As of late, unique engagements rings have been trending as couples prioritize individuality and personality over trends. With celebrities like Charlotte Lawrence and Joey King embracing non-traditional styles and Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa embracing thick, chunky bands, it's not surprising that the general public would follow suit.
We’ve rounded up the most unique solitaire, cluster, three-stone, two-stone, non-diamond, and eternity rings to help you find “the one” that nobody else has.
While we’ll always cherish the classics, today we’ve curated the edgiest engagement ring trends alongside a rolodex of both emerging & established fine jewelry designers.
Solitaire Engagement Rings
Solitaire diamond rings traditionally showcase a solo stone in an uncomplicated setting. While these unique engagement rings offer the same focus on a singular diamond, they’re exceptional. So, they might inspire you to select a solitaire or to reset an heirloom stone.

Cluster Diamond Engagement Rings

Cluster settings typically envelop a significant stone from different angles or reframe one altogether. Here we’ve sourced a few varieties that will catch your eye (hopefully forever).
Ecksand Large Diamond Cluster Engagement Ring
When three-stone or two-stone settings aren’t enough, we’d recommend a four-stone piece like this one. This might even mark a momentous occasion or reason to upgrade if you’re welcoming an additional family member or celebrating a four-year anniversary.
VRAI Carnation Round Engagement Ring
The carnation flower is a symbol of love and devotion and this ring is a reflection of that sentiment. A round, oval, or cushion cut diamond is surrounded by smaller diamonds to form petals.

This Bridal Couture Emerald Cut Diamond Engagement ring features a marquise cluster and thick pave band. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.
Three-Stone Diamond Engagement Rings
A setting that took off during The Victorian Era evolves into the next century through these designs. A three-stone diamond or trilogy engagement ring might represent a couple’s past, present, and future. But, that doesn’t mean that to be timeless, they need to be tiresome. These options are amazing.

Two-Stone Diamond Engagement Rings
While two-stone engagement rings have risen in popularity over the past few years, they’re still always unique by design. With endless combinations, settings, and cuts to choose from, two will never be exactly alike. Otherwise known as Toi et Moi, which translates to “You & Me,” this style is also laden with romantic meaning. Since each one tells a different story, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite narratives to start.
Erstwhile Jewelry Toro et Moi Ring
This ring proves that it takes two for a person to become “the one.” There’s something undeniably unique about this shape sort of reminiscent of a knot.

Misahara Water Lily Ring
Misahara’s Water Lily Ring single-handedly proves that diamonds aren’t always a girl’s best friend. A 4ct emerald set in oxidized 18k yellow gold might make a better “best friends forever” accessory.
Diamondère Tenley Ring
An emerald-cut garnet in 18k yellow gold is worthy of a wedding proposal too. However, Diamondère has us coveting more than a few.

This prong-set oval pink sapphire on a rose gold band might just be the unique engagement ring you never knew you needed.
Marli Cleo Rev Slim Diamond Ring

Eternity Diamond Engagement Rings
An eternity band can also take the place of a two-stone, three-stone, or solitaire. When a unique “engagement ring” still feels too traditional, seek inspiration from a row or wrap of stones that carry just as much significance. Explore these shapes and styles for inspiration.
Anita Ko Wave Ring
This sculptural piece is a sparkler. With baguette-cut diamonds set in 18k gold it might just be the ideal eternity band. Luckily, it has enough shine to be a unique engagement ring too.

Chupi Crown of Sky Band
This Chupi Crown of Sky Band would typically wrap around a complementary band with a larger stone. But, we love how it looks on its own too. This is the type of unique engagement ring that will lay the foundation of a finger stack you can add to over time.
