Vintage engagement rings borrow the details of antique jewelry: milgrain edges, engraved bands, filigree, floral and leaf motifs and Art Deco halos. Each one is a setting, newly made, and you choose the center stone in the next step. Every design takes a round center, and most also come for heart, pear, emerald-cut, radiant and other shapes, in 10K, 14K or 18K white, yellow or rose gold. The details that make a ring look vintage Milgrain: a row of tiny metal beads along the edges of the band or around the center. Engraving: carved patterns along the sides of the band. Filigree: open lacework in the metal under the center or along the shoulders. Floral, leaf and vine motifs that frame the center. Halos and bezels that circle the center in lab-grown diamond accents or metal. Art Deco, Edwardian and Victorian looks Art Deco rings from the 1920s and 1930s favor geometric lines, step cuts such as the emerald cut, and crisp halos. Edwardian rings from the early 1900s are light and lacy, with filigree and milgrain in white metal. Victorian rings lean on floral motifs and warm yellow gold. The settings here mix these cues, so look for the details you like rather than a period label. Metal, accents and price Yellow and rose gold give a warm, antique feel, while white gold suits Art Deco and Edwardian looks. Many designs carry lab-grown diamond accents in pavé, side stones or a halo, and some are plain solitaires with engraving or milgrain only. Settings start from about $500, and most are between about $1,300 and $1,950. That price is for the setting; the center is priced when you choose it.

Vintage Engagement Rings FAQs What makes an engagement ring look vintage? Details from earlier eras make a ring look vintage: milgrain beading, engraved or carved bands, filigree, floral and leaf motifs, and halos or bezels around the center. Geometric Art Deco lines and step-cut shapes add to the effect. The rings in this collection are newly made settings that use these details, with lab-grown diamond accents on many designs and a center you choose in the next step. What are the different styles of vintage rings? The main vintage styles follow their eras. Georgian and Victorian rings use yellow gold, floral motifs and clusters. Edwardian rings are light and lacy, with filigree and milgrain. Art Deco rings have geometric shapes, step cuts and bold halos, and retro rings of the 1940s use chunky rose and yellow gold. This collection includes vintage-style halo, solitaire, three stone, cathedral and bezel settings with these details. How old does a ring have to be to be considered vintage? A ring is usually called vintage when it is at least 20 to 30 years old, and antique when it is 100 years old or more. Newly made rings in an older style are called vintage-inspired or vintage-style, which describes the settings in this collection: each is made to order with period details such as milgrain, engraving and filigree, in white, yellow or rose gold.
