Shopping for your engagement ring, like shopping for any type of jewelry, can be a long and tedious task — especially if you’re planning to invest a sum of money into it. After all, your engagement ring is an extension of you and your personal style, and it should be special. Though the option to have a custom-made design for your ring is always available, there are also a number of indie engagement ring designers who have beautiful styles fit for any type of bride — especially if you consider yourself to be on the non-traditional end.
Sure, you can turn to classic brands, but looking to independent designers in addition will give you an endless amount of choices for your engagement ring. Plus, knowing that you’ll have a more intimate shopping experience, your ring will feel even more remarkable. And let’s be real, having a cool engagement ring from a unique designer is always a plus.
Whether you’re searching for a ring that feels both classic and modern, or you want something completely unexpected, these designers will have something that will feel as if it’s made for you (that is, if you don’t go the custom route). Scroll down to see the indie designers who are creating the chicest engagement rings that you have to see — you’ll get excited just by looking at them.
