The style of your engagement ring should be as unique and meaningful as the love and commitment you share with your partner. Jewelry designers on Etsy create beautiful alternative engagement ring designs, including rings with diamond substitutes, crystal engagement rings, and sapphire engagement rings. Consider these other ideas for unique engagement rings:


  • Simple engagement rings: Embrace your inner simplicity with a minimalist engagement ring that has a few dainty diamonds, a singular thin band, or one small stone to represent the month you and your partner first met.
  • Unique wedding bands: Use a stack of wedding bands as an alternative to an engagement ring, or pair an alternative band with your ring. Instead of a gold or platinum metal wedding band, pair your engagement ring with one made of materials like wood, meteorite, opal, or guitar strings.
  • Diamond alternatives: Choose from stones like salt and pepper diamonds, moissanite, morganite, moss agate, or raw black diamonds for a different style of engagement ring.


If you’re looking for something extra unique, work with a jewelry designer on Etsy to help bring your vision to life. Create a custom unique engagement ring to personally tailor your ring’s design, setting, and stones in a way that speaks to your personal aesthetic. There’s no doubt your different engagement ring will be one of a kind.
