As the most popular stone used in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/engagement-rings\/c\">engagement ring designs<\/a>, diamonds are classically beautiful and full of meaning. However, they are not the <em>only <\/em>choice for engagement rings. Whether you\u2019re looking for a more affordable option, something colorful, or just want to explore what\u2019s out there, these alternatives to diamond rings are certainly gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-colorful-sapphires\">1.

Once thought to bring spiritual enlightenment, sapphires are rated a 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, meaning they\u2019re exceptionally durable and will last a long time in your ring. While traditional sapphires are usually thought of as blue, Shane Co. carries over a dozen colorful shades of sapphires, ranging from bright yellow to sultry black and everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-aquamarine\">2. Aquamarine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A newly popular stone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/gemstone-jewelry\/c\/aquamarine\">aquamarine<\/a> shines a light blue and will look gorgeous with any engagement ring setting. Named after the ocean because of its calming color, aquamarine is strong enough to wear as a ring, though not as strong as diamond or sapphire, rated a 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale. It was often used by fishermen for protection at sea and is perfect for a unique look, even if you\u2019re not a big swimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-morganite\">3.

This gorgeous peachy-pink gemstone looks beautiful with every skin tone, creates a romantic, rose-like feel, and works particularly well with vintage and halo-style rings. Also rated a 7.5-8, it will hold up for everyday wear, especially if you\u2019re taking good care of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-ruby\">4.

Shane Co. rubies, like all our gemstones, are hand-picked to ensure the highest quality and depth of color. Bring out the exceptional color of your ruby by surrounding it with a halo of sparkling diamonds. Like sapphires, rubies rate a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making them remarkably durable for long-term wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-amethyst\">5.

This rich stone is a beautiful option if you\u2019re looking for something a little more out of the box. While Shane Co. doesn\u2019t carry loose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/fashion-rings\/c\/amethyst\">amethyst gemstones<\/a> for use in engagement ring settings, we have plenty of amethyst fashion rings that can easily be worn as an engagement ring. Just remember that amethyst is only a 7 on the Mohs scale, so you may have to take a little more care when choosing when to wear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-white-sapphires\">6. White Sapphires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer the look of diamonds because of their ability to match with everything, but are worried about the size of your budget, try choosing a white sapphire as a center stone for your engagement ring. These sparkling beauties offer the same clean look as a diamond at a much lower price point. They\u2019re strong, simple, and sparkly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s no surprise that at Shane Co., we love natural diamonds.
