Something Old, Something New, Borrowed and Something Blue!

I heard an old song today, and it reminded me of my favorite old radio station WNEW FM. Am I showing my age again!? Well, why am I writing about WNEW FM on an antique engagement ring blog? Because I remember a DJ on WNEW who had a segment called "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue." I think of the time honored tradition of brides to be trying to include these types of things in their ensembles on their wedding day. I also think of vintage rings, and how we can incorporate this. "Something old" is a a beautiful antique engagement ring. "Something new" could be an estate micropave ring. "Something borrowed," to me, is a beautiful vintage engagement ring, and "something blue" is a sapphire or aquamarine engagement ring. This wonderful saying means as much to brides, and antique lovers, today than it did in the 1970's or the 1930's. We welcome you to view our wonderful something old, new, borrowed and blue vintage engagement rings . Enjoy!

Something Old: Antique Engagement Ring

When i think of "Something Old" I think of a dazzling antique engagement ring, or maybe a stunning Art Deco engagement ring with sapphires. Something old would include a beautiful mine cut diamond with beautiful filigree embellishments, usually in platinum circa 1920's or 1930's.

Antique Diamond Cuts

Two essential elements of antique engagement rings are the wonderful artistry of the past master jewelers, and the glorious antique cuts they used for their one of a kind a timeless works of arts. Beautiful antique cuts, used as center diamonds, include mine cut, old european cut, and in some instances rose cut diamonds . These antique cuts are, as we love to say, "sweet." They have less dispersion and brilliance, yet that's what makes them so special. They truly capture that time in history when things were simpler. Now with a resurgence of antique engagement rings, antique cuts have come back into prominence and are in high demand. Here is a list and description of our collection antique cuts.

Mine Cut Diamonds

Mine cut diamonds, or old mine cut diamonds , were the first antique cut diamond. They are the earliest form of the modern brilliant cut and date back to the early 1800's. Mine cut diamonds were shaped into a large and high crown, with a round to rectangular girdle, a deep pavilion, and a large faceted culet giving a less stated look. Fun Fact: Diamond cutters did not have the knowledge, or available machinery, to produce these so they were cut by hand. Mine cut diamonds were also very popular during the Victorian era.

Why We Love Art Deco Engagement Rings

Why do we love the words "Art Deco" or "Vintage?" There's nothing so special about these words, but maybe we love Art Deco engagement rings because of the beautiful filigree, milgrain or latticework that master jewelers used on these works of art decades ago. Or is it the journey, the stories and history these pretty antique rings have behind them having traveled all these years? Could it be that we love the beautiful look of mine cut and european cut diamonds, the simple elegance of them? Or the beautiful worn look antique engagement rings have after decades of enjoyment, like your favorite pair of worn in jeans!? It could be, but I think the reason we love vintage engagement rings so much is the symbolism these rings bring. One magic moment, when that special person in your life gives you that unique piece. A Vintage engagement ring is like an old friend who puts a smile on your face everytime you see them. At least that's what they do for me. I know every time I put my antique engagement ring on, I think of my mother who gave it to me. It takes me back to a time when she also loved wearing her ring, and I would watch, every time she put her ring on, the joy it brought to her face. Then she gave it to me, as I will give it to one of my girls. So go ahead, start your journey with a vintage engagement ring, or antique diamond ring, and I guarantee it will put a smile on your face. Every time you put on your antique engagement ring it will brings you back to that a special place. I welcome you to enjoy five beautiful Art Deco engagement rings!
