To that effect, vintage resale is also a fantastic way to imbue your band with meaning, even if you don’t know anything about its previous owner. This longstanding tradition keeps familial artifacts in, well, the family - and the stories behind them alive through multiple generations. If you are lucky enough to have an heirloom piece within either side of the family, this is perhaps the easiest way to find a ring that no one else has. One way to ensure your engagement ring stands out? Go for an antique design. “It feels so special and unique, and I can't tell you how many compliments I've had!”

“I really encourage everyone to consider unconventional engagement rings,” Jamie Holloway, Head of Brand Communications at Everlane, tells TZR. In speaking with the couples, everyone had their own reasons for wanting a less traditional ring. To that end, TZR has tapped a few stylish couples to share their personal experience searching for and finding an out-of-the-box option.

And while searching for the perfect band of your or your partner's dreams can seem somewhat daunting - it is, after all, a piece of jewelry meant to be worn everyday, with everything - it’s also thrilling to find something completely distinct in the sea of simple solitaire and halo diamond bands. Now more than ever, couples are looking for unique nontraditional engagement rings to make a statement of love and commitment to each other, rather than going with more expected styles.
