Try a Different Band Style
Many engagement rings have a similar band style, of a single band often of silver or gold. Sometimes they might feature some smaller diamonds, but they can all look similar.
To make your ring stand out, you could try picking a different band style. You might like a ring with a twisted band, which represents your endless love. There are many variations for this, including two-tone bands or using different metals. You could also look at bands with more complicated knot work.
You could also try something alternative to the conventional circle band. Something that mirrors nature, such as leaf or vine bands could also be a stunning choice. A similar idea is to have a band inspired by an animal, such as a bird or dolphin.
Opt for Alternative Stones
Choosing a different stone or a colored gem can make unique engagement rings for women. If you know that they have a favorite color or birthstone, this could be a useful guiding factor.
There are many options such as turquoise cabochons, pearl, opal, or lapis lazuli. You could also try a ring setting that incorporates different stones. Settings that will suit this type of ring are a three-stone, cluster, halo, or bar setting.
Shake Up the Cut
There are so many different ring cuts available, that there is no need to stick to the most popular. Here are some of the options that you could choose from, or even mix and match!
- Oval
- Heart
- Radiant
- Pear
- Marquise

You could even match your cut to an interest of theirs. You could choose a flower or even something fun like Disney or Harry Potter-themed ring!
Antique and Vintage Rings
