About Vintage & Antique Style Engagement Rings

The vintage (antique) engagement rings dates back to the early 18th century.  Vintage is a term to describe a style or era, where a true antique engagement ring is a minimum of 50 years of age. Any engagement ring made before 1960 is an antique, but its vintage style or the era it represents depends on how the ring was made.  The Georgian style engagement ring reflected the limited resources of the day.  The vintage engagement rings were made of yellow gold with fine intricate metal works.  What identified the era the most was the use of ribbon and butterfly designs, but the designers of the day were also influenced by Greek architecture and design using wheat stalks, doves, acorns, scrolls, and flowers in their designs.  

The Victorian Engagement Ring era is marked by Queen Victoria's love for diamonds and her reign from 1837-1901.  Victorian designs were a dramatic improvement over the Georgian.  The styles were large and colorful using gemstones and clusters of diamonds. Victorian Engagement Rings would use multiple colors in the same design, not a style we see today.  The Victorian designs incorporated snakes (a sign of everlasting love) and Celtic symbols.   Custom designing a Victorian Engagement Ring today has incorporated Celtic designs and diamonds.  We are seeing fewer gemstones used in these designs.

Vintage Engagement Rings evolved during the time of the first world war.  The Industrial Age was in full swing and an artistic movement was growing.  Around 1915 Art Deco Engagement rings were introduced.  These rings reflected the Edwardian rings from a decade earlier but had more geometric designs. Art Deco was everywhere and looked like it was here to stay, but hard economic times in the United States in the 1930s, an uneasiness in Hollywood and a growing disturbance in Europe  left consumers making more economical choices.  Custom Art Deco Engagement Rings are still in demand influencing designers today.
