Shop for Antique, New and Vintage Eternity Bands on 1stDibs

Antique, new and vintage eternity bands are ideal for a wedding or for marking a milestone anniversary, but these accessories are also a popular way to commemorate the birth of a child or some other significant life event, such as a 30th birthday or college graduation. 

Slender in profile and ideal for wearing in mixed-not-matched multiples, stacking rings continue to be a big trend among jewelry collectors. As such, one or a suite of diamond eternity bands, worn as a set or paired with other rings, have become a new jewelry wardrobe staple.

Eternity rings are meant to feel like a second skin, alternately providing the foundation of your jewelry look on any given day or the perfect finishing touch. Think slim — not more than 1 to 1.5 millimeters in width — so that you can fit as many rings on your finger as you like.

Start with something simple like a delicate pavé diamond band and then explore wider styles with bigger, bolder diamonds. Feel free to mix metals, settings and stone shapes for a stack that pops with personality. There are lots of ways to reimagine the basic eternity band if you want something other than the usual round-diamond affair. You could opt for different diamond shapes — all emerald or Asscher cuts, say, or baguettes, the height of glamour and sophistication. Or you could mix shapes, rounds and baguettes, for example, in a dot-dash pattern.

Find antique, new and vintage eternity bands on 1stDibs.

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 ringsvintage 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.
