Having already become a haven for unconventional jewelry designers and funky wearable arts, the shop Auto has commissioned 15 of their favorite jewelers to re–envision the commitment ring. Running the gamut from more classic diamond bands to coiled mythical serpents with diamond eyes, designers including Philip Crangi, St. Kilda, Hannah Clark, and Auto have crafted pieces for just about any soulmates–to–be. And with the evolving meaning behind matrimony these days, it's the perfect time for this new breed of commitment rings to start making their way down the aisles.
