What Defines an Antique Engagement Ring?

An engagement ring is considered antique when it is over 100 years old. These rings reflect the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of their time, from hand-cut diamonds to ornate metalwork and filigree. Our antique rings include:

  • Victorian Antique Engagement Rings (1837–1901): Romantic designs with yellow gold and old mine cut diamonds.

  • Edwardian Antique Engagement Rings (1901–1915): Light, lace-like platinum details with delicate settings.

  • Early Art Deco Antique Engagement Rings (1915–1929): Bold geometry, clean lines, and old European cut stones.

Each piece has been thoughtfully selected for inclusion in our collection.

How Antique Differs from Vintage

While both antique and vintage rings celebrate history, antique rings predate 1930 and were made entirely by hand, reflecting earlier eras of craftsmanship. Vintage engagement rings (1930 and later) include mid-century and retro designs, which we feature in a separate Vintage Engagement Rings Collection.

This distinction allows you to explore designs aligned with your aesthetic and era of interest.

Custom Work Inspired by Antique Design

For clients who love the detail and character of antique rings but prefer a new creation, we also craft custom engagement rings inspired by antique styles. Our designs honor period motifs — such as hand engraving, milgrain edges, and old-cut diamonds, while incorporating your choice of metal and stone.
