What are Asymmetrical Engagement Rings?

At Jason Ree, we love to embrace originality and create our unique twist on the traditional. This is why we love asymmetrical jewellery. Asymmetrical engagement rings break away from the traditional, symmetrical design seen in most classic rings.

If you consider how most traditional rings follow a uniform and balanced approach, asymmetrical jewellery embraces irregularity. We often design asymmetrical engagement rings to incorporate a unique arrangement of stones with varying shapes into beautiful and bespoke designs. 

At Jason Ree, we believe that these engagement rings are the perfect choice for a partner who prefers a distinctive and non-traditional look for their jewellery. Whether it’s an asymmetrical diamond engagement ring or perhaps, a colourful blend of different stones and settings, these rings offer a modern twist to the conventional engagement ring.

How to Design an Asymmetrical Engagement Ring

Designing an asymmetrical engagement ring offers endless creativity and personalisation. We design a lot of our rings to have an asymmetrical look to allow for more freedom in our creativity and design. 

Typically, an asymmetrical engagement ring design will feature varied stone sizes, colours, and shapes. Whether it’s a two-stone, a three-stone, a five-stone, or perhaps a singular stone with a metal differentiation, there is a design for everyone. Sometimes the two stone shapes can differ, like a marquis cut with two oval diamonds, or a pear and oval - the opportunities are endless. What we love about asymmetrical jewellery is that the possibilities are limitless, allowing Jason to craft a piece that truly reflects personal style and symbolism.

What Elements Are Important in Asymmetrical Design?

The key to a successful asymmetrical engagement ring design lies in its balance, even within its inherent imbalance. It's about finding harmony in the contrast.

The placement of stones is a key aspect of asymmetrical engagement ring designs. For example, an asymmetrical cluster engagement ring often features several smaller stones arranged in a unique, offset pattern. These stones should complement one another while still allowing the main stone to stand out. 

Contrast in colour and shape is another essential element in asymmetrical designs. At Jason Ree, we love working with different coloured gemstones, so asymmetrical jewellery design is a particular favourite of our head artisan designer, Jason. We know that pairing different coloured stones, such as diamonds with sapphires or emeralds, creates a bold finished piece. Combining round stones with marquise or pear-shaped stones can result in a striking and unique look, which we love to create. 

Additionally, incorporating textures and intricate detailing adds a more personalised touch to each piece of jewellery. We particularly love doing this with bespoke engagement rings: from engraving the park where couples first met, or an inside joke on the inner band, the added touch is a beautiful twist on a spectacular piece of jewellery. 

Asymmetrical Coloured Stone Rings

While diamonds are forever, there is something beautiful about a coloured engagement ring, and in asymmetrical jewellery, this can be a perfect twist on a forever piece. 

For those wanting to move away from traditional diamonds, asymmetrical coloured stone rings provide a unique way to express individuality through both colour and design. We work with a wide range of gemstones, including the stunning variety of hues offered by sapphires. From bold yellows and oranges to vibrant reds, blues, and greens, we use many beautiful Australian sapphires. We also incorporate emeralds, rubies, diamonds, and more, crafting with a rainbow of colours every day.

We love that colour enables us to create something personal, like a gemstone with a hidden meaning to the wearer, or perhaps birthstones for an added touch of something special.
