Vintage engagement rings made with Vintage metals

Vintage Engagement Rings covers everything from Filigree Engagement Rings and Vintage platinum engagement rings to Retro Engagement Rings. The term Vintage Engagement Ring denotes that the ring was not made during the period it appears to represent. During this period Sapphire Engagement Rings set with Ceylon Sapphires, Ruby Engagement Rings set with Burma Rubies and Emerald Engagement Rings set with Columbian Emeralds, became more available and more acceptable as a token of marital intention, along with the more common Antique-cut Diamonds used in Vintage Diamond Rings.

Constructed from sleek platinum this opulent diamond center stone is mounted in a quixotic heart motif pierced openwork crown surroundings and geometric openwork shoulders. This ring is accomplished with a sleek spherical platinum band and an easily sizeable shank.

Vintage Cuts: Because jewelers of the past didn‘t have access to the precise technology available today and they had to develop the art of cutting each stone. While these flaws may devalue the piece slightly, that depreciation is often countered by the intricacy and age of the ring.

Vintage Metals: Platinum wasn‘t used extensively in engagement rings until the beginning of the 1900‘s. Until then, yellow gold was the most prominent metal. Today, ring purchasers can choose from white gold, yellow gold, and platinum, as well as various combinations.

Care of a Vintage Ring: Vintage rings are not made to be worn every day. Plan on removing your ring before cleaning, yard work, or sports activities, and always store it in a safe location. It should be professionally cleaned as well.
