Budget Friendly Alternative Engagement Rings

Who says you have to get a solitaire diamond for an engagement ring. Whether you are not crazy about the cookie cutter diamond engagement rings or you want to get a glamorous look in a small budget, these non-traditional and alternative engagement ring styles are just for you! 


The 3-Stone Ring That is Not a 3-Stone Ring  


This ring looks like a traditional "past-present&future" engagement ring however it is actually made out of 3 sections of multiple diamonds set as one diamond in the middle and a micro prong set halo surrounding it. 

Center portion is slightly larger than the 2 side sections.  





Here is another version of the same concept with a double halo, surrounding the center diamond in each section. 




It looks very substantial and beautiful. 





Vintage style 3-Stone Ring

This ring is a very elegant piece with bezel and pave set diamonds, milgrain around the edges and hand carved shank which creates an "antique" finish. 





For Bling Lovers...


Here is a super sparkly style with 3 half-bezel set diamonds and micro prong set round brilliant halo with a split shank. 




Something Completely Unique... 

How about a 3 stone solitaire, placed in the center of a "cigar" band with a lattice design. 



Radiant Halo

If you like halo engagement rings but don't want to spend a fortune on a solitaire diamond for the center, a neutral colored gemstone such as green amethyst is the perfect choice for you. This particular diamond ring has a radiant shape diamond halo and a light multifaceted green amethyst. 



Larger Than Life Halo

This ring is a gigantic version of the classic gemstone-diamond halos. 

It looks absolutely amazing on finger. 



Underwater Ring

An amazing creation from Gary Azatyan that is hand crafted in 18kt white and yellow gold, centered by a natural white quartz and a slice of turquoise underneath, which creates the "underwater effect". The ring is encrusted with exquisite quality pave set round brilliant cut diamonds all around in 1.00ct total weight.  


The side view is museum worthy! 




An Ancient Tale  

How about a style from Roman Empire times? This ring contains white and yellow diamonds, clustered in the center of a twisted rope halo. There is a royal charm about it... 




Stackables


There is nothing traditionally bridal about stackable rings but hey, isn't that the purpose? These tri-color diamond stackables would last a lifetime!



Classic with a Twist

 How about a tanzanite or Ceylon blue sapphire as a center stone, instead of a diamond? 

Add a pop of royal blue to your bridal ring with a beautiful gemstone that goes with anything you wear and still stands out as a unique piece. 





Byzantine Influence

We love love the eccentricity of this ring! It is hand-made with a cabochon cut sapphire and 6 bezel set round brilliant cut diamonds. 



If you want to jazz it up even more, you can go with a boldly designed diamond "bubble" ring as a wedding band. 



If the above option is too crazy, a simpler version of the wedding band is also available. 




Some Like it Hot

How about a hot pink sapphire and diamond engagement ring? Actually pink sapphire engagement rings are quite popular between edgy brides. They are very elegant yet stylish and remarkable. 


Here it is paired with a sapphire diamond alternating wedding band. 




Here is another spectacular pink sapphire diamond engagement ring designed by OKG Jewelry. 



Straight Outta Buckingham 

This ring reminds us Lady Diana's (Now Princess Kate's) world wide known engagement ring, yet it is different than anything out there since it was designed by OKG Jewelry's exlusive designer Gary Azatyan. The matching earrings are phenomenal as well. 

Golden Dream 

Substantial Citrine and diamond ring, hand-crafted in 14kt two tone gold, centered by a 5.43ct tw cushion shape, checkerboard cut, multifaceted natural Citrine, surrounded by 28ct round brilliant cut .12ct tw pave set diamonds, created in a beautiful vintage cocktail ring style.
