Here is our guide on where to perfect the perfect cutting-edge engagement ring for the woman who won’t be constrained by convention.

For today’s fashionable wife-to-be, Picchiotti’s aptly named Xpandable collection is a smart choice. The house celebrated its 50th anniversary last year with a 60-piece bridal collection featuring rings that can expand up to two sizes. The standout piece from the collection is undoubtedly the Purple Sapphire Ring Cod. At the center is a 3.72-carat unheated natural purple sapphire, surrounded by 2.37 carats of white diamonds. The end result is a soft and feminine ring for a glamorous everyday look.
