I love that you want to break away from those cookie-cutter designs. For a truly artistic ring, you should look for unique gemstone cuts and unexpected color profiles. I found some incredible design inspiration at Tsarina Jewels https://tsarinajewels.com/ where they use rare Russian stones in modern settings. Choosing gemstones and high end jewelry like a cushion-cut emerald or a horizontal East-West set alexandrite gives the ring a completely fresh, architectural feel. The way a natural alexandrite shifts from teal to purple depending on the room's light is so romantic for an engagement. It creates a beautiful symbol for your relationship that is entirely unique. Look for geometric bands or brushed metal textures to make the piece feel like a commissioned work of fine art.
