Organic Engagement Rings | Taylor & Hart (2024)

Inspired by animal life, we’ve seen nature inspired engagement rings based on a variety of creatures from whales and lobsters to hedgehogs, bird’s feathers and scales. Other inspirations can be taken from mythical creatures such as dragons, or scenic terrain like mountainous regions or natural elements like clouds, water or fire.

Insects such as butterflies, scarab beetles, dragonflies and bumble bees have all become common motifs to encapsulate in jewelry. The stag beetle is an iconic British insect and is said to represent transformation and luck. A diamond engagement ring that features an insect embedded within the ring would truly suit a bohemian bride.

Nature inspired engagement rings often feature filigree and hand engraving. Filigree sees metal cutouts, inspired by natural forms, featuring beautifully intricate hand-carved shapes and designs along the band. A hand engraved engagement ring can achieve organic and floral motifs, to fulfil your nature-inspired design.

Various finishes such as pebbled, hammered and wire brushed metal would add to an engagement rings likeness to a natural texture or animal. There are many ways to subtly reference your favourite animal. Essentially, if you can imagine it, it can be crafted and interpreted into your very own animal inspired engagement ring.

Ranging from whimsical and abstract to more accurate and true-to-life interpretations, nature-inspired engagement rings are a wonderfully unique and sweet way to represent your love.

For a nature inspired engagement or wedding ring, your metal choice depends entirely on personal preference. The golden tones of yellow gold are highlighted when moulded into the shape of a leaf or flower, the metal radiates warmth. A gold engagement ring has an organic feel to it, especially when paired with luscious colored gemstones such as a royal blue sapphire or a forest green emerald. When paired together, these elements can represent earth’s natural forces, such as the sun, the ocean or flora.

Rose gold is another rich metal choice when thinking about creating a nature inspired engagement ring, especially one with a floral pattern. As the name suggests, the color is reminiscent of a rose, or any pink or blush toned flower.

During the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movement platinum was often used to represent natural patterns–people loved the cool tone combined with natural inspired patterns and motifs. A platinum, nature inspired ring would surely remind us of this charming design era.
