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 ExpertApril 5, 2022Traditionally, a Claddagh ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand.

Find a selection of Claddagh rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022During the 18th and 19th centuries, mourning rings were worn on the pinky finger.

You'll find a variety of mourning rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Which finger you should wear a dragon ring on is largely a matter of personal preference. It also depends on the size of the ring.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024The fourth finger, or ring finger, is typically the finger used for engagement rings. However, which hand people typically wear engagement rings on varies. The left hand is the most common option in the U.S., Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, France, Ireland, Mexico, the UK, Norway, Poland, Russia, Canada, Australia and other countries. In Italy, Croatia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain and India, engagement rings usually go on the right hand. Explore a large collection of engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023What finger you wear a Cartier Love ring on is largely a matter of personal preference. However, many people wear it on the ring fingers of their right hands. Following the immense success of the Love bracelet, which was designed by Italian jeweler Aldo Cipullo in 1969, Cartier went on to produce earrings, necklaces and rings. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Cartier Love rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell if a ring is an antique, see if you can locate a maker's marking on the inside of the band. If you can, research the artisan, company or workshop using trusted online resources. By learning when they were active and reviewing image galleries of their work, you can often estimate approximately when a particular ring was produced. If your ring is 100 years old or older, it is an antique. In the event that you can't find a maker's mark or still have lingering questions about your ring's age, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a wide variety of antique rings on 1stDibs.
- 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.
- Is my antique ring real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To find out if your antique ring is real, you can first try researching the maker. Look for a hallmark inside the ring and then use trusted online resources to determine who produced it. From there, you can find out if the jewelry maker typically produced jewelry out of precious metals and genuine gemstones or specialized in costume jewelry crafted from less costly materials. Another option is to have an experienced jeweler or certified appraiser inspect your ring for you. Explore a wide variety of antique rings on 1stDibs.
- 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024To tell how old an antique ring is, you have two main options. First, you can conduct online research using trusted sources. If you know the maker of the ring or the ring has a maker's mark that you can use to identify who produced it, learning more about the designer, artisan or company and their styles can help with the dating process. When the maker is unknown, you can familiarize yourself with the characteristics of various antique jewelry styles, such as Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian, to try and identify the period in which your ring was likely produced. The second option is to have a certified appraiser, experienced antique dealer or knowledgeable jeweler date your ring for you. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of antique rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, antique engagement rings do tend to be popular.
