rings to choose from. You will be spoilt for choice! In this guide, we explore a range of diamond alternatives that will complement your wedding ring perfectly. 

Examples of diamond alternative engagement rings
