Diamonds are not every girl’s best friend. Some women prefer to be more unique, or have a favorite color they’re rather have in an engagement ring instead of a traditional colorless gem. Non-diamond engagement rings are a stunning alternative that give couples the flexibility and variety to create a design that is meaningful to them.
Couples may choose a non-diamond ring for other reasons as well, including affordability ( semi-precious gems are typically cheaper than diamonds), sentimentality (using birthstones, for example), or simply personal preference. Regardless of the motivation, a non-diamond ring can be just as elegant as any traditional engagement ring.
Perhaps the most common reasons to choose gemstones for engagement rings rather than diamonds include their uniqueness, ethical issues with purchasing diamonds, their lower price, and the symbolism that other stones can offer.
Below is a gallery of lovely diamond-alternative e-rings (I have an amethyst myself!). Read more on this subect here.
