Unique Engagement Rings for Holiday Proposals

In the middle of winter when days are short and the are nights long, many of us rejoice. We celebrate for we know that in the dark, light will shine its brightest.

Long mid-winter nights and human resilience to not just get through them but create joy in them, have inspired people for millennia to celebrate holidays around the winter solstice. As jewelers we have a unique perspective on the holidays, because about 40% of people with marriage on their mind choose this magical time of year to propose. We get the great joy of creating unique engagement rings for those who dream of jewelry off the beaten path.

The Nebula was created with a midnight blue rustic diamond center stone. The teal blue center is a natural hue created by Mother Nature herself, and is a rare occurrence. It would be the perfect alternative engagement ring match for someone who loves the dark blue nights of winter for gazing up at the bright golden stars in the sky.

The Poppy features traditional blue and unique terracotta colored sapphires. Its round, eternal shape has been used for thousands of years as a symbol of unity and hope. We offer the story of the Christmas wreath, but the Poppy waits for your story and your unique holiday proposal to fill its wonder-filled diamond and sapphire wheel.

In the name of the symbol of a ring, we bring you lore of the wreath. The Christmas wreath was first made during a time when humans wasted not, for all the materials they worked with were gathered by hand. It was a time when makers moved slower, and the value of someone’s effort to create something beautiful was cherished with each material collected and woven. When European Christians trimmed their evergreen tree, they used the pieces left over to create a wreath as a symbol of eternity. They tucked candles into the greens as tokens of hope. Hope and optimism reign throughout any winter holiday traditions.

In Norse tradition, Yule is celebrated from the December solstice through January. During the Yuletide celebration, the sparks that flew from the fire were a symbol of prosperity, each spark believed to represent livestock that would be born in the coming year.

The Petite Fleur ring features rare warm hued sapphires that glisten like tiny sparks from a fire. They would make the perfect unique engagement ring stack for the person who treads off the beaten path. A prosperous stack, indeed!

For many of us, Christmas is a time of reflection. For me, thinking of Christmas is a memory of walking through northern pine woods on a winter night – snow hanging from spruce boughs and the path crunching softly underfoot – everything is perfectly quiet. It’s the perfect silent night. It’s possible you’ve lived this memory if you’re from a wintery homeland, but perhaps it’s not yours. Maybe it’s a memory shared with many from the pages of book describing something we all know in our hearts that we gobbled up next to a roaring fire with family and friends laughing near.

Blue and Rosy is an ethically made engagement ring with a 1.5 carat American lab grown diamond center stone and wintery blue sapphire accents with fancy diamonds sprinkled like snow. It is one of a few of its kind, and perfect for the winter bride.

Perhaps you’ve nailed your proposal and popped the question with the perfect engagement in warmer months, but your bride’s dream is to be married during the winter. If you are like me, you’ve procrastinated even considering what you’ll do for a wedding band to pair with her perfect engagement ring. Our Petite Anything Bands make the perfect delicate wedding band easy to pair with most rings. We intended them to be a simple choice amidst a thousand wedding decisions.
