See More Photos

The recent Meghan and Harry engagement has everyone talking vintage diamonds, but we’re a sucker for a good, glitzy ring any day of the week. While platinum solitaires are always a favourite among brides-to-be, some prefer to opt for something a little different. We’ve over 40 gorgeous alternative engagement rings to choose from, just to give you some ideas before you decide on this most important purchase. Whether you’re more into cushion cuts or teardrop diamonds, whether you want yellow gold or a striking, vintage sapphire, you’ll find more than enough inspiration here, before you go ring shopping. This is certainly one to bookmark for the other half following any romantic gestures over the festive season or, better still, why not treat yourself?
