30 Elegant Nature Inspired Engagement Rings

The nature is an endless inspiration to anyone interested in art and beauty. From the early times, humans have used natural elements to create works of art. Ancient jewelry often had seashells, dried leaves, and bird feathers. 

Today, many nature-inspired pieces of jewelry use carving techniques on precious metals such as gold and platinum to imprint natural elements. 

Alternative to classical ring designs, nature-inspired engagement rings embody unique and creative shapes and colors to tell a specific story. 

You’ll see non-traditional gemstone colors and cuts and sometimes mixtures of different gemstones on the same ring to fashion a tapestry of details. Sometimes you’ll see mixture of metal colors on the same ring to add detail. 

Designers often observe and cast elements of nature to handcraft these creative designs. They portray various forest, floral, tree, tree-bark, twig, and bird designs.

While dainty and simple nature-inspired designs are available, some jewelry designers invest a lot of creativity in grand, larger pieces to tell a story. What is for sure is that, there are so many different ways to portray natural elements that if you look enough, you’ll find the one that’s for you.

How to Choose Your Nature Inspired Ring?

Think about what elements you are interested in. Are you looking for a specific flower (like lotus), specific fruit (like grapes), or a special view (like waves in an ocean). Alternatively, you might like your ring to tell a story, for example, a budding flower that is embracing the sun, or a lovebird singing. 

Also make up your mind about the level of detail you want and the width that suits you best. Remember there are some wonderful dainty and simple nature-inspired designs out there for those who want a smaller ring. But there are also extravagant designs too. It all depends on your preference. 

Next, decide on color themes. Some nature-inspired rings have a mixture while others focus on one. There are various designers who focus on specific themes and colors. Be sure to find the ones that have a similar taste to yours. Check on google and platforms like Etsy and Amazon to aid your search.

Last but not least, decide on a budget and filter to a range. This will help with your search. 

In Summary

Mother nature has a lot to offer. The sky is the limit (or not even the sky!) for nature lovers who wish to start their life together with inspiration. The key is to guide your search toward finding the right nature engagement ring or nature-inspired wedding band for your liking.
