Inspired by the beauty and elegance of previous eras, antique vintage diamond engagement rings are a top choice ring to use in proposals. Provided below is a brief note on three eras of designs that inspired antique vintage diamond rings.
Victorian Rings (1835-1901)
Victorian rings are difficult to find these days as they were made a very long ago. However, you can sometimes find these rare artifacts in antique jewelers. The main design pattern of the Victorian era is intricate scroll engravings. Very often, you can see a Victorian ring with a big centerpiece surrounded by a halo of gemstones rather than diamonds.
Edwardian Rings (Early 1900’s)
Edwardian antique vintage diamond engagement rings feature ornate details. The key aspect here is filigree detailing, which is usually done in platinum bands due to its high heat tolerability. An additional detailing, if it is present, will be milgrain details with small beads in a decorative pattern.
Art Deco Rings (1920’s to 1940’s)
Art Deco rings feature geometric shapes and symmetry. For designing this, cut stones like French cut and trillion cuts are used. Here, stones like sapphire paired with diamonds, or emerald with diamonds, are used to highlight contrasting colors. In addition, platinum bands were widely preferred during this era too. Many modern Holiday designs are based around the Art Deco style, so it may be a good choice of accessory around the Holidays in particular!
