How Much are Italian Style Engagement Rings?
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 ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Edwardian-style engagement rings are contemporary engagement rings that reflect the visual traits common during the Edwardian era. Lasting from 1901 through 1910, the era coincided with the reign of King Edward VII in the United Kingdom. Also overlapping with the Belle Époque, which dated from the late 19th century to World War I, the era served as a bridge to the modern era. Nature was a major theme in jewelry, thanks to the influence of the Art Nouveau movement and the tastes of Queen Alexandra, King Edward’s wife. In fact, flowing and floral garland motifs were so popular that the Edwardian period is sometimes called the "garland era." The invention of the oxyacetylene torch enabled jewelers to use platinum for ring designs and to create intricate lacy filigree and exquisite milgrain work. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Edwardian-style engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023A vintage-style engagement ring is a piece of bridal jewelry designed in the style of rings produced in the past. Many vintage-style engagement rings borrow elements from Victorian, Art Deco or Edwardian jewelry. Although the rings may closely resemble authentic antique or vintage rings, they are actually contemporary pieces produced in recent years. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023There are many different styles of engagement rings. One of the most well-known is the solitaire, which showcases a single large gemstone. Halo rings feature a central stone surrounded by a ring of smaller accent stones, while trilogy rings have one large gemstone flanked by two smaller ones. An engagement ring that has a large central stone surrounded by smaller diamonds that travel most or all the way around its band is a diamond band ring. Settings on diamond band rings can be scalloped, channeled or pavé. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Although jewelry trends change from season to season, solitaire engagement rings typically remain in style based on their widespread popularity. The solitaire ring has a timeless look, and the wide variety of gemstone cuts available means that there are many options to choose from. You can consider solitaire engagement rings featuring diamonds as well as colored gemstones like sapphires, rubies, amethysts and topazes. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of solitaire engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023No, halo engagement rings are not going out of style. The design has been favored by several celebrity fianc�es, including Amy Adams and Natalie Portman. It gets its name from the style's halo-like band of small pav� diamonds surrounding the ring's center stone. The halo style emerged on the engagement scene in the minimalist 1990s, initially with a round stone at its center but soon encompassing all diamond shapes, including emerald cuts and ovals. While current styles may seem to cycle in and out more quickly than those of days gone by, couples don't get engaged the moment a trend emerges (it's likely that something identified as a "trend" may refer to a style that has been around for years). In any event, experts suggest that you shouldn't get bogged down in exploring a trend when it comes to this meaningful life moment! Focus instead on the accessory that best expresses your special love story. Find halo engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023No, yellow gold engagement rings are not out of style. In fact, white gold and yellow gold are still among the most popular metals for engagement rings and wedding rings. It's important to note that while current trends with respect to engagement rings may seem to ebb and flow more quickly than those of days gone by, couples don't get engaged the moment a trend emerges. Whatever may be trending now with respect to engagement rings may be a style or cut that has been popular for years. Find antique and vintage wedding rings on 1stDibs.1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Whether yellow gold engagement rings are out of style depends largely on who you ask. To many individuals, yellow gold is a timeless precious metal that remains appealing despite changing trends. That's part of the reason why brides in the British royal family, from Meghan Markle to Kate Middleton to Princess Diana, all received yellow gold engagement rings. Find a diverse assortment of yellow gold engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023It could be said that yellow gold engagement rings aren't coming back in style because people never stop wearing them. Yellow gold has been a popular choice of metal for both engagement and wedding jewelry for centuries. Not only is yellow gold visually appealing, but as an alloy that combines pure gold with base metals, it resists scratching and tarnishing, allowing rings to stand the test of time. Shop a wide range of yellow gold engagement rings on 1stDibs.
