Whimsical Engagement Rings For The Non-Traditional Bride

While we love a classic diamond set in platinum, it isn't a style that appeals to every bride's taste. Many brides are choosing something a little different, whether inspired by current trends or personal preference. For the bride who wants a non-traditional edge, there are many whimsical engagement rings that aren't run of the mill.

Sex and the City 2 launched a huge bridal jewellery trend when Mr. Big chose a large black diamond engagement ring with chunky facets for Carrie. Organic, earthy-luxe jewellery is another big trend, which has made a noticeable impact on the engagement ring market. Raw diamond rings come in an array of shapes, sizes and colours to suit a variety of tastes. Colourful gem stones like sapphires and rubies are also making a comeback thanks to the Duchess of Cambridge and celebrities like Elizabeth Hurley, Jessica Simpson, and Halle Berry. Another whimsical engagement ring trend we love? The rise of rose gold, and the emergence of many beautiful rings that combine different metals like rose and white or white and yellow---talk about making a unique statement.
