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 1940s Wedding Engagement Rings
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023No, wedding and engagement rings don't have to be the same metal. You're free to mix and match rings however you see fit. For a unified look, you can pair rings made of metal in a similar color like white gold and platinum. Or, create contrast with different colors, such as yellow gold and rose gold. Shop a variety of wedding rings and engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023No, the wedding band is not usually the engagement ring. A band is a ring that is a continuous metal circle. Typically, couples exchange wedding bands during their wedding ceremony. An engagement ring is a piece worn to celebrate a promise to marry, and brides typically continue to wear it above their wedding bands. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of wedding jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, you can use your engagement ring as your wedding ring. Although many people choose to wear a separate wedding band, you're free to have your new spouse slip your engagement ring onto your finger during your wedding ceremony. In this case, you would forego wearing a wedding band entirely. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Whether your wedding ring should match your engagement ring is up to personal preference. Many people choose engagement rings and wedding rings that complement one another in shape, color and materials. However, you're free to choose whatever rings appeal to you. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of wedding and engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Whether you wear your engagement ring on your wedding day is up to you. If you want to show off your engagement ring on the big day, you may want to wear it on the ring finger of your right hand so that it's easy for your spouse-to-be to slide your wedding band onto your left hand. After the ceremony, you could move your engagement ring to your left hand, either above or below your wedding ring. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of bridal jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2023Yes, it is okay to wear an engagement ring with a wedding ring. In fact, many brides wear both daily. Some prefer to slip on the wedding ring first to symbolically place it closest to their hearts, while others slide the wedding ring on second to help keep an engagement ring secure. Shop a collection of engagement rings and wedding rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, it is normal to buy a wedding band with an engagement ring. Many people purchase both pieces at the same time to ensure that their bridal jewelry matches. However, other people buy the two rings separately. For example, one partner may surprise the other with an engagement ring and leave the wedding band to be purchased later. Find a large selection of wedding bands and 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 ExpertNovember 21, 2023Whether engagement rings and wedding bands are worn together is a matter of personal preference. Many people do choose to wear their wedding band and their engagement ring on their ring fingers. They may put their wedding band on first to keep it close to the heart or slide it on second to help secure their engagement ring. Others may opt to wear only their wedding ring after they exchange vows or to show off their engagement rings alongside their wedding bands only on special occasions. Find a wide range of engagement rings and wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, you can give an engagement ring and a wedding band together if you wish. Some people like to purchase a set that includes matching engagement and wedding rings, and often, they will present both rings to their fiancées at once. Alternatively, you may want to allow your fiancée to choose their own wedding band or to purchase the band for them at a later date. Shop a diverse assortment of engagement rings and wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Yes, it is okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band. Some people prefer not to wear two separate rings and use the same piece both to symbolize their intent to marry and for their marriage vows. A wedding ring also doesn't have to be a band ring at all. A solitaire, halo or other type of engagement ring featuring a central stone and accent stones can easily serve as a wedding ring. You're free to choose any ring to function as both your engagement and wedding rings. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023More than one kind of engagement ring goes with a wide wedding band. In fact, there are several kinds that pair well with such a band! To balance the thickness of the band, consider an engagement ring with a matching wide band and a solitaire gemstone placed in a prong or tension setting. Bezel-set engagement rings can also coordinate nicely with wide bands, as the bezel helps to call attention to the central stone. Keep in mind that you can create any ring combination that appeals to you, so feel free to try on different styles and see what you like best. Shop a wide variety of engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023There are a few types of wedding bands that can make an engagement ring look bigger. A pav� band set with smaller diamonds or an eternity band can create the illusion of a bigger gemstone on an engagement ring. Slim, minimalist flat or dome wedding bands produce a similar effect by allowing the eye to focus on the engagement ring placed above or below it. Shop a variety of wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023When you put your engagement ring and wedding band together, the resulting jewelry is called a bridal set. Typically, a jewelry repair professional solders the two rings together, creating a permanent connection. However, some people keep the rings separate and simply wear bridal sets stacked. Explore a range of vintage engagement rings and wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023How you wear a wedding band with a pear-shaped engagement ring is up to you. However, it's most common to put the wedding band on first and then wear the engagement ring on top. Not only does this follow the tradition of wearing your wedding ring closest to your heart, but it also serves as a nice balance to the shape of the engagement ring, which is wider and fuller at the bottom. Curved and contoured wedding bands are especially good companions for pear-shaped engagement rings because they complement the curves of the gemstone. Find a large collection of wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023There is no single correct way to wear your wedding band and engagement ring. According to tradition, the wedding band goes on first so that it is closer to your heart. However, many people choose to wear their wedding bands on top to help hold their engagement rings securely in place. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of wedding bands and engagement rings.
