Colored engagement rings are the perfect alternative to traditional diamond solitaires and add extra personality to an already special ring. Most of the following rings include traditional white diamonds, as well, so you truly can have the best of both worlds!

This gorgeous engagement ring is crafted from 18k white gold and can be designed to hold the center diamond you choose. Brilliantly accenting the center stone are two gorgeous sapphires followed by two smaller diamonds for an engagement ring that is as beautiful as she is!

Forgo the traditional white diamond altogether and opt for this three-stone black diamond engagement ring instead! Crafted from 10K  white gold, the ring includes a 1/2 CT of enhanced black diamonds for a look that’s truly unique.

I love the style of this gorgeous art deco engagement ring! An 18K white gold band encompasses a gorgeous step cut natural ruby with plenty of smaller diamonds accenting the band. If you love art deco jewelry, this engagement ring is perfect for you.

This antique-inspired engagement ring features a beautiful peridot enclosed in a secure 6-prong setting with four round diamonds accenting the band (which is crafted from platinum!) I personally love the intricate filigree pattern on the sides of the band – I think it adds an extra splash of personality, for sure!

For a unique engagement ring, consider colored stones in addition (or in place of) traditional white diamonds. Don’t be surprised if people stop you on the street to admire your gorgeous ring!
