We love that each of these diamond engagement rings took part in a real-life love story:
Custom Engagement Rings Under $1,500
Side-Stone Vintage Engagement Ring

Marquise-shape sapphires and round cut diamonds play perfectly together in this alternating ring band. That dot milgrain detailing around the stones adds a vintage touch.
Cabled Halo Engagement Ring

The twisted band and diamond halo shine on their own while complementing each others’ beauty. This ring’s 0.42 carat center diamond looks even larger thanks to its halo.
Intricate Basket Solitaire Engagement Ring

With a solitaire ring this gorgeously simple, the dazzle’s in the details. Notice the yellow gold latticework on the basket behind the diamond (hint – click on the 360° view to see it best!).

Petite Pavé Engagement Ring

This ring was designed to sit flush with a wedding band of your choice – either a diamond band to keep the sparkle going, or a classic one to let the engagement ring shine.
Diamond Accent Engagement Ring

Tapered diamonds act as arrows pointing to the center diamond, adding accents of sparkle to an elegant band. This one’s designed petite, a great option for those with smaller hands.
Magnolia Halo Engagement Ring

Magnolia flowers only bloom once a year, and like this ring, their beauty is so worth the wait. The corners of this halo highlight the geometry of its princess cut center diamond.

Scroll Vintage Engagement Ring

A ring that rocks from every angle – scroll latticework on the top and bottom edges, diamonds and chevron detailing in the middle, and of course, a breathtaking brilliant cut diamond in the center.
Floral Bouquet Engagement Ring

Featuring a wreath of diamond and milgrain-covered petals crafted from yellow gold, this vintage-style ring could have been taken straight out of a classic Greek myth.
Pear-Shaped Halo Engagement Ring

This rose gold pear-shaped halo is totally trending. Pear-shaped diamonds are loved for how they make light “dance” and for the elongating effect they have on the wearer’s finger.

Lotus Pavé Sapphire Engagement Ring

Every aspect of this design is obsession-worthy, from the knife-edge pavé band to the oval deep blue sapphire. A sweet surprise: the lotus decorated basket behind the center stone.
Cathedral Star Ruby Engagement Ring

Hello, Hollywood glamour! Drama becomes this scarlet ruby and diamond engagement ring. The design is literally bursting with inspiration – and brings to mind Fergie’s original royal gemstone ring.
Pavé Halo Emerald Engagement Ring

A powerful, earthy gemstone surrounded by diamonds offsets the yellow gold metal. The unmistakable oval halo is elevated by its center vivid green emerald.
