There are so many lovely options available, it's no longer just about a solitaire. From colored diamonds and gemstones with unique cuts, vintage style, both old and new, you can give your ring personality. 

Alternative expressions.

Put your own unique spin on a classic diamond ring by using a colored diamond, changing the orientation or keeping it raw, all while still getting the durability & hardness that diamonds have to offer. If you opt for a colored gemstone, sapphires are a great choice, because they’re still durable for everyday wear and also come in an array of beautiful colors.
