I was driving with my husband and two children to the beach a few weeks ago and noticed a row of beautiful old colonial houses. Then a beautiful old Cadillac passed us by, and I thought, "my goodness, they just don't make houses or cars like that anymore!" It's the same with vintage engagement rings , they just don't make engagement rings like they used to. Today, engagement rings are made using rubber molds, or by computer simulation. Decades ago during the Victorian, Art Deco or Edwardian eras, master jewelers actually sat behind a bench for weeks on end working on their future masterpieces. These pieces had the stunning handcrafted bold designs of the Art Deco era, beautiful rose gold settings from the Victorian era, and gorgeous milgrain emebllishments from the Edwardian era. Here are five beautiful vintage engagement rings that you will love!
Art Deco Engagement Rings
They sure don't make them like this anymore, and they really can't! Master jewelers sat for weeks on end, performing their beautiful little miracles, creating unique filigree and milgrain embellishments, and bold and feminine designs. This Art Deco engagement ring features a bright white 1.20 carat old european cut diamond, surrounded by more old european cut diamonds, all residing in a rare Art Deco platinum setting, circa 1930's. Art Deco engagement rings offer the finest antique artistry, with bold geometric designs, that are one of a kind!
