4 Showstopping Unique Engagement Rings to Shop In 2025

Introduction

An engagement ring is the equivalent of Cinderella’s glass slipper. You want to choose a ring that’s the perfect fit, encapsulating your love story and reflecting your personal style. It’s one of the reasons why non-traditional engagement rings have become one of the biggest bridal trends for 2025. 

Alternative engagement rings allow you to buy an heirloom as unique as your story. Whether you’re at the start of your search or have been secretly saving ring inspiration pictures on Pinterest for years, you’ll have probably seen some common trends - the timeless solitaire, the ‘Princess Diana’ ring, and perhaps an emerald cut.

Our ethical engagement rings are created for the dreamers, those who love to think – and live – outside the box. We’re sharing four unique engagement rings to help you pop the question in 2025.
