We’re calling in all our ring-obsessed friends to take a look at some impossibly beautiful alternative engagement rings. If you can visualize something a bit more unique than the classic band combo for your big day, check out these sparkly and edgy non-traditional black-diamond rings.
1. ‘Lumiere’ Diamond Midi Ring ($440): This delicate charmer is sleek, stylish and unassumingly gorgeous. We want one, like, yesterday.
2. Black Gold Black Round-Cut Diamond Ring ($1,000): At first glance, this black beauty might appear to mimic the traditional style. But don’t be fooled. It’s anything but ordinary. Besides, black diamonds totally trump white ones in terms of style. There, we said it.
3. Paloma’s Sugar Stacks Ring ($3,650): This is one serious sparkler. Why settle for a single diamond when you can have a dazzling bon-bon-inspired pave design like this one?
4. Khai Khai Zigzag Arrow Ring ($750): Think outside the box with a whisper-thin arrow ring. Now might be the time to drop a few hints to your fiance about how much you’re in love with the zigzag style.

6. Double Black Diamond Ring ($448): Simply striking — it’s an alternative to the traditional wedding band without being too blingy.
