Antique Engagement Ring Setting Still a Popular Choice
If a ring is between fifty and a hundred years old, it’s considered an antique. Today, there is a growing interest in antique diamond engagement rings. These beautifully crafted, unique engagement ring mountings reflect different jewelry eras, including the Victorian, Edwardian, Vintage Retro, and Art Deco. Below, you’ll find some helpful information to help you decide which type of antique engagement ring setting will suit the love of your life.
The Victorian era brought yellow and Rose Gold to the forefront. Yellow gold was associated with purity, while rose gold was thought of as the most romantic. Usually featuring multiple rows of diamonds, these unique engagement ring mountings might also have some intricate designs. If you’re looking for a true Victorian antique engagement ring setting, be prepared to spend some time searching. A true antique, these rings were popular during the 1800s.
The Edwardian era are generally made of platinum and are usually the intricate of all the antique engagement ring settings. Popular during the first twenty years or so of the 20th century, these unique engagement ring mountings usually contained filigree details or lacy designs. Rose colored diamonds were very popular and were often paired with sapphires or white diamonds. These rings appeared soft and elegant, which would be quite a change from the upcoming Art Deco era.
The Art Deco era antique engagement ring setting is the most unique. Quite similar to a cocktail ring, these rings often featured contrasting, brightly colored gemstones. These unique engagement ring mountings did not appear as fragile as those from previous eras and were often symmetrical or geometric in design. Today, these rings enjoy a lot of popularity, simply because they are the most unique. Most of these rings were found between 1920 and 1945.
The Vintage Retro antique engagement ring setting was quite similar to an Art Deco setting, but often has more bulk. Often referred to as “right hand rings,” most were made of gold. This is because platinum was needed during World War II. Yellow and white gold became very popular and still is today. These rings were brightly colored, with multiple gemstones, and are actually fairly difficult to locate today. This is because of the high demand for these antique rings.
A number of jewelers can create an antique engagement ring setting for you if you do not want to try to find a true antique. However, this is not a simple process. You will want to have a fairly good idea of what you want created and expect it to take some time. There are a few jewelers online that offer these unique engagement ring mountings regularly and this may be a better choice in terms of cost and availability.
In closing, an antique engagement ring setting can be quite beautiful, especially when paired with a colored diamond. Choose your jeweler carefully and make sure you get one of the unique engagement ring mountings you really want.
