10 Unusual Modern Engagement Rings

When most women think of an engagement ring, they picture a diamond on a gold band. However, there are many great options out there when it comes to engagement rings and not all of the bands are gold nor are all of the stones diamonds. Here are some examples of modern engagement rings that break with the diamond and gold band tradition. They’re very beautiful and even a bit unusual which can set that special someone, apart from the crowd.

White Sapphire

White sapphires look, for all practical purposes, just like a regular diamond. However, they are far less expensive. They still look beautiful in either a gold, silver or rose gold setting. Many women choose to pair a large center white sapphire with other gemstones surrounding it.

Blue Sapphire

Perhaps Princess Diana had it right. A blue sapphire is an unusual center stone for an engagement ring and yet, it is absolutely lovely! It can be paired with other stones or worn as a solitaire. If blue is her favorite color this may work well for an engagement ring.

Emeralds

Emeralds have long been used as engagement rings in some areas. They are lovely and exquisite yet they won’t break the bank. Again, you can pair them with other stones and different colored gold or even silver. Emeralds lend themselves well to a variety of settings for rings.

Amethyst

This purple stone is said to have strong energy. Regardless of whether or not you believe this, it is a lovely center stone for an engagement ring and has been used for decades as just that.

Citrine

This little gemstone is pretty and of a yellow gold color. Affordable yet sparkling it reflects a look of yesteryear. If you’re looking for something that lends an antique look to your ring, Citrine may be the stone for you.

Opal

Opals are a lovely option and offer a variety of shapes and sizes for a ring. They can be placed into a gold, silver, or even a rose gold setting and will give an air of sophistication to any bride.

Black Diamonds

Black diamonds are enjoying a current trend and they are a bit unusual when compared to their white diamond counterparts. Offset with a few white diamonds or white sapphire stones they really stand out from the crowd.

Turquoise

Turquoise is always lovely and can easily be paired with other stones that will help it to stand out from the crowd. Although it can be paired with any shade of gold, it also looks very lovely with a silver colored band.

Birthstones

Many couples today choose their birthstones for the engagement ring, and then the month that they get married for the wedding band itself. when properly designed these can offer a unique and lovely alternative to the modern traditional engagement and wedding ring.

Rough Cut Stones

An unusual trend is to choose rough cut stones for the center stone. A rough cut stone hasn’t been polished or cut to any fancy dimensions that will reflect the light. Most of them look rather plain yet they stand out due to their unusual designs. They lend themselves well to making a unique and creative ring.

Many young couples take a ring from a grandparent and have it redesigned for their tastes. Using any of the stones mentioned above is a unique and fun way to design an unusual engagement ring and make it something that no one else will ever have. Take your time and give it some thought and consider some of the stones mentioned above if you’re looking for an unusual engagement ring look. With so many options you may have to design a wedding band with a few stones in it as well.

Once you have got the ring planned now all you need to do is organise your engagement photographer. It is often a great idea to use the same person who shot your engagement as your wedding photographer.

Mariah Carey Sold Her 35 Carat Diamond Engagement Ring For 2.1 Million

Most people’s engagement rings aren’t 35 carats. Mariah Carey’s certainly was, and initially, she kept the ring. It was from her ex-partner James Packer, who is a billionaire. You might think that even a billionaire would squabble over a ring that is worth up to 10 million. He might have, but the couple agreed upon who would keep the ring when splitting up.

It is customary for the woman to keep an engagement ring if a couple splits. Mariah Carey kept it as mentioned, but later on she decided to go ahead and get rid of it, which is what most people do. She sold it for 2.1 million dollars, much less than it is worth. She decided to sell it in LA to a jeweler there.

Seeing as how Mariah Carey isn’t hard up for money, she probably didn’t care if she got the most cash for the ring. Her publicist said that she just wanted to move on basically. It makes you wonder if she kept the ring initially because she thought that the two of them might get back together.

I don’t like to hear about people breaking up, but it’s not like this was Mariah Carey’s first relationship. Far be it from me to give relationship advice, but it just seems like celebrities seem to have so many relationships. I know relationships has to be hard on them though with all that each person has going on and the fact that feel like they have to date their own social class.

Sometimes it seems as though many of those relationships are fake, but let’s hope not. I definitely do not envy them because it has to be one of the more difficult aspects of their lives. We sometimes look at celebrities and want what they’ve got, but people are most important. We have the people we love in our lives, and celebrities have major issues with relationships.

You can imagine trust is a factor. Anyway, so Mariah Carey has sold her engagement ring. She had a person she knows design it, too. The designer has known Mariah Carey for 25 years. That’s more of the details, but the ring is floating around out there now.

It makes you wonder if someone has bought it already. It’s a 35 carats diamond ring, a huge one. Have you seen a picture of it yet? Do people actually buy these rings that used to be owned by celebrities, and if so, are they sold at a rather large markup?

You would think that the answer to those questions are yes and yes. It would be interesting if you could find out the LA jeweler who has the ring and see how much it costs. Of course, you never know, it might have sold already. Would you be interested in buying a 35 carat ring?

Even if not, it sure is an interesting story, right? It makes you wonder if her diamond ring is anywhere close to a modern record for carats in terms of engagement rings. Surely some billionaire out there has set a higher bar, but wow, what a ring. I can’t help but think that it’s a waste, but that’s me.

Nice rings are great, but they don’t have to be 35 carats. That kind of ring could feed a million people for a day. Just saying, that’s excess in most people’s opinions, but what can you say? It is the culture of big money, and who are we to judge. It’s just hard to imagine. It sure would be nice to see that kind of a ring though, right?

Our Picks For The Top 5 Luxury Bridal Pieces You’ll Love

Are you getting married sometime soon? If so, then you’ll want to start thinking about what jewelry pieces you should wear. Don’t worry because we’ve got you covered. The five most gorgeous luxury bridal jewelry pieces you’ll love include:

1. Threader Earrings

You can’t go wrong with threader earrings, which are known for being stunning in appearance. If you want to convey fun and quirky, then these are the types of earrings you’ll want to wear. They have a unique design to them and they have a high-end look to them, so be prepared for your guests to notice them.

If you do buy a pair of threader earrings, then make sure your hair doesn’t cover over them. You want to show them off, so wear your hair swept over the shoulder/shoulders or tie it in a bun. Make sure to compare various threader earrings because they’re available in many styles.

2. Diamond Halo Stud Earrings

The chances are you already have a pair of Diamond stud earrings, but you can take things up a notch by wearing a pair of Diamond Halo stud earring jackets, which will actually infuse your Diamond studs. What the jacket does is give the stud a but of a twinkle. It’s a way to standout a bit more and to add some uniqueness to your overall look.

Why else should you choose a pair? For starters, you will draw more attention to your eyes, ears and other facial features. Not only that, but you’ll actually feel like a queen wearing these.

3. Sapphires In Blue

Like all brides, you’ll want something that is blue, and this is why Blue Sapphire is a must. What you can do is wear a Diamond/sapphire Band on your right hand. If you would rather earrings, then go for Sapphire studs, but we suggest wearing a sapphire band because it will be more visible to your guests.

There’s plenty of ways to wear Blue Sapphire and to incorporate it with your accessories. Speak with your jeweler and they can give you some ideas. One of the best things about wearing Blue Sapphire on your big day is you will have something to hand down to the next generation. Think of it as being a heirloom.

4. Rose Gold Jewelry

Rose Gold has always been a popular color for weddings, so make sure you get a piece of it for your big day. You can’t go wrong with wearing a Rose Gold necklace or even a bracelet, which is recommended if you want to do something different.

If you have the budget and you want to do something a lot different, then purchase a few Rose Gold rings. Wear them all on your other hand, or you can opt for 2-3 rings to wear. However, it’s a good idea to wear a ring on each finger because this will optimize your look.

5. Lariat Necklace

The last to make it onto our list are Lariat necklaces, which is ideal for those who are going to wear a dress with a low cut back or a neckline that plunges. These types of necklaces sparkle and they blend in well with low cut dresses or dresses with a low-plunge neckline. If you’re not a fan of gold necklaces, then don’t worry because you can buy them in sterling silver.

Those are the top five luxury bridal jewelry pieces you should consider buying. Sure, there are many other pieces out there, but nothing really compares to the above. Don’t forget to start browsing and comparing pieces well ahead of time, that way you can place your order and receive your pieces in time. Good luck on whatever pieces you decide to buy.
