8 Free Form Engagement Rings for the Free Spirited You!

 

The free-spirited you might not like to be bounded, but true love is not limiting; it is rather liberating. A supportive partner is wind beneath your wings that only empowers you to fly higher. If you are one such free spirit or happen to be engaged to one, then a conventional, one-dimensional engagement ring is probably not the right fit for you.

Instead, you’d probably want to pick out a piece that reflects your out-of-the-box personality with aplomb. A free-form engagement ring is perfect for showing the world that you’re committed, but with your freedom and spirit intact, in a union that brings out the best in you. These rings don’t have a traditional structure or shape but are free-flowing with no limit to the design interpretation. Want to know which ring style works for you? Here are a few ideas to get started.

Celebrate Overlaps with Twisted Rings

Twisted rings are ideal for the sophisticated free spirit who prefers a hint of quirk to her engagement ring. Not only do these twisty bands look incredible, but they’re also symbolic of two lives intertwined with one another. Our design experts suggest you try and choose twisted rings in two different-colored metals. Firstly, this helps the detailing and center stone stand out. Secondly, it indicates that you and your partner retain your free-spirited attitude to life, even while being together.

Opt For a Bypass Ring

Bypass rings have existed since the Victorian era; they are a popular choice for brides who want their engagement ring unique. In a bypass ring, the ends of the band do not meet at the center stone. Instead, they bypass each other to go at opposite ends of the diamond — one holding it at the top, the other at the bottom. The symbolism is the confluence of two individuals to build a life together yet retain their own personalities.

This style of engagement ring is more curved and less structured. Strong, individual women like Jackie Kennedy and Sandra Bullock have opted for bypass rings as a statement of their classy style. Bypass rings can carry more than one center stone and be multi-hued if the bride wants to add color to her life and looks.

Go Criss-Cross with Split Shanks

In a split shank design, the bands usually divide either as they move away from the center stone or towards it. Depending on the center diamond’s size and weight, the number of strands (typically two or three) and the depth of the splits are decided. This keeps the setting secure and the engagement ring durable. Split shanks often also create the illusion of a larger center stone and overall broader ring dimensions.

Embrace Asymmetry With Layered Multi-Tone Rings

Why choose only one style when you can choose as many as you like with just one ring? For the ultimate free-spirited bride, layered rings are the perfect free-form option. The ideal ring offers different textures, colors, and layers, so you can pull out the stops and get everything you want from just this one piece.

Whether you’re looking for OTT glamor, bohemian chic, or sophisticated minimalism, there is a whole gamut of engagement rings to choose from, which are unique in their design and structure to fit your free-spirited personality. Visit Gabriel & Co. to select your favorite free-form engagement ring.
