Understand The History of Vintage Engagement Rings

If you're interested in purchasing a vintage engagement ring, it's important to understand the history behind these timeless pieces. From the early 1900s through the 1960s, vintage engagement rings featured a variety of unique design elements, including intricate filigree, detailed engraving, and stunning gemstones. 

By learning more about the history of vintage engagement rings and becoming aware of the different vintage ring styles, you'll be better equipped to find the perfect vintage-style ring that suits your personal style and preferences. 

Look For Vintage-Inspired Engagement Rings

If you're not able to find an authentic vintage engagement ring that suits your needs, don't worry! Many jewellery designers today create vintage-inspired engagement rings that feature the same design elements and details as vintage rings, but with modern craftsmanship and materials. Look for rings that incorporate unique vintage details, such as milgrain edging or filigree patterns, for a stunning and timeless look.

Choose A Metal That Complements the Vintage Style

When it comes to vintage engagement rings, the metal is just as important as the design. Traditional vintage rings were typically made from yellow gold or platinum, but modern vintage-style rings may feature rose gold or white gold as well. Choose a metal that complements the vintage style you're going for, and consider the durability and maintenance requirements of each option.

As vintage inspired engagement rings and wedding rings have become increasingly popular, many have chosen vintage designs for their engagement ring whilst also incorporating modern elements to achieve a more personalised flair. Customising the metal and design of your vintage style engagement ring is a great way to achieve a more modern adaptation of a vintage style. 

Select a Gemstone That Speaks To You

Vintage engagement rings often feature stunning gemstones, such as diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds. When selecting a vintage-style engagement ring, choose a gemstone that speaks to you and reflects your personal style. Whether you prefer a classic diamond or a colourful gemstone, there are plenty of options available to create a truly unique and beautiful engagement ring.

More recently, a popular choice amongst individuals getting engaged is emerald coloured gemstones due to their timeless appeal and classic deep green colour.
