Vintage engagement rings have a rich history all their own, having been passed through different generations, relationships, and love stories.

The Significance of Vintage Engagement Rings
The term 'vintage' refers to any piece of jewelry that is over 20 years old, but less than 100 years old. Vintage engagement rings are unique, the quality and precision are undeniable, and many cost less than the mass-produced rings of today. Each ring has its own distinct look from its respective era, so you will never find two identical designs. Furthermore, because of the rings ages and how they've been produced, our collection is always ethical and conflict free, and the metals are eco-friendly.

Timeless Eras - The eras defining vintage engagement rings date back to the 1970s and before. Beginning with the Art Deco Era (1915-1930s), this span of time featured bold, dynamic, colorful creations within milgrain and geometric designs. The Retro Era (1940s) is noted for its large mesmerizing cocktail rings along with flashy colored gemstone rings all usually set within rose and yellow gold. Diamonds were preferred during the Mid-Century era (1950-1960s). Rings with classic feminine designs were crafted, and during the 1960s more colorful rings emerged to represent the free spirit and the individuality of the decade.
