The past five years has seen a new dawn in the age of bridal with fresh faced designers indulging the modern boho bride with some of the most avant garde wedding dresses we’re likely to see for a long time. While wedding fashion has embraced this altogether more casual and experimental take on the Big Day, there was one very significant item that took a little longer to catch up; the engagement ring.
We know that while choosing the perfect diamond is an exciting, joyous time for most brides-to-be, it can send some costume-jewellery clad lassies into a bit of a tizzy – how on earth am I going to pull off an elegant, sophisticated high set diamond with my beloved sunburst House of Harlow cocktail ring protruding from my index finger?! Boho brides weren’t exactly being catered for, and often had to pay through the nose for some bespoke bijoux or spend months (or years) seeking out a unique antique they could call their own (only to enjoy the following few months explaining how it constitutes an engagement ring to every Tom, Dick and Harry they met). But things have moved on, peeps, and finding an engagement ring that suits your already heavily-invested-in hand isn’t such a chore anymore. Don’t believe us? Check out some of our unique and unusual findings below, with engagement rings ranging in prices from bargain to blow-out and styles from simple to stacked. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
