My boyfriend keeps asking me what kind of ring I would want. I have never been a huge fan of diamonds. I have noticed that more and more people now get a colored stone with small diamonds around it or just a band. I really want an engagement ring, but would perfer something non-traditional, maybe blue. Has anyone done this or would you do this? What do you think?

A few years ago I got a ‘promise ring’ from my boyfriend, it is very simple with small diamonds in it. I love it, but there are hundreds of rings out there just like it.

We have been discussing marriage and looking at rings lately, and I have come to decide that I dont really want a diamond engagement ring!

We have decided on the ring (mostly), I got to help with some of the major decisions, and now he is tweaking it to make it a special and unique ring. We are having the engagement ring and wedding bands both custom made by a wonderful jeweler. We have chosen a gemstone (tourmaline) that has significant meaning to both of us, and the particular stone we have on hold is beautiful!

I know the ring doesnt make the marriage, nor does the stone. But does anyone else have a non traditional ring? What do people have to say about it? Are you always explaining the ring?

Engagement rings need not always contain diamonds. Popular trends include using gemstones as sidestones as well as other precious stones.
