The Perfect Engagement Ring You Should Propose With, According To Her/His Birthstone

When Machine Gun Kelly proposed to Megan Fox with her birthstone, we all felt the depth of his love. He explained the meaning of the ring that he designed along with Stephen Webster. He said, “I know the tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birthstone) and the diamond (my birthstone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love.”

Diamonds are classic, but there’s a whole world of beautiful gems out there, that are just as beautiful, sparkly, and durable as a diamond. They make a romantic declaration of love and are even more personal than a common diamond ring.

Choosing an engagement ring is complicated. Several factors need to be considered like the cut, solitaire, and design. We feel it’s a beautiful idea to propose as per your beau’s birthstone. So from Alexandrite to Zircon, we’ve rounded up a few gorgeous inspirations based on the birthday month in one place.
