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 Antique Band Ring
- What is a double band ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A double band ring is set in such a way that it has two bands instead of one. They come in different styles and can be matched with different stones. They also come in rose gold, white gold or yellow gold. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage double band rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Whether a ring wrap can be a wedding band depends largely on its style. Generally, ring wraps work best when placed beside another ring due to their shape and the placement of their stones. As a result, most may look incomplete when worn alone. However, some round double-band ring wraps may be suitable for use as standalone wedding rings. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of wedding bands.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023The meaning of a triple band ring is largely a matter of individual interpretation. Also called Russian wedding rings, interlocking triple bands often symbolize the Holy Trinity. Other people associate triple band rings with a person’s past, present and future. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of band rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A double band engagement ring is a ring with a setting that has two bands instead of one. A double band engagement ring gives off the look of multiple rings stacked. Shop a selection of double band 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, 2023What it's called when a ring has diamonds on the band depends on the design of the piece. Rings that have diamonds set into grooves that run along them are channel-set rings, while ones that feature small diamonds placed side by side are pavé bands. A band that has a single line of diamonds that travels all the way around is an eternity ring or band. Explore a wide range of diamond rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023What it is called when an engagement ring has diamonds on the band depends on the style of the setting. Accent stones are smaller diamonds that flank a central stone, while halos are diamonds that encircle the main stone. A ring with diamonds set in a crease along the sides of the band has a channel setting. Pavé rings feature many small diamonds placed close together along the band. Find a wide range of diamond engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- Do wide band rings fit tighter?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Yes, wide band rings seem to fit tighter. The sensation of a closer fit is because the thicker band restricts finger movement. As a result, a wider ring will often seem to fit more tightly even if it is identical in size to a smaller ring. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of band rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What band goes best with an emerald cut ring is largely a matter of personal preference. Bands that hold brilliant-cut accent stones can add sparkle to a ring. An example is the eternity band, which shows off gemstones all the way around the band. On 1stDibs, find a selection of emerald cut rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Band width affects ring size by changing how a piece feels. Generally, the wider a band is, the tighter it will feel. If you are purchasing a thick band, you may want to try on the next biggest size and compare the feel. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of rings from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Russian wedding rings have three wedding bands due to religious traditions. In the Russian Orthodox Church, three rings represent the Holy Trinity. In more recent years, the triple ring has also taken on a secular meaning with many people now associating the bands with the past, present and future of a married couple. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of wedding bands.
- What were antique rings made of?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Antique rings were made of a variety of materials. You can find pieces produced out of many of the same precious metals used today, such as yellow gold, white gold, sterling silver and platinum. In addition, some antique rings feature a material called pinchbeck, which is a combination of copper and zinc. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of antique rings.
- Do antique rings have hallmarks?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Yes, some antique rings have hallmarks. However, some do not. Before 1950, jewelry makers didn't add hallmarks to their pieces, but some did to indicate who produced the jewelry and/or tell the buyer what type of metals they contained. Shop a large collection of antique rings 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 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 2, 2023You can buy antique rings online from a number of trusted platforms, including 1stDibs.
