These days, it seems like engagement rings all look the same, give or take the shape of the stone–a simple pavé band with a white diamond center stone with or without a halo. But, there’s a jewelry designer that’s changing the game–Kristin Coffin. If you’re not into cookie-cutter engagement rings and wedding bands, just wait till you see these beauties! Kristin Coffin’s unique designs are inspired by the glamour of the past with a modern update to the ethics. With a wide range of alternative stone options and ethical sourcing, every ring is an investment you can feel good about.

The Bigger The Better

We’d be lying if we didn’t just come out and say it…the first thing we noticed about these incredible rings was the size of the stones. Just look at them! How could you not? With one of these bad boys on your finger, who could help but stare? And, because of their alternative stone options, they’re surprisingly affordable with engagement rings starting at just $1,500! We’re currently crushing on their oval engagement rings, our favorite being the Anika, a 2.75-carat oval moissanite center stone with a diamond halo.

Our Favorite Stones

Hand-crafted by artisans and metalsmiths, each ring is built to stand the test of time. And while Kristin Coffin does use ethically sourced and lab-grown diamonds, the line is most known for its unique stone options, some of which you may never have heard of before. Let’s talk about some of our faves.

Moissanite

An ethical alternative to mined diamonds, moissanite may just be a girl’s new best friend. White moissanite has even more sparkle and fire than diamonds at a fraction of the cost! If you want a little color in your stone, it also comes in a moody gunmetal grey and a bright aqua/teal shade that gives us major Marie Antoinette vibes.

Sapphire

Thanks to Princess Diana and Kate Middleton, we know you’re familiar with sapphire engagement rings, but did you know sapphires come in more colors than that brilliant royal blue? We’re obsessed with Kristin Coffin’s peach sapphire engagement rings! The stone is a bright shade of blush that is right up our alley. So if you’re an uber-femme tulle ballgown kind of girl a peach sapphire is just the stone for you.

Lab-Grown Diamonds

You’ve probably heard of lab-grown diamonds, but did you know that they are physically and chemically identical to naturally occurring stones? The only difference is that you know where your stone came from, so there's no guilt–only good vibes! We keep coming back to size, but another great thing about lab-grown diamonds is that you can get a lot more bang for your buck. So why invest in a morally questionable rock when you could have an ethically sourced boulder? Just sayin…

Create The Ring Of Your Dreams

Each of Kristin Coffin’s designs is customizable and available in a selection of different metals ranging from white, rose, and yellow gold to platinum. You can also customize the band (or shank) and see a live preview on their website. If you really want something one-of-a-kind, they also offer custom consultations with the designer, Kristin Coffin, herself! So, maybe you happen to leave this page up on your laptop “accidentally”? We won’t tell…
