What to Look for When Choosing a Uniquely-Shaped Engagement Ring

Metal

The metal that is chosen for your forever ring can largely contribute to the distinct look of a uniquely-shaped engagement ring. You may decide to select a metal that blends in with your stone or acts as a sharp contrast. "For those with sensitivities, platinum is best. If you can wear yellow, rose, or white gold, consider the metal color that will complement your gemstone most," suggests Lorraine Brantner.

Cut

When it comes to the cut of your uniquely-shaped stone, it's usually best to play a little dress up! We won't argue with that. "Try on different center-stone shapes to see what looks best on your hand. You may like the look of a princess or cushion center stone in pictures, but find that you prefer how an oval or pear complements your finger," Brantner says.

Style

"Consider your lifestyle and any jewelry that you already own," Brantner says. While uniquely-shaped engagement rings are undoubtedly striking and stunning, elaborate features may become obtrusive. Ensure that the cut and style of your engagement ring accommodates activities that you will regularly partake in when wearing your bling.
