Everything You Need to Consider When Designing a Unique Engagement Ring

Over the past few years our engaged couples are seeking a more unique ensign for their forever ring. The one question that is asked of us is ‘is choosing a unique design a good idea in the long run?

Choosing a unique design might feel like the perfect way to celebrate your love story, however it is to think through the practical and future aspects of such a ring. Over time our ring design preferences can change, styles may not always remain timeless, and factors like matching wedding bands can be problematic, all play a role in your decision.

Morgan & Co can help you strike the perfect balance between individuality and functionality. We recommend that taking time to explore your options is crucial to create the perfect unique ring.

Will I Love my Ring in 5 Years time?

The answer is that your preference in design may change over time. Just like fashion does, jewellery fashion will change also. A unique, trendy engagement ring that feels perfect in 2024 might not hold the same appeal in 2044. Will that unique diamond shape, size, design still be amazing, or will it remind you of a trend that seemed like a good idea at the time?

Maybe the answer is to consider choosing an engagement ring that grows with you — something classic with just enough difference to reflect your personality. This doesn’t mean you can’t choose a design with flair, but it’s worth thinking about how you’ll feel about your choice as trends change over the years. The last thing you want is an engagement ring that ends up a trend misstep, unique for its time, but not something you want to be wearing forever.

A unique engagement ring does not always equal timeless.

Its alluring to think of having a unique engagement ring, however it is important to distinguish between trendy and timeless. Take Tiffany’s solitaire diamond engagement ring, to this day it remains effortlessly chic and still in demand. On the flip side, a design rooted in a specific era can quickly turn into a “throwback,” whether you like it or not.

The advantage of going with something trendy is that it feels fresh and distinctive in the moment, allowing you to fully embrace your personal style. However, the downside is that trends change, and what’s popular today may not hold the same appeal years down the line. A timeless ring, by contrast, marries modern aesthetics with classic design elements, offering longevity. But the potential drawback is that it might not feel as unique or daring as a bold, trendy piece.
Now it's time to buy your wedding band for your unique engagement ring, this can be problematic.

At Morgan & Co, we strive to create engagement rings that perfectly blend timeless elegance with a unique touch, reflecting your personal style and individuality.

Your Wedding Band

You have chosen or designed your perfect unique engagement ring. But now comes the next challenge: finding or designing a wedding band to match. The more distinctive your engagement ring is, the harder it might be to find a wedding band that complements it seamlessly.

If you are drawn to the idea of a matching engagement and wedding ring set, or envision building a ring stack over time, it's worth considering this when choosing your engagement ring. At Morgan & Co we make sure that your wedding band is considered when designing unique engagement rings for our clients. We make sure that our clients understand the impact that different engagement ring band profiles, such as twisted bands, curved bands, chunky bands and flat bands can have on wedding band selection.
