Embrace your individuality: Alternative stones for your engagement ring
Your love story is unique, as are the symbols you choose to represent it. At KIND Collection, we celebrate individuality, helping our clients express their distinctiveness with our ethically sourced, handcrafted jewellery. Over the past few years we have noticed a gradual shift away from a traditional diamond engagement ring, with more clients leaning towards alternative gemstones.
With a spectrum of hues, meanings, and origins, these less traditional options allow couples to showcase their personal styles and values, all while enjoying the luxurious appeal of these rare stones.
Salt & Pepper Diamonds and Champagne Diamonds: Honouring Tradition with a Twist
For those who appreciate the timeless allure of a diamond but wish to express their individuality, salt & pepper diamonds and champagne diamonds present an enchanting alternative. Salt & pepper diamonds, with their inclusions that create a grey, speckled appearance, are bold, characterful, and utterly unique – much like the love they symbolise. Meanwhile, champagne diamonds, with their warm, elegant, and effervescent hue, reflect an unspoken joy and celebration of love. Embrace the extraordinary allure of these distinct diamonds, perfect for those who wish to adhere to tradition while making a personal statement of love that is uniquely their own.
At KIND Collection, our diamonds are sourced from Ocean Diamonds and Fair Trade Gemstones. Click here to read our previous blog that outlines our diamond supply chain in more detail.
