Exploring Diamond Alternative for Your Engagement Ring

Looking to step outside the box when it comes to your jewelry? While diamonds have long been the traditional choice, there’s a world of stunning alternatives waiting to be explored. Whether you want something more unique, colorful, or meaningful, Bostonian Jewelers has curated a guide to gorgeous options that sparkle just as brightly. Discover fresh ways to express your style below!

White Sapphire: “Stone of the Gods”

Want something rarer than diamonds? Go with a white sapphire ring. Known as the most “popular alternative to a diamond,” white sapphire rings resemble diamond rings at a fraction of the cost.  Best of all, they offer a unique “bling” to your collection. As noted by Wedded Wonderland, a wedding magazine, “[Sapphire rings] have a different level of brilliance and fire than diamonds. While diamonds have a high level of brilliance, white sapphires have a softer, more subdued appearance, making them a unique and elegant choice for an engagement ring.”

Goshenite: “The Mother of Crystals”

With a goshenite ring, you’ll be wearing “the Mother of Crystals” on your finger. Believed to symbolize “purity, clarity, and divine connection,” this type of stone promises to keep you grounded while also looking fly. 

Emerald: “Heart of Stone”

We know what you’re thinking: green isn’t your color. But with an emerald, one of the world’s most precious stones, you will be inviting “friendship, peace, harmony, and domestic bliss” into your life. Go green!

Aquamarine: “The Sailor’s Stone”

Did you know that aquamarine is one of the oldest gemstones in the world? According to Greek mythology, the stone was believed to have fallen out of a mermaid’s treasure chest. Rumors spread, and sailors looked to the stone for guiding them through “tempestuous waters.” Today, the stone is said to “heal anxiety, promote healing, and tranquility.” Zen out, and look good, too.
