All happily ever afters should come with fantasy engagement rings, IMO. They are seriously some of the most detailed, breathtaking engagement ring styles out there. Picture intricate ring settings that incorporate delicately carved floral and nature-inspired elements, like vines and branches, to symbolize growth and everlasting love. Or colorful gemstones like pink sapphires and aquamarine that look like they came straight from a storybook.
Thanks to the resurgence of the fairytale wedding aesthetic, jewelry designers have taken a renewed interest in fairytale-inspired engagement rings, leading to a wider variety of unique design selections. The details can be as subtle or as bold as you desire, but by tastefully incorporating fairytale elements into the design, these popular ring styles will be a celebration of creativity and individuality, making a bold statement that is sure to turn heads (not to mention, they'll look great in those engagement ring selfies.)
