Traditionally, a groom to be would propose to his intended with a classic diamond set yellow or white gold engagement ring. Nowadays, an increasing amount of younger couples are looking for new and innovative ways in which to mark their upcoming nuptials. Gone are the days of the traditional diamond set engagement ring as, these days, young couples are opting for unique, unconventional pieces of jewelry for their engagement such as stud earrings, wedding rings doubling as engagement rings and trinity diamond engagement pendants.
Engagement diamond stud earrings
Stud earrings are not your run of the mill engagement ring jewelry, which is what makes them so popular with the younger demographic. Stud earrings are a great alternative to the classic diamond set engagement ring in that diamond stud earrings are arguably just as impressive in appearance as diamond set engagement rings, yet they are significantly more affordable than the conventional diamond encrusted engagement ring. In addition to their relative affordability, diamond stud earrings' elegance and tasteful appearance makes them the perfect option for those couples who are looking for more understated pieces of engagement jewelry. Also, diamond stud earrings are a great option for couples who couldn't be bothered with wearing a ring on their ring finger and who would feel more comfortable with earrings.
Wedding rings doubling as engagement rings
It is not altogether uncommon for wedding bands to double as engagement rings. Historically, wedding rings were left relatively plain and were composed of a single, unadorned gold band. Of late, wedding rings have begun to resemble engagement rings in that wedding rings are now being adorned with diamonds and/or precious gemstones, made with a variety of precious metals and crafted in unique and complex patterns and designs. By buying a wedding band that also doubles as an engagement ring couples can save on buying two separate pieces by buying.
Trinity diamond engagement pendant
Trinity diamond engagement pendants are a modernized take on the classic diamond trinity engagement ring. The trinity diamond engagement pendant features three consecutively set diamonds which are meant to represent the past, present and future stages in a couple's relationship. Imbued with sentimentality, this stunning diamond encrusted trinity pendant is great for those couples who are interested in unconventional engagement jewelry instilled with a hint of tradition and sentiment. This pendant is especially alluring since, similar to stud earrings, the diamond trinity pendant is relatively more affordable than a diamond trinity engagement ring, simply because diamond engagement rings are generally valued at higher than any other type of diamond jewelry featuring a similar total diamond carat weight as diamond engagement rings are increasingly popular commodities.
