I'm hardly the authority on gothic engagement rings, but back in the day, I hung out on the the fringe of the goth crowd for a short period. I went through several months in a haze of charcoal eye-liner, fishnet stockings, and listening to the Cure......but I digress.

Gothic engagement rings can range on the spectrum from classy to shocking. It's whatever you want...duh...it's your engagement ring. You may want to go with a somewhat more traditional ring if you must hide your gothness during your average 9 to 5 job. If your gothness pervades every aspect of your day, then go all out and get whatever your dark heart desires.

Go ahead and google this website: "Dragonweave Jewelry" for some ideas for gothic engagement rings: Some of the rings to check out are the

- Life and Death Ringband: A polished pewter ring band with reversible script. In one direction the gothic lettering reads "life" but if you turn it over the same word reads "death".

- Deus Et Natura Ring- This gothic ring symbolizes the triumphant harmony of Nature and The Creator. The solid bronze central band reads "Deus Et Natura No Faciunt Frusta", which is Latin for "God and Nature do not work together in vain." The pewter edge inscription adds "Nature will always win through."
