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 Ring Cut Types
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    While there are many, many types of known diamond cuts, we can say definitively that the cuts fall into three main categories. The three categories of gemstone cuts are brilliant, step and mixed. Popular types of gemstone cuts include round brilliant, cushion cut, baguette cut and princess cut. When shopping for a piece of jewelry, consider whether you want stones to sparkle and gleam or show off their color with clarity. Then, find the cut on the list that enhances the desired feature.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    There are many different types of cutting boards and the one that is best suited for you is a matter of preference. The general consensus amongst chefs, however, is that grain wood boards are best for preserving your expensive knives.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    There is no single best type of ring for a man. Men can wear band rings, gemstone rings, signet rings and other styles, provided the pieces fit properly. On 1stDibs, find a selection of rings from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    Since 24k gold is too soft, jewelry made with this kind of gold tends to bend easily. It is preferable to use 10k, 14k or 18k gold for rings. Find a collection of vintage and antique gold rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    There is no single type of metal that is best for engagement rings, as each metal has its advantages. Gold, whether yellow or white, is a timeless option. An 18-karat or 14-karat gold alloy will show off the beauty of the material and hold up fairly well to the effects of daily wear. Platinum is another popular option due to its strength, appealing cool color and resistance to tarnishing. People who work with their hands may prefer even harder metals like titanium or tungsten. Consider your personal preferences, job and lifestyle when choosing metals for engagement rings. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of engagement rings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    A princess cut diamond ring is a genre of the diamond cuts often used in engagement rings. Possessing the technical name square modified brilliant, these rings are peculiarly crafted into a square or a rectangle shape, giving it an exquisite look of an inverted pyramid with four beveled sides. Shop a range of antique and vintage princess cut diamond rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    There is no single most elegant cut of a diamond for a ring. Each cut has its own characteristics that can exude elegance, so you're free to choose the cut that appeals most to you. If you want your ring to sparkle, consider brilliant cuts like the round, princess, marquise, oval and pear. To put the spotlight on color and clarity, opt for stepped cuts like the emerald, Carrďż˝ and Asscher. Explore a wide range of diamond rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Beyoncé’s engagement ring is an emerald-cut diamond. Lorraine Schwartz designed the ring, which features a 24-carat stone placed in a split shank setting. On 1stDibs, shop a range of emerald-cut diamond rings from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    There is no single best diamond cut for a ring. Any type of cut can be visually appealing, so which one you choose is a matter of personal preference. Round-cut rings are popular choices because they showcase the sparkle of diamonds and have a timeless shape. Other cuts that maximize sparkle include the princess, oval, pear and marquise cuts. Some things to look out for when shopping for gemstones are extinctions, which are dark spots on the stone, and windows, which are see-through areas created during the cutting process. These spots reduce the brilliance of a gemstone. Find a large selection of diamond rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021

    Rose-cut diamonds are uncommon in modern jewelry and are often associated with antique styles like Victorian or Georgian.

    The term princess-cut engagement ring means an engagement ring with a central diamond that features a certain shape and facet arrangement. Specifically, a princess-cut gemstone has a square shape and a brilliant cut that gives it tremendous sparkle. With the most common facet pattern, a princess-cut gemstone has a total of 57 facets.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, emerald cut engagement rings are popular for those hoping to be betrothed. The emerald cut comprises 58 facets and truncated corners on a rectangular step-cut stone. The flat pavilion of an emerald-cut diamond can magnify the stone's imperfections, so the gem's clarity is key. Initially a popular cut for emeralds only, it is now used on other precious stones, but the name has come to define the style. The emerald cut became popular during the Art Deco period. Find emerald cut engagement rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, princess-cut engagement rings can be good, depending on preferences and taste. Due to their brilliant cut, the rings show off the sparkle of a gemstone, and they're often economically priced because the cutting process creates less waste than what's expected with a round cut.
