(SPOT.ph) Nobody said an engagement ring had to be made of gold and diamonds to be worth something. If we really get into it, an engagement ring is any ring given by a partner to signify their promise to marry their beloved. Any ring—as long as it represents their love and commitment to one another—can technically be an engagement ring.
Given their symbolic value, engagement rings traditionally come with a hefty price tag. The natural materials and production cost may increase the number of zeroes, leading some couples to go for more affordable options like silicone bands because, after all, it's just a symbol for the love, not the actual love, you know?
Still, it pays to be thoughtful and creative about this. You don't have to shell out several months' worth of salary if you can't, and you can still give a premium ring without breaking the bank. Plus, it's 2024, we think it's time to shine the spotlight on unique rings that feature meaningful stones and designs that will suit your partner's lifestyle—whatever the price.
Do take note that some of these are made to order and can be resized, so be sure to allot time and get your partner's ring size right!
