Originating from the romantic era of days gone by, the vintage ring style is both timeless and unique. Today many couples consider an antique-styled engagement ring instead of the contemporary ring style to symbolize their unique and special love for one another. A bride-to-be planning to get married in her grandmother’s dress, or in a suit bought at a consignment boutique, may be particularly interested in a vintage engagement ring. Design characteristics include delicate diamonds surrounding a larger center stone creating a halo effect, or intricate metal or diamond detailing for a more ornate antique look.

Before purchasing an antique-styled engagement ring, it is important to find one that can withstand every day wear. A modern vintage style is a quality ring with an antique appearance, whereas a true antique ring will likely need to be cleaned to restore its near-original appearance. Professional cleaning can be done for a minimal charge. With routine maintenance, your vintage ring should last for many years to come.

The ultimate classic engagement ring style is the traditional single diamond solitaire; and the most popular choice is the round brilliant-cut diamond set in a plain mounting with four or six prongs. The round stone shape best features the diamond’s fire, sparkle and brilliance.

Other notable diamond solitaire shapes include the contemporary princess-cut; the marquise shape which is flattering for women with slender fingers; the romantic heart-shaped diamond; the pear shape or teardrop; the classic emerald cut; the cushion cut, the faceted asscher or radiant cut, and the non-traditional oval shape.

The metal used in the band, or shank, may be yellow or white gold, or platinum—which comes with a steeper price tag for its durability.

The elegant diamond solitaire will always be in fashion. It can be pared with a plain or diamond band or a ring guard—also called wrap—that frames and enhances the solitaire diamond so that it stands out beautifully.

The halo ring is a vintage style ring that is currently trending in popularity. The style has its roots in the heirloom ring that your grandmother may have worn.

The halo ring style consists of a center stone surrounded by a circle of small accent diamonds. Various gemstone shapes including the round, princess, cushion, emerald and oval may be accented with a halo of small diamonds. The halo visually expands the appearance of the center by as much as a half-carat or more, giving it a larger and bolder appearance than the classic solitaire. 

The halo ring style is typically set with diamonds as the center stone, although it can be set with all sorts of gemstones including the ruby, sapphire and jade.

Because of its increasing popularity, modern style rings are also being created with the halo appearance. Halo ring styles are very popular among celebrities and royalty. Princess Diana’s now famous beautiful sapphire halo ring has been passed down to Duchess Kate Middleton.

The three-stone ring represents yesterday, today, and forever - celebrating a couple’s lifetime journey together. Each stone is symbolic; representing the time they’ve shared in the past, the love they enjoy today, and for all that’s ahead in their future. The three-stones convey a beautiful sentiment about the couple’s love, and are displayed in a glamorous setting.

A popular classic engagement ring style, the three-stone setting is also prevalent in vintage and modern ring styles. Any stone shape can be used in the setting. The classic style ordinarily has round or emerald cut stones, while the princess cut is common in the vintage style. A mix of stone shapes may be typical in the modern ring style. 

Three-stone settings can be three similarly sized diamonds, or a larger center stone, adjoined by two smaller side stones. The center stone may be any gemstone, such as a sapphire or ruby, set with diamond side stones.

The sparkle and shine on a three-stone ring is absolutely stunning.
