Best Engagement Rings for Nature Lovers
Posted: Mar 21, 2014
Nature lovers rejoice! Betrothal rings celebrating the beauty of nature are back in fashion and are more stunning than ever. Some of the best engagement rings available these days are drawing inspiration from the natural world in the shape of exquisite flower motifs, floral settings, natural and un-treated gemstones and even raw uncut diamonds. The best engagement rings showcasing these lovely designs are coming from bespoke designers and their artistic talents.
Harnessing Mother Nature’s Art Work
There has been a significant rise in popularity of rough or un-cut diamonds. These stones are not the standard glitzy and sparkling stones that are frequently found on rings today. Conversely they hold a raw un-touched elegance that is exquisitely unique and pays homage to Mother Nature’s infinite knowledge and skill in creating a true natural beauty. Any gemstone can be used in its natural un-altered shape and is incredibly eye-catching. Rough diamonds can be found in varying shades but rough cut emeralds, amethysts and sapphires also look equally distinctive and equally stunning in their natural state.
Floral Influences
As exquisite as a rough cut gemstone is, it may not appeal to everyone. If a more dazzling and glamorous look is desired the options are endless. Floral settings are becoming more popular and create a delicate, pretty and ultra-feminine look. Daisies, roses and lilies have all inspired spectacular settings that enhance the finer attributes of gemstones such as their fire, brilliance and sparkle. Incorporating coloured gemstones into the design of a ring gives it an even more unique and playful look that cannot help but induce smiles from all who view it. Some of the best engagement rings from the art deco era and even earlier feature exquisite floral elements and are decorated with sparkling diamonds and coloured gemstones to enhance the look.
Nature Immortalized in Metal
Bespoke designers have also shown how expert metalwork skills and talent can incorporate the beauty of nature in the band and the setting. Filigree patterns are frequently designed to emulate vines, leaves and even branches. Similar effects can be created on the band itself, with rings made to look like interwoven branches or vines that are meant to symbolise a symbiotic relationship that will last for eternity.
It is agreed that the best engagement ring will be one that is completely unique and customised for the bride-to-be. Thankfully, Mother Nature has provided us and bespoke engagement ring designers with plenty of inspiration to fulfil any nature lover’s dreams and desires and create their perfect ring.
