Buying Guide for Vintage Inspired Engagement Rings
Choosing a vintage-inspired engagement ring comes down to understanding the details that shape this style. Here are the key things to consider:
- Select the era that resonates: Decide whether you prefer Art Deco geometry, Edwardian engraving, or the flowing lines found in Art Nouveau–inspired designs.
- Choose a diamond shape that complements the look: Emerald, oval, marquise, and pear shapes often pair naturally with vintage-inspired settings.
- Consider the metal tone: Yellow, white, or rose gold each brings out different aspects of engraving, filigree, and pattern work.
- Look at the level of detailing: Vintage engagement ring settings feature milgrain edges, engraving, or openwork metal that add character and echo antique design elements.
- Check the band profile and comfort: Pick a width and shape that fits your daily routine so the ring feels good from day to day.
- Balance style with durability: Ensure the setting supports your preferred diamond shape and offers reliable wear over time.
