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 Amethyst Intaglio Ring
- What is an intaglio ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022An intaglio ring has a gem with a recessed image on it. Intaglio rings were used in ancient Rome as signet rings, where one could use hot wax to transfer their specific ring’s impression to another surface. Shop a collection of expertly vetted jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a Roman intaglio ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Roman intaglio ring is a signet ring with an image carved into stone. Today the ring is worn as an accessory. In ancient Rome, intaglio rings were worn by prominent businessmen and politicians and even used as impressions on signatures of hot wax. Browse a wide range of Roman intaglio rings from reputable sellers on 1stDibs.
- Are amethyst rings durable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not amethyst rings are durable is largely a matter of how you define the term. Amethysts have a hardness rating of 7, making them resistant to scratching. However, you can still damage an amethyst ring if you wear it while performing household chores or engaging in intense physical activity. Shop a selection of amethyst gemstone rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021An amethyst ring is good for an engagement ring. Its Mohs hardness of 7 means it's good for everyday wear, but will show wear over the years. The choice in engagement ring stone is a personal choice.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021How much an amethyst stone ring is worth depends on the origin, cut, color, clarity, shine, shape and certificate it carries. In general, the price of an amethyst gemstone can range from $2.74 per carat to $16.44 per carat and much more depending on the quality combination specified. Find a collection of antique and vintage amethyst rings on 1stDibs.
