Classic round diamond solitaires may have once been synonymous with getting engaged but we’re seeing a shift towards non-solitaire designs when it comes to wedding ring shopping – it’s a deeply personal purchase, after all, and many modern brides want to give theirs a bit more sparkling personality.
Some may even opt do away with diamonds entirely, and instead, look to materials like pearls, moonstones, tanzanite and other precious stones.
If you’re more the unconventional type, these iterations allude to more wearable engagement rings that can easily transition between big day jewellery and every day accessories.

German jewellery brand Niessing celebrates 100 years of Bauhaus with four new lines that make up the Niessing Ring Bauhaus and Architecture collections.

It’s presented with round brilliant-cut, square princess-cut and triangular trilliant-cut diamonds – an eclectic play on shapes and structures for couples in search of unique pieces to wear forever.
