Melissa Tyson Designs

Price Range: $150 – $10,500

Long been on our radar for her radiant, rutilated quartz designs, Melissa Tyson Designs’ engagement rings will likely bring a sunshiney joy into your wardrobe.

Ethically handcrafted hammered engagement & wedding rings, Melissa’s shop (and Etsy shop, too!) is the place to go if you love a more natural, organic look. Shop deeper looks like grey or salt and pepper diamonds or keep it bright & cheery with sunny yellow rutilated quartz, raw pink morganite and sparkling moissanite. She’s even coined a few of our favorite rare diamond cuts – we give you the ‘Moroccan Marquise’.

And while we’d find it hard to believe if you weren’t captured by one of her designs, Melissa specializes in custom designs – she’s given us the full guide to designing the perfect custom ring here. Not only can you set up a few chats to design a custom piece (or even upcycle some family jewels) but she has a ‘Create Your Own Ring‘ tool to DIY it with one of her many stunning Salt & Pepper Diamonds and Sustainably Grown Diamonds.

Valerie Madison Jewelry

Price Range: $1,023 – $9,825+

We like to take into account where our own experts – our beloved writers & editors – are sourcing their own timeless engagement & wedding rings. When one of our own recently started shopping Valery Madison stole her attention.

Her colorful gemstones, hammered gold bands & whimsical style are like catnip for us wedding editors. While I can’t stop staring at this Marisol Ruby Halo Ring (it reminds me of a vibrant, modern pink version of Diana’s engagement ring) ultimately it’s her opalescent diamonds that stopped us in our tracks.

If you’re a geology nerd like us, you’ll know that while opals are stunning, they’re not exactly meant for “stand-the-test-of-time” jewelry pieces. Valerie Madison Jewelry’s opalescent diamonds achieve that same misty, milky look of opals but with the sturdy hardness of diamonds. Not only are they a practical design, but a wholly beautiful sight to behold!
