Choose Some Unusual Engagement Rings For Your Beloved

There are several types of engagement rings. Just as clothing choices are different, there are also people who will make and design unusual engagement rings that are just right for you. Each person's choice is unique, and you will find that you can choose from several great designs if you have the time to look for the one that is right for you. Here are a few of the most unusual engagement rings that I have come across:

Claddagh rings - these are pretty but unusual engagement rings that not many people have nowadays. 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 fell out of favor 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 - in several different cultural communities in North America, women will wear three bands of unusual engagement rings. One will be an engagement ring, the second a wedding ring and the third is referred to as an eternity band. These bands are also given as a part of a wedding set. These are really unusual engagement rings in design as they are found only in one geographical area.

Puzzle engagement rings - these are one really great variety of unusual engagement rings. Grooms in Greece give their beloveds a wonderful puzzle ring that has to be solved by her. These rings are made of three interlocking rings that have to be separated out to create a completely new unusual engagement ring design.

Interlocking unusual engagement rings - men in Russia tend to give their women interlocking rings of three different colored metals. Rose gold, silver and yellow gold are used to show love, chastity and fidelity of the groom towards the bride.

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