50 Unique Wedding Rings and Engagement Rings

Here are some of the most beautiful unique wedding rings for inspiration. We love these interesting and non-conventional options for wedding bands.

How to Choose Your Wedding Ring

Brides are often told that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a unique wedding ring. Not every bride wants the traditional diamond ring, so open your mind to other options for wedding rings. 

It may be hard to choose exactly what kind of jewelry you want to wear for the rest of your life, so make sure you are making a good choice. You may like your unique ring now, but think about how you will have to wear the ring during your everyday lives. 

Choose a band and a stone that you will be comfortable with wearing often. You want your wedding ring to be a perfect match for you. You also want to make sure that your wedding ring is perfectly sized for your hand. If it is too tight or too loose, it may cause an embarrassing moment at the altar or cause you to lose the ring.  

While it’s common to wear wedding rings on your left hand ring finger, determine this in advance so the fit is right!

You also want to keep in mind that your wedding band should go well with your engagement ring. Some brides choose to have a matching wedding ring and engagement ring. Check out engagement rings online to find more ideas, or browse our list below!
