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.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Oval engagement rings are considered the most popular diamond shape in 2020. Round diamonds are a close second, followed by cushion cuts.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Generally, oval engagement rings are called oval-cut engagement rings. However, some rings may have additional modifiers depending on their designs. For example, an engagement ring with a single oval-cut gemstone is a solitaire, while one that features a center oval stone surrounded by a ring of smaller accent stones is a halo ring. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of oval-cut engagement rings.
- Are oval engagement rings a fad?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023No, oval engagement rings are not a fad. The term fad suggests that something suddenly gained popularity and will remain stylish for only a short period of time. Oval engagement rings don't fit this definition. The modern-day oval can be traced back to 1957 and has been used in engagement rings ever since. Even 14th-century artisans experimented with cutting diamonds into oval shapes. Based on this history, most experts agree that the oval engagement ring is more of a timeless classic than a passing fad. Shop a diverse assortment of oval engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023To pair an oval engagement ring with a wedding band, first consider the shape. Both domed and flat bands can complement the shape of an oval-cut gemstone. You may also want to consider a contoured band that will hug the curves of the gem. Next, decide what type of metal will coordinate with the engagement ring. An easy choice is to have the two rings crafted out of the same metal, such as 18-karat yellow gold or platinum. Explore a large selection of wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Yes, prong settings can be good for engagement rings. When carefully crafted, prongs can help keep a gemstone secure. Plus, they allow nearly all of the gemstone to be visible, enhancing its sparkle and color. Many people also find prong settings to be easy to clean. Follow the maintenance and care instructions included with your engagement ring to help it stand the test of time. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of engagement rings.
