WHAT IS THE VINTAGE RING STYLE?

Vintage-style engagement rings use classic techniques to revamp popular and contemporary bridal jewelry collections. Vintage-style rings feature an heirloom quality and dramatic look that can be passed down for generations.

These can be anything from subtle and elegant to bold and geometric, each with a classic beauty that illuminates your bright future. Vintage engagement ring styles span centuries and include famous periods like art deco, art nouveau, and the Edwardian era.

What constitutes a vintage engagement ring? Various elements can come together to create a look taken from yesteryear's favorite styles. Here are the vintage engagement ring characteristics to look for.

THE ORNATE MILGRAIN

Milgrain beading along the edge of the ring provides a dramatic border for many vintage engagement rings. Milgrain beading can draw the eye to the stunning center stone and add a touch of vintage personality to your ring.

Tacori’s Classic Crescent RoyalT engagement ring is the ultimate vintage-inspired ring for large center stones. This ring combines the diamond-heavy look of their anniversary bands with the regal refinement of the RoyalT collection. Mix or match diamond shapes from your center stone and shank. Milgrain beading across the borders of the stones adds an air of elegance.

THE FEROCIOUS FILIGREE

Filigree are curled and twisted designs formed from fine strands of metal. In Edwardian jewelry, filigrees were often elegant and ornate to represent status and wealth. Filigree can be styled into various shapes, patterns, and designs to complement any style.

KNOW YOUR GEOMETRY

Retro styles like art deco incorporate geometric designs, parallel lines, and symmetry to create a recognizable and bold look. In vintage engagement rings, you can choose from different center stones, side stones, and setting shapes to reflect your loved one’s style.

Simon G has many spectacular and luxurious pieces, and this mosaic engagement ring is one of them. It features a contrasting white and rose gold design with a center mosaic of white round and emerald-cut diamonds. Fine milgrain detailing borders the stones to create an even more romantic look.

NATURALISTIC DETAILS

Organic elements have long inspired jewelry makers. During the Georgian era (1714-1830), jewelers made sumptuous and exuberant pieces designed for the upper class. Naturalistic elements such as floral and botanical designs are found across metal work depicting flora and fauna alike.
