There are several types of engagement rings. Like with clothes, with engagement rings also one can find people who can produce a ring just for you. Choices differ and, if one has the time, one can shop around for the right engagement ring. Here, I present some of the most unique engagement rings that I have seen:

Claddagh are beautiful and unique engagement rings, which unfortunately are not owned by many people today. The typical pattern consists of two hands holding a heart and capped with a crown. These unusual engagement rings were made in gold or silver and were used by the Irish to signify love for their betrothed. Over the ages, these unusual engagement rings lost their popularity and are no longer used, but you will can still find one as a vintage or antique ring if you check with the right dealers.

Eternity bands – It is a common practice among many North American cultural communities to wear unusual engagement rings in the form of three bands. One will be an engagement ring, the second a wedding ring and the third is referred to as an eternity band. Sometimes, these bands form a part of the wedding set. These unusual engagement rings are seen in only one geographical area.

Puzzle engagement rings – these unusual engagement rings are available in a range of variety. In Greece, grooms give their fiancées puzzle rings which she has to then solve. These unusual rings come with three interlocking rings, which create a new and unusual design when separated.

Interlocking unusual engagement rings – Russian women get unusual interlocking rings made with three different colored metals. The use of silver, rose gold and yellow gold in these rings signify chastity and fidelity of the groom.

Antique unusual engagement rings are found in flea markets, where you will find an eclectic mix of designs. You will be able to choose from several different designs that were created by men for their much loved women. A few of the more unusual engagement rings design that I came across were silver and jade rings that were engraved with the lady’s name, cameo rings that had lovely opals set in the center of the ring, art deco rings that were pretty to look at but were extremely expensive, Cartier tank rings that were a little shabby but set in silver, gold and amber rings that were really pretty to look at with small insects stuck forever inside the amber, Mother’s rings that were inscribed with names and genealogies of several generations of women wearing the same ring, and family rings that had the family crest on them.

These unusual engagement rings designs were available and were really inexpensive too. Take a good look at flea markets to find really wonderful designs that are affordable and unique. Of course, remember to take your fiancée along with you or you could end up with a ring that she does not really like at all.
