40 Unique Engagement Rings for Women
1. Opal Engagement Ring
This Opal ring showcases beautiful color and fire for a classic yet vintage feel. Customize this ring to your preference with your choice of gold and side stones. It’s difficult not to get lost staring endlessly into those vibrant rainbow hues!
2) Trillain Cut Morganite
by TrudyGems
Move over round diamonds, this triangle cut stone is going to stand out in a crowd. If size matters to your special lady (and you know it does), consider a Trillion cut. Compared to a standard round cut gem of the same carat, a trillion cut stone will usually look larger. Besides that, you won’t run across this cut shape often, making this ring choice the perfect option for those looking for top quality uniqueness!
3) Emerald Cut with Micro Pave Halo
by ZacdeGal
If you are not feeling the above trillion cut halo ring, how about this emerald cut centre stone surrounded by micro pave diamonds set in a rhombus shape? It offers all sorts of unique geometric prettiness!
4) Angled Light Blue Sapphire
Add a bit of drama by having the option to wear this breath taking blue sapphire that is set amongst pave white diamonds, either upside down or right side up — a daring take on the traditional halo ring. If your lady likes to live a life that is bold, daring, and unforgettable, this is the ring for her.
5) Non-Diamond Engagement Ring
by Metalicious
An elegant and sleek eco-friendly engagement ring that could be the perfect alternative to an expensive diamond ring. The creator of this 14k yellow gold cast ring polishes it up using the same techniques that stone cutters use in order to achieve a super-sparkly look.
6) Two-Tone Infinity Pattern
by James Allen
Ying and yang, fire and ice, day and night – sometimes adding a hint of juxtaposition is the way to go! This exquisite ring by James Allen features a two-toned infinity setting, inspired by delicate Celtic knots. Available in 14K or 18K rose or yellow gold, the choice is yours. This is a ring that is sure to draw interest and plenty of compliments.
7) Classic Diamond with a Twisted Band
This is a simple stunner with a twist. A ring that visually tells a story of two coming together to cherish their diamond love for one another. Sometimes less is more.
8) Diamond & Swirl Halo
If less is not enough for your lady, then this one of a kind pre-owned swirl halo side accented engagement ring will most certainly have passer by’s taking double takes.
9) Swirl Abstract Ring
If you are looking for unique and luxury than you can’t go wrong with asking her to marry you with this ravishing 0.5 carat beauty.
10) Round Diamond with Sprinkled Diamond Band
by Parade
Reminiscent of a kaleidoscope, this lovely asymmetrical engagement ring features a rose-cut centre stone. A rose-cut diamond offers a somewhat glassy appearance and dramatically less sparkle than that of a round or princess cut diamond, which are usual the go-to choice. However, this cut and ring does offer an intriguing alternative to those looking for pure uniqueness — like Jennifer Aniston who received a rose cut ring from Justin Theroux back in 2012.
11) Pear Diamond Cluster Ring
by capucinne
This pear shaped beauty can either be set vertically *yawn* or sideways like the picture below. An unsuspecting placement, which we are completely ga-ga over!

30) Salt and Pepper Diamond
by JEWELLUXE
If you are looking for something truly unique, this is the ring for you. A salt and pepper diamond. We have never seen anything like it and we bet you haven’t either.
A diamond in the rough and one of a kind. A salt and pepper diamond basically has a lot of inclusions, normally what a diamond ring shopper is trying to avoid. But this is where the beauty lies. These diamonds show the real flaws and the natural beauty of a diamond.
31) Marquise shaped
Another beautiful and uniquely shaped diamond is the marquise. The marquise shape is believe to have been commissioned by King Louis XIV of France which reminded him of his true love perfectly shaped mouth and smile.
Hmm … romantic?
I suppose so. In any event, this diamond offers a very dramatic shape and makes a dazzling choice for an engagement ring.
32) Moissanite Pear Engagement Ring
An attractive pear shaped halo engagement ring with matching wedding band.
33) Quad Princess Diamond Engagement Ring
The illusion of this ring is fantastic. What looks like a near carat size rock, is really smaller diamonds put together in a channel set. If budget and quality are factors for you, think of other ways to get more bang for your buck. I once had a boss who sported a ring like this and it tricked me every time.
34) Pear Diamond Twig Engagement Ring
This earthy looking engagement ring made from an organic twig cast would be perfect for any gal who appreciates the beauty of the great outdoors.
35) Emerald Shape Split Shank Engagement Ring
by James Allen
We had never seen a split-shank combined with an emerald-cut until now and we must say after curating hundreds of rings, this one “wowed” us. Something about the sparkling split shank design just works with this cut of stone. Timless and elegant, this one’s a winner in our books.
36) Modern Square Design
by NirOliva
A three ring set (matching engagement ring and wedding band set) that is made for a lady who is looking for something different.
37) Art Deco Ring
This beautifully tapered baguette diamond ring and matching gold band would be the delight for any roaring 1920’s lovers. Art deco all the way!
38) Mine Cut Diamond
by MSJewelers
We love any unique story of where a diamond comes from, like this one. It’s a mine cut diamond, which popular during the 18th and 19th centuries. They have larger facets than modern cut diamonds.
Being that it is hand mined, the facets of this diamond tend to be less uniform and larger, which gave these sorts of diamonds the phrase “cut for candle light,” as they were cut to catch the beautiful light from the flickering fire.
The steep depth of this diamond gives it volume as well as a faint hint of yellow color, like that of a lovely glass of champagne. Cheers to that!
39) Snake Theme Ring
A dramatic and beautifully shaped slithering engagement ring. Just be sure she likes the look of snakes first!
40) Triple Moon Goddess Engagement Ring
If your lady is on trend, she will fall head over heels in love with this lunar boho engagement ring made with sparkling Claire De Lune Moissanite by Charles & Colvard or brilliant galaxy diamond. This enchanting ring was inspired Selene, a Titan goddess in Greek mythology who was the goddess of the moon. What better way to honor life’s natural rhythms than with this stunning ring.
