Your girl isn’t like other girls. No, sir. She’s tough, sharp as a razor, and she’s got more ink than you do. She can drink wine with the girls and beer with the boys, and she doesn’t do pink.\u00a0<\/em>A traditional white diamond engagement ring for this lady would be appreciated, but it wouldn’t woo her how you want to woo her. For all the guys here in love with a woman who doesn’t do \u201cgirly\u201d, these engagement ring suggestions are for you. You can pretty much mix and match these suggestions, too.<\/p>\n

Coloured Diamonds<\/strong><\/p>\n

While white diamonds are time-honoured and conventional, coloured diamonds have been trending in recent years. Coloured diamonds have become a fashion-forward accessory on the red carpet, with celebrities including Carrie Underwood, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Lopez sporting the coloured eye-candy.<\/p>\n

Produced in every hue of the rainbow, red diamonds are the rarest of all coloured diamonds. The colour which graces these gemstones is produced from what the American Gem Society<\/a><\/strong> calls imperfections, however we don’t think many people view coloured diamonds that way.<\/p>\n

Another diamond trend that’s popular with more contemporary couples is massive gemstones –that can be seen from across a crowded street with the capacity to blind innocent bystanders.<\/p>\n

Yes, popularized on the red carpet and trending among both traditional and non-traditional diamond aficionados; big booty on the ring finger is becoming a mainstay.<\/p>\n

Not only are they adored for their girth, they’re appreciated for their value as an asset. Giant chunky diamonds only make up a small percentage of the overall diamonds produced globally, annually. In other words, they’re kind of rare \u2013and their rareness makes a statement all on its own.<\/p>\n

Scrap the Diamond Altogether<\/strong><\/p>\n

Birth stones and rare gems are making a comeback, with many engagement rings opting for the striking look that only some alternative gemstones can provide. Sapphires, moissanite, sunstone, opals, pearls, rhodolite, and tourmaline all make the cut in terms of grace and style, and our sure to impress your contemporary lady.<\/p>\n

Shapely Curves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diamonds and other gemstones cut into geometrical shapes are most commonly cut into the following shapes;<\/p>\n
