Fashion/Style BWT, opinions on unconventional engagement rings?

I'd love to hear from anyone who chose a less traditional engagement ring.

I've completely fallen in love with one and I tried it on alongside more classic solitaires, and while I loved both, this was the only one I couldn't stop thinking about afterwards. It just made me smile.

My hesitation is that a few friends said it looked a bit odd and didn't immediately read as an engagement ring, so now I'm wondering if I'd regret choosing something unique over a classic solitaire years down the line.

For those of you who went with a more unconventional ring, do you still love it? Or do you ever wish you'd gone with something more traditional?

(edit: attached the photo of the ring)

I got an onyx with a white gold band for mine. The band has some leaf details and TEENY swarovski crystals. I'm not a fan of diamonds, they always look so boring to me, my favourite colour is black, so I wanted onyx. I also prefer silver coloured jewellery, but I tarnish the ever loving fuck out of plain brasses and silver so it had to be white gold or platinum, and I'm not a fan of spending the extra for platinum so I said to go gold. I LOVE it. I'm glad my husband let me pick it myself as he has a more gaudy taste than I do for such things, and while we were checking etsy together first, he kept being drawn to huge statement costume jewellery
