Ever since Emma Stone announced her boyfriend had proposed with a beautiful pearl engagement ring, we’ve been totally obsessed with the latest trend.
Pearl engagement rings are an eco-friendly and stylish alternative to the traditional diamond ring and other gems like emerald and sapphire. Despite not having that classic sparkle, pearls have an eye-catching shimmering lustre and these iridescent treasures come in colours from white to Champagne, black and lavender.
Plus, pearl rings don’t carry the hefty price tag of diamonds, which is a win-win for all (Emma’s ring was reportedly under £5,000).
For those wanting to step outside the box and choose an unconventional engagement ring, a pearl is a beautiful and modern alternative that you will be swooning over for the rest of your life.
Explore our choice of the prettiest pearl engagement rings that suit a range of budgets.
