How about a little bit of sparkly eye candy to kick off Friday? We know many of our readers are not engaged quite yet, but may be on the lookout for their dream engagement ring, so we love showing y’all some of the gorgeous designs that come across our inboxes. I have three fabulous ring designers to introduce you to today…and too many Pinterest-worthy sparklers to count!

I know “something different” is a top priority for many brides-to-be, and especially if you’re inspired by heirloom-worthy styles, Gerard Leon could be a great source for you. Gerard Leon is a curated collection of vintage and antique rings–their collection of Art Deco rings is especially stunning!

P.S. Recognize the florals peeking out behind these rings? It’s our Blooming Belles feature from V7–so fun! We love the creative backdrop for a ring photo!

In the same way that a trip to a big city can make all the difference when you’re looking for your dream wedding dress, the ring of your dreams can sometimes mean a plane ride to a celebrated jewelry destination. Bridal Rings Company is a must-visit location for engagement rings in Los Angeles‘ jewelry district–just look at how many memorable and different settings they offer!

Last, but certainly not least, Jean Pierre Jewelers is a designer retail store located in Woodland Hills, California. The family-owned company creates engagement rings that make a fabulous statement–those emerald beauties are fit for a modern day Scarlett O’Hara, don’t you think?

I’d love to know, which of these rings caught your eye the most? I’d have to go with the Jean Pierre Jewelers oval beauty in the photo at the bottom left!

Unique Engagement Ring Styles

by in Sponsor Love on

This post is brought to you by Zales Jewelers – thanks for your support of the brands that make Southern Weddings possible!

As y’all may have seen on Instagram, I recently took a whirlwind trip to New York City to chat about one of my favorite topics for Southern Weddings TV–engagement rings! I’ve had a ring on my left hand for almost a year now (crazy!!), but seeing it still takes me right back to the moment when I was looking at my handsome fiancé on one knee through teary eyes and I caught sight of my ring for the very first time. I had given Dave very little direction, and thankfully, he picked out something perfect for me regardless, but I do think there’s a lot of value in knowing what kind of ring you want, especially if you’re looking for something particularly unique. I loved sharing a few of my current favorite unique ring styles from Zales Jewelers in this video!

Let’s take a closer look at a few of these styles, shall we?

Composite rings, in which the “center stone” is made up of a grouping of smaller stones, create a dramatic look with tons of sparkle, but at an affordable price point. As much as we love all things traditional at Southern Weddings, we also love seeing rings that are a little bit unusual, and composite rings often remind me of the vintage pieces my grandmother may have worn. If you’re not a vintage-loving bride though, never fear–composite rings also come in beautiful, modern settings.

I’m sure y’all will agree with me when I say that having a signature color is a very Southern thing–Shelby’s blush and bashful in Steel Magnolias, anyone? If you have a sentimental connection or special tie to a certain color or gemstone, I love the idea of making your ring more “you” by incorporating colored stones–either through colored diamonds or gemstones.

Clockwise from top left: Diamond and Blue Sapphire Swirl Ring in 14k white gold, Yellow and White Quad Diamond Ring in 14K white gold, Oval Enhanced Pink Diamond Ring in platinum and 18K rose gold, Green and White Diamond Pavé Framed Engagement Ring in 14K white gold

For a ring that’s glamorous and different, but that will still be as stylish on your 50th anniversary as it is today, fancy shapes are a lovely option. This just refers to a diamond shape that isn’t your standard round or princess (my personal favorites are cushion, oval, and emerald). If this is a look you’re considering, pay special attention to the tip I gave in the video–it’s important!

Zales is now holding their Semi-Annual Bridal Sale until November 6–just in time for your beau to pick something up before the start of engagement season! I can’t tell y’all how many brides we’ve heard from whose grooms checked their gal’s Pinterest boards before buying a ring, so if you love these styles as much as I do, don’t be afraid to pin your favorites! ;)
