Antique Style Engagement Rings

Even in these modern times, I’ve found that when it comes to weddings, most couples are fairly traditional. The old wedding traditions and look of things is still very appealing. If that’s you, you might like to look at some antique style wedding rings. Not old rings, but newly manufactured antique looking rings.

You may have in your possession an old ring that belonged to your grandparents or even parents. But likely it is worn by time and not suitable for wearing anymore. But now you can often find a vintage type ring that looks much like the one you have or perhaps get one made to look very similar.

One advantage of these rings is that you can use a variety of materials including stainless tell, titanium, white gold and more.  Finding bands to go with it is pretty easy too.

To give you some idea of what you can find in these rings and prices, here are a few examples found online.

With this ring, the center stone is held in place by 8 prongs! In the crown are four round cut diamonds and another four to the 4 sides of the center. The ring is 18K white gold with a wheat pattern and millgrain edging.

At the time of this writing this setting sells for $695. Of course, you also add the center stone. Either you can provide your own or order one from the seller in this case.

While you are able to enjoy the classic beauty of this ring throughout your marriage, imagine this ring being passed down over the generations. Again, with a wheat pattern which by the way symbolized a fruitful harvest. The setting is enhanced with diamond set flowers, bows and edging.

Sixteen diamonds in all adorn this ring. At the time of this writing this mounting listed for $970.

Mid-Century Platinum Engagement Ring Setting  

This one is called retro-modern. The stone is held by a impressive “fishtell” prong (4). Scroll shoulders add to overall beauty on each side of the stone in the center. At the time of this writing, this setting sells for $1,010.   

Summary: 

As you research further these rings, you’ll find that some are fairly simple in design and look. Other will be more fancy.  For example, in Victorian days what is called the snake design was all the rage. It is pretty but you might find it difficult to wear on a day to day basis. So how fancy or plain a look you want is up to you. You’ll know when you see them which is right for you.

When you look at these rings, they typically come in a certain ring size, but of course can be special ordered to fit you. You might check to see if shipping and insurance is included or you have to pay extra.
