We already know that your soulmate is one-of-a-kind, so why should your engagement ring be any different? 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 Diamond 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.
Oval Wave Diamond Ring
A singular solitaire stone can still sit on multiple bands.This ring is bold but romantic. Its dual gold tone setting gives the oval cut diamond even more presence too.

Berlingot 9K White Gold Ring
White gold hugs a singular stone in this chic solitaire setting by Yvonne Leon. Its vintage influences somehow make it modern too.

Sadie Solitaire Ring
Jade Trau has mastered the art of negative space in all her work–and this Sadie Solitaire Ring is no exception. While a solitaire round cut or pear cut diamond might seem more common, in this ring it will literally float on top of your finger.
Jade Trau
$3,650
Platinum Diamond Heart Engagement Ring
De Beers' exceptional diamond selection process puts this singular- stone setting at the top of our list. Also, it’s a heart-cut diamond. This sleek solitaire will stand out.
De Beers Jewellers
$13,600
Ella Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
Katie Mok
Price Upon Request
This bezel set cushion cut stone has all of the impact of a halo. It’s a new take on a familiar look. So, while this ring is slightly distinct, it’s still timeless.
Single Stone
Cluster Diamond Engagement Rings
Sometimes, one diamond just doesn't say enough–or, pave halos might not reflect your style. Enter: 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).
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.
Ecksand
$13,803
The Portrait 18K White Gold Diamond Ring
Portrait- cut diamonds are a rare choice for an engagement ring and here they’re also wrapped with rose- cut stones. As VAK’s Vishal Kothari only releases 120 pieces a year, each one is bound to fit the brief when you’re sourcing an engagement ring that is “unique.”
Vak
$68,000
Art Deco Sunrise Ring
A round cut diamond defies the classification of “simple” in this Sunrise Ring. The baguette set crown serves as a half-halo too.
Marrow
$6,550
Pre-owned 18k Retro Paris Diamond Bombé Ring
This Cartier- domed diamond ring manages to be modern and retro at once. A bombé ring will bring all of the allure of the ‘80s into the reality of your romance in the future too. With 3.5 carats of round cut diamonds, we can’t imagine saying “no” to this one.
Cartier
$153,279
Bridal Couture Emerald-Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
Price Upon Request
Harry Winston proves that even the most sought after stones, like 5.51 carat emerald cut diamonds, can stand apart in the right setting. 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.
Harry Winston
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.
Jigsaw Sloan Ring
Price Upon Request
This isn’t your grandmother’s three-stone engagement ring. It’s beyond epic. As this Briony Raymond Jigsaw Sloan Ring connects a two-stone and a solitaire, it serves as an engagement ring and wedding band in one.
Briony Raymond
Platinum Emerald-cut Three-diamond Ring
Traditional three-stone rings typically showcase a larger center stone flanked by two smaller diamonds. So, we love how this Neiman Marcus estate ring showcases emerald cut diamond triplets instead. The design creates a continuous look with a mirrored effect. In a word, it’s slightly different from what everyone else in the room is wearing.
NM Estate
$41,500
Multishape 3-Diamond Statement Solid Ring
In this ring, three diamond shapes come together for one statement piece. We love how this ring will stack with pave bands. Each diamond can also represent a different meaning.
770 Fine Jewelry
$2,795
18K Rose Gold 3-Stone Diamond Engagement Ring
A classic setting gets a modern upgrade in rose gold here. Also, a radiant brings the flash of brilliant faceting with the angles of an emerald. This is the unique engagement ring that even a more risk averse style seeker can rock.
1st Dibs
$7,720
Diamond Baguette and Shield Gypsy Ring
If you’re in the market for a different type of engagement ring, this is an epic choice. Between the bold setting and shield cut diamonds, it’s unapologetically unique.
Brent Neale
$12,000
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.
Knot Heart Diamonds & 18kt Gold Ring
Katie Mok
This ring proves that it takes two for a person to become “the one.” There’s something undeniably romantic about these two-heart diamonds embracing in a knot of 18k yellow gold.
Brent Neale
$7,626
Mini Pear-Emerald Two-Stone Ring
Stephanie Gottlieb is the industry leader that brought the Toi et Moi style back onto center stage. In this design, like so many of her others, she’s mastered the perfect pear tilt too.
Stephanie Gottlieb
$4,500
Toi et Moi Diamond Ring
Whether you’re opting for a more understated design or dreaming of thick gold settings, you can say “yes” to this one. It features a cushion and a pear.
Mejuri
$2,200
Marquise Open Diamond Ring
This unique engagement ring makes a case for marquise cut diamonds. It also lets the stones embrace into the finger. In other words, it’s romantic–and amazing.
Reframed Jewelry
$4,150
Emerald-Cut Shaker Diamond Ring
With a two-stone design that dynamically frames the band with asymmetrically cut diamonds, this one stands apart. Mortiz Glik’s Kaleidoscope Shaker™ is a strong statement as a right-hand ring as well.
Moritz Glik
$13,900
Non-Diamond Engagement Rings
While natural diamonds are rare, non-diamond engagement rings can bring another element of individuality to a traditional life stage. Whether you’re more inspired by color or looking to incorporate a birthstone or personal meaning into an engagement ring, this list will inspire you.
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.
Misahara
$45,000
Hessonite Garnet Ring
An emerald-cut garnet in 18k yellow gold is worthy of a wedding proposal too. However, The One I Love has us coveting more than a few.
The One I Love
$2,200
18kt Rose Gold Masterpiece Sapphire & Diamond Ring
This rare cushion cut pink sapphire set in rose gold might just be the unique engagement ring you never knew you needed.
Pragnell
$53,893
Cleo Rev Slim Diamond Ring
While we’d style Marli NY any day, we’d also love it as a one-of-a-kind engagement ring. Whether amethyst is your birthstone or simply your favorite color, this Cleo ring is a showstopper.
Marli
$8,600
18k Yellow Gold Diamond Emerald Crossover Ring
This pear-shaped emerald crossover diamond ring makes a statement. There’s something indescribably independent about it too. It might stand for the individuality that’s even more important to maintain when coupled.
Jemma Wynne
$13,650
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.
Half & Half Ring
This sculptural piece is a sparkler. With recycled sustainable natural diamonds wrapped into 18k yellow gold, it might just be the ideal eternity band. Luckily, it has enough shine to be a unique engagement ring too.
Good May Come
$5,500
Duet Asymmetric Diamond Ring
This Kwiat Duet Asymmetric Diamond Ring doesn’t need a center stone to take center stage. Its engagement-worthy juxtaposition of emerald and round stones just stole our hearts forever.
Kwiat
$31,400
Wrap 18K Yellow Gold Diamond Ring
When you can’t pick a favorite diamond cut, turn to Sorellina to wrap them all into a gypsy setting. This ring combines varied sculptural elements into a gorgeous, cascading design.
Sorellina
$5,100
Bold Diamond Half Band
This Suzanne Kalan design is an unreplicated take on a classic, emerald eternity band. It’s bold and beautiful enough to wear leading up to your wedding day (and then every day after).
Suzanna Kalan
$6,000
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.
Chupi
$1,528
