And while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditdonkey.com\/engagement-ring-statistics.html\">86%<\/a> of engaged couples opt for a traditional diamond engagement ring, that doesn\u2019t mean you have to, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of choosing an alternative engagement ring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some important pros to choosing a ring that marches to the beat of its own drum, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Price. <\/strong>Opting for a sapphire, ruby, gemstone or even pearl ring rather than a diamond gives you the opportunity to really manage and embrace your budget. Because these stones tend to come in at lower prices than diamonds, you can elect for a bigger size, more room for sparkle, or a unique setting without having to worry as much about the cost.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Uniqueness.<\/strong> Who really wants to be the same as everyone else, anyway? Forgoing the traditional ring styles gives you the opportunity to choose a ring that is truly one-of-a-kind. Whether that means adding lots of color, keeping it simple and sleek or drawing from your own well of inspiration, you can be sure your ring will stand out from the crowd.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Sentimentality.<\/strong> The thing about an engagement ring is that it\u2019s more than just a piece of jewelry \u2013 it\u2019s embedded with so much meaning, it can sometimes seem daunting to decide on the perfect one. Choosing something non-traditional means you can create a ring that speaks to you and your relationship with your partner completely.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Fun.<\/strong> Let\u2019s face it: picking a ring that may seem \u201cunusual\u201d to everyone else is just plain exciting. Not only will you have a beautiful piece, but you get an amazing story to tell all your friends. Whether they like your ring or not, don\u2019t worry! It\u2019s your memory (and jewelry) to treasure as long as your love.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our favorite picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Need some inspiration? These nontraditional rings will have you leaving your diamonds at the altar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/fashion-rings\/cocktail-rings\/citrine-and-diamond-ring-in-14k-rose-gold\/p\/41087259\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/untraditional_ers_blog_images_1.jpg\" alt=\"Citrine and Diamond Ring in 14k Rose Gold.\" class=\"wp-image-5639 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/untraditional_ers_blog_images_1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/untraditional_ers_blog_images_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/untraditional_ers_blog_images_1-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/untraditional_ers_blog_images_1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/untraditional_ers_blog_images_1-380x285.jpg 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/fashion-rings\/cocktail-rings\/citrine-and-diamond-ring-in-14k-rose-gold\/p\/41087259\">Citrine and Diamond Ring in 14k Rose Gold<\/a> is vibrant and eye-catching, with a gorgeous sunrise-inspired citrine gemstone and our signature shade of rose gold.
