Why a Fantasy Engagement Ring Is Perfect for a Holiday Proposal

The holiday season is a time that we all associate with magic – even when you’ve grown out of traditions like Santa. There’s a childlike wonder that surrounds winter with a feeling of nostalgia, which is captured in the designs of our fantasy-inspired engagement rings. These alternative designs reimagine classic silhouettes through an eccentric lens, envisioning the kind of ring you might see on the hand of a heroine like Éowyn or a Targaryen Queen.

Each fantasy ring tells a story, reimagining designs to make them look as if they’ve been made in an elven castle, inspired by everything from medieval crowns to celestial halos. Fantasy and ‘fairycore’ jewelry is an emerging trend for 2026 proposals and the perfect choice for a couple searching for a unique engagement ring.
