There are several types of unusual 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. 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 rings – these are pretty yet unique engagement rings that not many people have nowadays. The usual 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 – in several different cultural communities in North America, women will wear three bands of unusual engagement rings. These three bands can be interpreted as an engagement ring, a wedding ring and 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 seen only in one geographical area.

Puzzle engagement rings – these unusual engagement rings are available in a range of variety. Grooms in Greece give their beloveds a beautiful puzzle ring that has to be solved by her. These unusual rings come with three interlocking rings, which create a new and unusual design when separated.

Interlocking engagement rings – men in Russia tend to give their women interlocking rings of 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 easy to find and were really affordable too. A visit to a flea market will ensure that you get engagement rings that are unusual, beautiful and affordable. 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.
