Can You Use Birthstones in Engagement Rings?

Absolutely! While birthstones are stunning in necklaces and earrings, they make stunning centrepieces or accents in engagement rings too.

Hidden Birthstone in Engagement Ring Designs

For those who prefer a subtle touch of symbolism, a hidden birthstone in an engagement ring is a beautiful option. This could mean placing a small gemstone inside the band sometimes referred to as an engagement ring birthstone inside or engagement ring with birthstone under the setting, so only the wearer knows it’s there. It’s a discreet yet meaningful detail that adds emotional depth to your ring.

 At Lily Arkwright, our customisation options and bespoke design service allows you to personalise every element, including hidden gems within the band.
