Vintage
Engagement Rings
Vintage
Engagement Rings are a fashion trend for the new millennium. Due to
the demand, it is common to find numerous outlets specializing in
selling vintage jewelry. Depending on the style and design, vintage
engagement rings can range from fairly cheap to very expensive.
Due to the percieved value of owning a traditional classic piece of
art and design, vintage engagement rings and jewelry are highly
sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
The term
Vintage Style Engagement Rings
denotes that the ring was made during the period it appears to
represent. Usually, Vintage Engagement Rings cover the period from
1930 to 1950 and encompasses the dainty Filigree Engagement Rings in
platinum or white gold from the 1930's that are still very much
sought after.
From 1930 to
1950 Sapphire Engagement Rings set with Ceylon Sapphires, Ruby
Engagement Rings set with Burma Rubies, and Emerald Engagement Rings
set with Columbian Emeralds became more available and more acceptable
as a token of marital intention, along with the more common
Antique-cut Diamonds used in Vintage Diamond Engagement Rings.
Vintage
Engagement Rings covers everything from Filigree Engagement Rings and
1930's Vintage Platinum Engagement Rings, to Retro Engagement Rings
from the 1940's. Hollow chunky rose-gold Retro Rings typically set
with rubies was a bold style well suited to the women in the 1940's
who had taken over jobs left by men called to arms.
Diamond
Engagement rings
The Egyptians
believed that there was a vein connecting the ring finger to the
heart. An engagement ring therefore needs to be special. A Vintage Diamond
Engagement Ring mounted with European-cut, Old Mine-cut or
Rose-cut Diamonds is the answer to the required need. In 1947, De
Beers started their marketing campaign called “A Diamond is
forever”. From being obsolete during the war, platinum was
now available for Vintage Platinum Diamond Engagement Rings because
De Beers controlled 65% of the diamond mines. Diamonds hence became
to symbolize the union of marriage.
Platinum
Engagement Rings
US Government
banned the use of Vintage Platinum Engagement Rings when World War II
began and it was declared a strategic metal for use only in military
applications. White Gold Engagement rings replaced platinum
engagement rings which became more popular after the Second World War.
