Ashley’s Trend Report: Non-Diamond Engagement Rings<\/p>\n

If you’re a hopeful bride-to-be reading our weekly trend reports (don’t be ashamed, I totally searched for so much wedding inspo & read numerous magazines <\/span>months <\/span>before ever getting a ring myself) this week’s trend report is tailored to you! From the red carpet on Halle Berry to your <\/span>neighborhood jewelers<\/span><\/a>, non-diamond engagement rings are appearing everywhere.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I love, love, love this trend! Not only has it been around for a while (and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon), it also has two amazing reasons for you to jump on board: money & meaning. <\/p>\n

\"Untitled_design_63.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s tackle one of the main reasons brides end up going this route: to save money. Gem stones are often rare, but less expensive than diamonds. Counterintuitive, right?! But still true! One of my favorite ways to still get a classic engagement ring look, but have a rare ring, is to go with a white sapphire! What’s crazy is they’re usually cheaper than blue sapphires, but even more unique. Other alternative stones I’m crushing on lately are quartz, rubies and morganites!\n<\/p>\n

Another way to not break-the-bank, but get a gorgeous engagement ring is to go for a man-made diamond. These are popping up everywhere and can be up to 30% cheaper than a real diamond, and the best part, they look the exact same! Not only are they less expensive, they also eliminate the chances of violating human-rights, child labor, and destroying the environment by mining methods. <\/p>\n

The second reason I love the idea of a non-diamond engagement ring is the meaning behind many gemstones. Going this route can really SAY something, checkout these meanings: <\/p>\n

Agate:<\/b> truth, protection, strength
Apatite: <\/b> communication, and the blending of the old and the new
Aquamarine: <\/b> courage to overcome fears, protection on journeys
Blue topaz: <\/b> courage to overcome fears and obstacles “” associated with fidelity, friendship, gentleness, and integrity
Garnet: <\/b> passionate commitment and devotion
Onyx: <\/b> thought to deflect the negativity of others “” associated with determination and perseverance
Opal: <\/b> love, passion, lightness, inspiration, creativity, and spontaneity
Rose quartz: <\/b> gentle love, peace, and calm “” associated with the removal of negativity and the healing of emotional wounds
Ruby: <\/b> friendship, fire, love, royalty, happiness, the opening of the heart
Turquoise: <\/b> friendship “” associated with nature (the blue sky and green earth)\n<\/p>\n
