Not every single girl in the world wants to have diamonds on her fingers when she gets engaged, some girls want a little bit of color added to their fingers.  I absolutely love purple and I love the way that amethyst looks all wrapped up in platinum or silver (I’m totally not a yellow gold person, but hey — that’s just me).  If you are thinking about popping the question to your girlfriend, you might want to look into something a little less conventional and a little more unique!  Take the ring above — this is a beautiful example of what amethyst can look like!

 

If you are looking for something that is a little bit more traditional but still has a flare of purple, this shiny little ring is the ideal example of what amethyst can look like when it is transformed into a more traditional ring.  I love this one and personally … I might end up getting it for myself!  What do you guys think of amethyst rings as an engagement ring?  Do you think they take away from the engagement itself?  Would you be disappointed if you got amethyst instead of diamonds?
