For fashion-loving, design-driven, and unconventional fiancés-to-be, a simple solitaire rarely comes to mind when dreaming about a must-have engagement ring.

Your style has never been ordinary and has few restrictions, but is always tasteful–and the token your fiancé proposes with should follow suit. Here are 15 unconventional–yet undeniably stunning–engagement rings for you to consider subtly hinting to–or, in the spirit of being non-traditional, asking for outright.
