IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! 

It’s fall y’all! Many couples get engaged in the spring or during the winter holidays but why not set your spooky love apart with a proposal during the fall months? The crunchy fall leaves and crisp autumnal weather create the perfect backdrop for a romantic autumnal engagement afterall. So heat up some warm mulled wine and gather around an apple crisp, we've rounded up our five favorite spooky engagement rings that perfectly encapsulate the start of the fall season: Mabon and the fall equinox!

WHAT IS MABON? 

Mabon is upon us and it’s time to celebrate! Mabon, also known as the autumnal equinox, heralds us into the fall season and returns this year on September 23rd.

Mabon is a traditionally Pagan holiday, but many civilizations celebrate the occasion by coming together for harvest festivals and giving thanks for a fruitful crop season. This time of year was historically perfect for farmers to gauge how well the gardens and fields did, and how well fed livestock became. It was a moment to rejoice that our families might last throughout the winter.

The name Mabon itself comes from the Welsh God, the son of the Celtic Mother Goddess, though the name was adapted in the 1970s and not originally linked to the Celtic cultures.

Mabon also runs parallel to the original American Thanksgiving, as it was previously celebrated the first week of October. We’re feeling extra grateful nowadays, while our cropping days are over, we still believe in love coming to fruition, and what better way to celebrate than with Mabon and fall-equinox-inspired engagement rings?

THE NAPLES OREGON SUNSTONE TRIO RING

The Naples Oregon Sunstone trio ring is a perfect example of a Mabon-inspired spooky engagement ring. This piece features a hand-forged ring cast from a real twig in solid yellow, rose, or white gold, or platinum band. The show-stopping center gem consists of a bicolored Oregon sunstone, beset with two smaller light blue sunstones. The ring itself is reminiscent of an autumnal bouquet ripe after Mabon falls, and sits gorgeously on the finger of your loved

one. The Naples Oregon Sunstone Trio ring is a perfect pick for a fall engagement as the colors of the stone mirror the colors of the world during the autumn season when you make the choice together to choose each other forever.

NAPLES MOONSTONE HALF HALO RING 

Let your love see your halo, with the Naples Moonstone Half Halo Ring. This ring is a beautiful choice for an autumn engagement ring thanks to its dazzling 7mm rainbow moonstone centerpiece and outer celestial diamonds.

Carved from a winterberry twig, this piece can be cast in three shades of gold as well as platinum, but the real gem here is the breathtaking moonstone.

The ring’s iridescent stone brings to mind the glorious milky orb of the Harvest Moon which occurs shortly after the autumnal equinox. The celestial diamonds surrounding the stone, and the moonstone’s close resemblance to the moon itself, make this piece a standout for mystical moonstruck lovers, crazy only for each other.

Choose this autumn engagement ring for your love that lingers, like long shadows in the bright early evening moonlight, beneath the bright Harvest Moon.

THE CALAIS MORGANITE BEZEL RING 

The Calais Morganite Bezel Ring is another keen choice for the ethereal partner hoping for a fall engagement ring. The ring holds an oval pale blush bezel Morganite set centerstage, delicately framed by two bright pink sapphires. The varying shades of pale pink, peach, and brightness add a luxurious feel to the ring and the wearer. The hues of pink and peach remind us of ripening apples, ready and waiting to be picked during the fall equinox, just as we pick our partners for every season of life.

The light sheen of the bezel Morganite set coupled with the bright pink sapphires ushers in memories of the light and dark sides of life, and assures us that with the right partner, we can get through anything.

The Juniper Alexandrite Cluster Ring is a beautiful choice for the witchy, earthy partner. This piece is adorned with a handcrafted lab born Alexandrite stone in a stately pear shape.

This is an otherworldly choice for the mystical love in your life. With its organic form cast in Ashe Juniper branch, and striking deep purple hued Alexandrite, this piece is at home with the ethereal partner who embraces the magical side of life.

Fall is the perfect time to embrace that witchy aesthetic, layering up in eggplant tones and burnt orange hues, this ring is a beautiful touch with its cool purple gem and warm gold band. While tans fade and skin pales slightly, your love never will.

Hewn from deep in the forest, this ring returns the wearer to a grounded state, and represents the unique and solid love you share together. The nooks and crannies of the Ashe Juniper band allow the stones to marry well with each other, as will the pair of you, united in your magical nature as above and so below.

NAPLES STAR SAPPHIRE HALF HALO RING

The Naples Star Sapphire Half Halo Ring is one more great choice of many for Mabon-inspired engagement rings. This out-of-this-world ring features a dynamic 6mm lab cultivated star sapphire, with unmatched depth and definition, with one adjoining twig reserved for a halo of small diamonds on the side.

Feeling spooky? The gorgeous claw-like clasps that hold the star sapphire in place remind us of a lover’s lane sinister story where a couple would spend an amorous evening, only to be greeted by a hook handed stranger out for blood and seeking entrance into their car. Fear not, lovers, there is nothing to fear with this stunning ring and you’ll live to hold each other another day!

The stone itself is so deeply hued in sapphire dreams it could nearly not be of this mortal realm. The design casts our eyes to the stars and the mysteries within them, as Carl Sagan looked to the cosmos and wrote that it was “full beyond measure of elegant truths, of exquisite interrelationships, of the awesome machinery of nature”. This stone and ring is a ghastly great fit for the pair that leans hard into their supernatural but exquisite engagement and otherworldly love.
