Raw Stone Engagement Rings
Instead of selecting a perfectly shaped and cut gemstone, consider a raw stone. They are more uniquely shaped, as they are perfectly imperfect.

If your partner is more of the deep and classic type, perhaps you’d rather gift a dark stone like a black sapphire or onyx instead of a diamond.
Bezel Setting Engagement Rings
When looking for a way to make your ring choice more unique, consider choosing a unique setting such as the bezel.
