23 unique engagement rings from Point No Point

There are few pieces of jewelry with as much variety and significance as engagement rings. And we know one thing for sure–you don’t have to be on the verge of an engagement to enjoy browsing them. From glimmering diamonds and colorful gemstones to fun design trends, the beauty of engagement rings can hypnotize just about anyone.

But for some of us, the unique engagement rings are the real showstoppers. No shame to any classic ring lovers out there, but a nontraditional, distinctively different engagement ring has the ability to spark a bit of magic. There’s something empowering and uplifting behind wearing an engagement ring unlike anyone else’s. And what better way to represent your relationship than with a ring as unique as your love?

For all of you alternative ring appreciators, Point No Point is the jewelry designer of your dreams. This brand is “for those who dare to do diamonds differently.” Here you’ll find original rings with stunning features like black diamonds, geometric cuts, and stackable bands. Not only are their engagement rings nontraditional, but they’re also handcrafted with sustainable practices, conflict-free diamonds, and recycled precious metals. We know you’ll want to spend hours perusing their site, but we gathered some of our favorite Point No Point unique engagement rings for you.

Our Favorite Unique Engagement Rings

Salt and Pepper Diamonds 

If standing out is your goal, you can’t go wrong with a salt and pepper diamond. Each of these diamonds is characteristically different from the next, with no two ever being identical. All diamonds are pure carbon, meaning salt and pepper diamonds are chemically the same–and just as durable–as white diamonds. They just have a little galaxy of speckles inside, making them true celestial beauties.

Geometric Cuts

We’re all familiar with the ever-present round-cut, princess-cut, and oval-cut stones used for engagement rings. But you can take your ring to the next level with a geometric cut. Think hexagons, trapezoids, geometric pears, as well as kite and shield shapes. Some of Point No Point’s geometric stones don’t even have an identifiable shape name–what’s more unique than that?

Black Diamonds

Black diamonds are inherently sophisticated, subtle, and outside the box. Though similar to the salt and pepper variety, these diamonds have more color consistency than their speckled relative.

It’s important to note that there is a vast range in the quality of black and salt and pepper diamonds on the market. But Point No Point selects only the highest-quality stones, skipping ones with surface pits or cracks.

Gemstones

Diamonds have been the predominant engagement ring gemstone choice for nearly a century. Break the mold with a non-diamond stone to adorn your unique engagement ring. Point No Point can work with any type of gemstone, so contact them if you have a particular stone in mind. Just note that certain gemstones are only available in specific cuts, due to that stone’s makeup and durability.

sapphire and aquamarine gemstone rings

1.33ct Blue Hexagon Sapphire with Ava Setting 2. 1.23ct Teal Blue Hexagon Sapphire with Cluster Setting 3. 1.35ct Pink Tourmaline Hexagon with Winnie Setting 4. 1.15ct Lozenge Aquamarine and Diamond with Ava Setting

One-of-a-Kind Settings

Don’t leave all of the beauty and uniqueness up to the stone. Point No Point has multiple engagement ring settings that will make your ring one-of-a-kind. Choose from features like bezels, clusters, and asymmetrical halos.

About Point No Point 

Established in 2011 by Julie Stark Allen, the Point No Point brand was inspired by her home state of Washington’s natural beauty. One look at their rings, and you’ll recognize nature’s influence on each design. The pieces are crafted in Snohomish, Washington, from start to finish with sustainable practices and eco-friendly materials. Every diamond is hand cut and CAD renders–or precise computer-generated mockups–are created for every ring. This ensures correct measurements and proportions for the highly unique stones, which is in sharp contrast to the rest of the ring industries’ mass-produced settings and calibrated stones.

Custom Unique Engagement Rings

If you spotted design elements you love in the rings above but still didn’t see your perfect match, you’re in luck. Point No Point makes it easy to design and customize a one-of-a-kind engagement ring. That’s right–you can achieve the epitome of uniqueness and create your own ring using Point No Point’s collection of alternative black, salt and pepper, and unique diamonds (which is larger than any other jeweler.) Shop their inventory of loose diamonds and gemstones to begin the process.

Wedding planning offers endless opportunities to be unique, unconventional, and one-of-a-kind. And a great place to start is with the ring you’ll wear forever.

Rust-Colored Boho Planet Bluegrass Wedding

July 3, 2023 | justine

Searching for the ideal wedding venue can be daunting for many couples. However, Arielle and Lucas had an entirely different experience. They stumbled upon a single venue and immediately knew it was the one. Their Planet Bluegrass wedding had breathtaking views from every angle—with beautiful mature cottonwood and apple trees, striking red stone cliffs, and a serene sandy beach by the riverfront. The earthy color palette, fresh blooms, and dried foliage created a relaxed and inviting ambiance that set the tone for their wedding.

For their outdoor ceremony, the couple chose a serene location alongside the river, surrounded by trees. The aisle was lined with vintage rugs, leading them to a beautiful chuppah that framed the natural beauty around them. At the pavilion reception that followed, guests enjoyed dining on tables with rust-colored settings and vibrant centerpieces that popped against an all-white tablescape. The final touch was the twinkling lights on the walls and ceiling and a floral and preserved greenery installation.

The pair couldn’t have asked for a more romantic atmosphere. We could go on and on, but we’ll let these incredible photos by India Earl do all the talking. Keep scrolling to see the gorgeous details up close and take inspiration from these ideas to create your own boho outdoor celebration.

Love At First Sight: How Their Planet Bluegrass Wedding Came To Be

Interestingly enough, Planet Bluegrass was the only venue we visited. We saw pictures online and knew it was ours—beautiful grounds, accessible from the airport, and accommodating staff. We took inspiration from the grounds of the venue, which feature mature cottonwood trees, Redstone cliffs, and a roaring river. Everything was designed to complement the natural beauty of the venue.

Exchanging Vows Surrounded By Nature

The ceremony was set up under cottonwood trees and alongside the river. The aisle was lined with florals and rugs that complemented the backdrop, and we were married under a gorgeous floral-lined chuppah. On an unusually rainy day in Colorado, the rain stopped, and the sun broke through the clouds just in time for us to say our vows.

The Secret To A Stress-Free Wedding: Hire A Wedding Planner

Our wedding advice is simple: get a wedding planner. They bring expertise, experience, and a network of vendors, making the planning process smoother and stress-free.

Eclectic and Trendy Santo Bruklin Intimate Wedding

July 1, 2023 | justine

Tiana and Pedro’s Santo Bruklin intimate wedding effortlessly blended timeless elegance with eclectic and vintage touches, resulting in a classy and chic atmosphere. And with the invaluable support of friends and family, they undeniably achieved that goal. Every element of the wedding, from the dreamy florals to the cool fashion, seamlessly intertwined. 

Their intimate affair took place at their favorite restaurant in New York City. The covered backyard had a refreshing spring vibe, adorned with lots of greenery. What made it even more enchanting were the floating floral clouds. The same space was cleverly prepared for both the ceremony and reception, with rows of tables adorned with delicate baby’s breath centerpieces and black table settings that were a striking contrast against the pristine white table covers. The romantic atmosphere was further enhanced by the warm glow of candles and twinkling string lights.

If you’re a fan of simple elegance with a touch of retro and eclectic charm, you’ll love scrolling through these photos captured by Ruby Olivia. Be sure to take note of these creative ways to say “I do” that you can use as inspiration for your own celebration.

Tiana and Pedro

The Wedding:

Santo Bruklin, Brooklyn, New York

How Their Santo Bruklin Intimate Wedding Came To Be

Our venue is our favorite restaurant in New York City. The owner and everyone who works there has treated us like family since we met them. We had our engagement dinner there, and they went above and beyond to make the day memorable for us. And when we asked if we could have our wedding there, they were so excited for us. Our wedding would not have been what it was without the entire Santo Bruklin team, and we owe so much to them and their kind and generous hearts. We wanted a classy, chic, and timeless vibe while staying true to my eclectic and vintage taste. I already owned a lot of the decor, which saved us a lot of money and made it easier to make decisions. And our family and friends helped us make the day come to life.

Authenticity and Fun: The After Party That Exceeded Expectations

I’m proud of how the after-party turned out. It was so much fun for everyone, and I was so nervous that it wouldn’t be the vibe I envisioned, but it was everything and more. The music was perfect, the dancing was absolutely fun, and you could tell everyone was having the time of their lives. I’m also so proud that everyone could see that it was just so us. There wasn’t a single thing we did that felt inauthentic to who we are, and you could really see it. The most memorable part of the day for me was the dinner. It was 50 of our closest friends and family, and we got to take in how special that moment was. We all sang along to the songs the DJ played, laughed, and had the best time.

The People Who Made Their Bruklin Intimate Wedding Unforgettable

Every single person who helped us was magic. My sister did my flowers, and she absolutely killed it. My brother did the video, and he’s so, so talented! Ruby Olivia, one of my closest friends, did our photos, and of course, we know how amazing those came out. Having her be with me every step of that day made me much less anxious. She’s a gem inside and out and has a way of making everything fun. A dear friend offered to do day-of coordination and was truly the MVP. Our DJ was the best DJ we’ve ever heard at a party. Our guests agreed he was sensational. And, of course, the Santo Bruklin team and all our friends and family who helped set up were exceptional.

Exchanging Meaningful Gifts

My husband got me the Billie No.2 perfume and the vinyl of her newest album. Billie is one of my favorite artists, and it meant a lot to listen to the vinyl while I was getting ready that morning. I had been writing him letters since we met in a journal and I gave him the journal with all the letters as a surprise.

Wedding Advice: Trust Your Instincts

Our advice: Do you. Don’t listen to all the “should’s” from other people. If you want something, go for it. If you don’t like something, don’t let anyone talk you into doing it. Go with your gut, and remember that it’s supposed to be fun!
