Looking for an engagement ring that brings to mind the changing colours of autumn? If you love colours such as orange, red, yellow and brown, you may find that warm-toned rings are an ideal choice. Many beautiful stones work well with diamonds. Whatever your preferred ring style, you can add more colour by changing up the stone or metal of the ring. From the warm hues of yellow gold to the pink shades of rose gold, and stones that reflect the colours of this season, we’ve put together a list of alluring engagement rings inspired by autumn.
Engagement Rings Inspired by Autumn
Some engagement rings that will remind you of falling leaves, cooler days and changing seasons include the following.
Citrine Swirl

Citrine comes in a range of yellow shades – often a vibrant colour that is somewhere between yellow and orange. This stone has a hardness rating of 7 on the Mohs scale, making it a suitable choice for rings that also include harder stones such as diamonds. It works very well when set on warm-toned metals such as yellow gold. In this ring, a twisting pave diamond band winds around the centre stone alongside a delicate warm gold band.
Smoky Pave

Smoky quartz is another stone that goes well with diamonds. It comes in a variety of smoky browns and greys that bring to mind cold evenings and the smell of wood fires drifting from chimneys. This stone also has a hardness rating of 7 and works well in ring designs that also include diamonds. In this ring, a centre smoky quartz stone is set on the top of a split band in yellow gold, encrusted with pave diamonds.
Ruby Trinity

The brilliant red of rubies makes them one of the most sought-after precious stones after diamonds. In this ring, a vibrant ruby takes centre stage in a trinity design. These rings are romantic and classic. Each stone symbolises a stage in your journey together as a couple – your past, present and future. A gold band brings out the warmth of the ruby in this design.
Topaz Tutu

Tiger Halo

One of the more unusual stone choices for rings is tiger’s eye. We have been seeing this stone in a few trends over the last year or two. In this design, a classic halo style is given a contemporary touch with a centre tiger’s eye surrounded by tiny diamonds. It is set on a delicate rose gold band that adds even more visual interest and warmth.
Garnet Pear

Another stone known for its deep red colour is garnet. This stone can be a good option for those who want a more affordable red coloured stone than ruby. In this teardrop design, a pear garnet is flanked by small diamonds on a gold band. What makes teardrop rings unusual is that they can be worn with the point facing upwards or downwards. They can elongate shorter fingers and make larger fingers appear smaller depending on which way the pointed end faces.
