Move over, classic solitaires: As the modern definition of weddings has shifted over then past decade or so {Hello, food-truck catering. Goodbye, buffet-style dinners. } so has our definition of what makes a ring “engagement ring”-worthy. The two-months-salary rule is out the window, along with the notion that there must be a diamond.
If you still like the idea of something sparkly on your finger but don’t want your mama’s engagement ring, here are nine edgy rings from Meadowlark Jewellery to consider. Opt for a less expensive metal and an alternative stone, and the prices all dip below $1,000.
