Finding the Right rings for You
Antique and vintage rings have long held a special place in the hearts of fine jewelry lovers all over the world.
No matter their origin or specific characteristics, rings are timeless, versatile accessories. They’ve carried deep meaning since at least the Middle Ages, when diamond rings symbolized strength and other kinds of rings were worn to signify romantic feelings or to denote an affiliation with a religious order. Rings have also forever been emblematic of eternity.
Over time, rings have frequently taken the form of serpents, which have long been associated with eternal life, health and renewal. Italian luxury jewelry house Bulgari has become famous for its widely loved Serpenti motif, for example, and its Serpenti ring, like the other accessories in the collection, began as an homage to jewelry of the Roman and Hellenistic eras. The serpent is now a popular motif in fine jewelry. Jewelry devotees have long pined for rings adorned with reptiles, thanks to antique Victorian rings — well, specifically, Queen Victoria’s illustrious engagement ring, which took the form of a gold snake set with rubies, diamonds and an emerald (her birthstone). Designs for Victorian-era engagement rings often featured repoussé work and chasing, in which patterns are hammered into the metal.
Engagement rings, which are reliably intimidating to shop for, are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment. On 1stDibs, a range of buying guides can be found for those in the market for antique engagement rings, vintage engagement rings or Art Deco engagement rings.
The most collectible antique engagement rings and vintage engagement rings are those from the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco eras. Named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who in succession ruled England starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign), antique Georgian rings, be they engagement rings or otherwise, are also coveted by collectors. Pearls, along with colored gemstones like garnets, rubies and sapphires, were widely used in Georgian jewelry. The late-1700s paste jewelry was a predecessor to what we now call fashion or costume jewelry.
The Art Nouveau movement (1880–1910) brought with it rings inspired by the natural world. Antique Art Nouveau rings might feature depictions of winged insects and fauna as well as women, who were simultaneously eroticized and romanticized, frequently with long flowing hair. Art Deco jewelry, on the other hand, which originated during the 1920s and ’30s, is by and large “white jewelry.” White metals, primarily platinum, were favored over yellow gold in the design of antique Art Deco rings and other accessories as well as geometric motifs, with women drawn to the era’s dazzling cocktail rings in particular.
Whether you’re hunting down a chunky classic for a Prohibition-themed cocktail party or seeking a clean contemporary design to complement your casual ensemble, find an exquisite collection of antique, new and vintage rings on 1stDibs.
Questions About Different Carat Rings
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023There are many different styles of wedding rings. One of the most traditional types is the minimalist band, which is a simple band ring that may be plain or engraved with patterns. Pavé bands are set with small gemstones placed side by side, while eternity bands show off larger stones positioned all the way around the rings. Wedding rings may also be categorized by metal type with yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum being among the most common varieties. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023There are many different styles of engagement rings. One of the most well-known is the solitaire, which showcases a single large gemstone. Halo rings feature a central stone surrounded by a ring of smaller accent stones, while trilogy rings have one large gemstone flanked by two smaller ones. An engagement ring that has a large central stone surrounded by smaller diamonds that travel most or all the way around its band is a diamond band ring. Settings on diamond band rings can be scalloped, channeled or pavé. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The difference between vintage and antique engagement rings is age. For an engagement ring to be considered an antique, it must be at least 100 years old. Vintage engagement rings are pieces made at least 20 years ago. Shop a collection of vintage and antique engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The difference between vintage and classic engagement rings has to do with taste and time. Vintage engagement rings date back 20 to 80 years and occupy the sweet spot between historic and modern. Whether or not an engagement ring is "classic" may pertain solely to the style of the ring. The solitaire setting is considered a classic setting for engagement rings. Tiffany & Co. broadly helped put diamonds on the map in 1886 by introducing the American marketplace to the solitaire diamond design, which is still the quintessential engagement ring style. Designed to maximize a diamond's sparkle, the trademark Tiffany Setting elevated the stone on six prongs (in contrast to the bezel setting, which was common at the time). In the late 1800s, Cartier sought to render the diamonds in their engagement rings and other rings as brilliantly as possible, and the house's Solitaire 1895 engagement ring is considered a classic engagement ring. Find antique and vintage engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024The difference between vintage, antique and estate engagement rings comes down to age and history. Rings that are over 100 years old are antiques, while those produced 20 to 99 years ago are vintage. Estate engagement rings are any rings that have had a previous owner. They can include antique, vintage and even contemporary rings produced during the last 20 years. Shop a large selection of engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- Is a 4 carat ring big?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not a 4-carat ring is big is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, 4-carat stones usually do have larger dimensions. Diamonds of this size are usually quite expensive due to their size. Shop a large selection of gemstone rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023On which hand people wear engagement rings in different countries varies. Countries where engagement rings typically go on the left hand include the US, the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, France, Sweden and Slovenia. Engagement rings commonly go on the right hand in Colombia, Germany, Greece, India, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain and Venezuela. Shop a wide variety of engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Hailey Bieber’s engagement ring features a six-carat oval-cut solitaire diamond. It features a simple band that keeps the focus on the stone. On 1stDibs, find a range of solitaire engagement rings from some of the top boutiques around the world.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023There is no rule for how many carats a diamond wedding ring should be. You're free to choose a ring with a carat weight that appeals to you and fits your budget. The average carat weight for diamond wedding rings is 1 to 1.9 carats. Shop an assortment of diamond wedding rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023The most popular carat size for engagement rings varies from country to country. In the US, the average size is around one carat. However, engagement rings tend to be smaller in other places. For example, the average is 0.6 carats in the UK and around 0.5 carats in western Europe. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024There is no rule for how many carats are best for a wedding ring. In fact, some wedding bands feature no gemstones at all and therefore have no carat weight ratings. Also, wedding bands set with multiple stones, like eternity bands, will have higher total carat weights because of the larger number of gems. When selecting wedding rings, focus on what appeals to you and fits your budget. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Whether 2-carat is a good size for an engagement ring is a matter of personal opinion. Due to its size, a 2-carat gemstone will likely stand out and get noticed. However, some people prefer smaller engagement rings, especially if they work with their hands. Carat weight is also not the most important signifier of a stone’s value. A three-carat gem can be less valuable than a one-carat stone, for example, if all of the other attributes are of lesser quality in the larger diamond. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024Elizabeth Taylor's famous diamond ring was 33.19 carats. Although many people believe the Krupp diamond ring was an engagement gift, Richard Burton actually bought the gorgeous Asscher-cut ring to mark their five-year anniversary. For their engagement, Burton presented Taylor with an 18.61-carat emerald and diamond pendant made by Bulgari. The pendant detached from its necklace and could double as a brooch. Explore a large selection of diamond rings on 1stDibs.
