"With this ring i thee wed."
The smallest most meaningful symbol of you and your fiance's love and commitment to one another. When you mention engagement ring most people think of a big fat diamond ring. Now a days that is not necessarily the case. Non-traditional engagement rings are the new trend. When i say non-traditional this is what i mean.
The rings you see above are stunning. Each one holds such a unique value to them. Not only are these rings cheaper than diamonds, but you can make them your own. Add your personality into your ring. You are probably thinking, "really how am I going to find a ring like that?"

- Ask your grandma, mom, aunt etc. I am sure they have an old ring laying around that they would be honored for you to use the gems in it for your engagement ring.
