Why Look For an Alternative to Engagement Rings?

There are many reasons for choosing an alternative to the engagement ring. Not everyone likes wearing rings. In some industries, such as the healthcare and hospitality sectors, wearing jewellery is even not allowed for certain activities. You also often put rings away when you have a baby around to avoid accidentally harming the little one. Another common reason is sensitive skin, although in this case, you could also opt for an engagement ring made of hypoallergenic platinum.

You should be aware that platinum is rarer and therefore more expensive than gold. So, your choice will partly depend on your budget for her engagement ring. If you prefer an engagement ring alternative, then you also save yourself the trouble of having to find out her ring size without her finding out.

What Would Be a Nice Alternative For Her?

You certainly wouldn't be the first to buy an alternative to the engagement ring. In 1953, John F. Kennedy gave his beloved Jackie a gorgeous engagement bracelet. One elegant choice is the close-fitting tennis bracelet, with fine links and diamonds in a beautiful, symmetrical design. A beautiful wedding-day accessory at the same time, too! You could also go for a sleek gold bracelet and have it engraved for your engagement.
