How Much is a Tanzanite In Platinum?
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.

- What is a trillion tanzanite?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A trillion tanzanite is a violet-blue gemstone that is considered the highest quality of tanzanite available.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Tanzanite is much more rare than diamonds. Because diamond prices are more or less controlled, diamonds generally cost more, even though they're easier to find and mine than tanzanite.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021The color of tanzanite that is most expensive is strong blue or intense purple-blue. Other colors are less rare and so not as valuable. Find a range of antique and vintage tanzanite jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Tanzanite comes in a variety of sizes and cuts. Most tanzanite used in jewelry will not have inclusions visible to the human eye. The cut will also determine how the color of the gem displays, which can be different depending on the viewing direction. Carat weight will also play a role in the tanzanite’s quality. Browse a selection of tanzanite jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Because tanzanite prices are controlled by supply and demand in a way that diamond prices are not, the price is more linked to rarity. As a result 1 carat of the finest grade tanzanite is worth $600 to $700, but lower quality stones can be less expensive.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The value of tanzanite per carat changes regularly. However, the value of A-grade tanzanite per carat in 2021 is about $200 for around 1.99 carats, $250 for around 2.99 carats, $275 for around 9.99 carats and $300 or more for anything above 10 carats.

- What is Edwardian platinum?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Edwardian jewelry is the last era of jewelry to be defined by a British monarch’s rule. For many of the Edwardian designs, platinum was the material of choice. In 1903, the invention of the acetylene torch meant that platinum’s dense, malleable form could be heated and fashioned into the desired jewelry designs. Shop a selection of Edwardian jewelry from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- How much is a platinum ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021On average, a platinum band would typically cost around $1,000. However, if there are any gemstones, the cost would likely be much higher.
- Does Cartier use platinum?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Cartier uses platinum in the production of their jewelry and other items. In fact, Alfred Cartier and his three sons are credited with mastering this metal and creating a process that made it possible for jewelers to use this metal efficiently. Find vintage and contemporary Cartier jewelry from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023If it seems like most engagement rings are platinum, you’ve likely been shopping at retailers and boutiques that primarily specialize in the sale of platinum jewelry. It’s true that platinum is among the most popular metals for engagement rings. Cartier pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry in the late 1800s, identifying the strong, lustrous metal as ideal for bringing out the true qualities of diamonds. However, engagement rings are in fact created with a range of many other materials, such as yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and titanium. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023No, most engagement rings aren't platinum. Some people do prefer platinum due to its appearance and its resistance to scratching and fading. However, makers offer engagement rings in a wide range of precious metals, including white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, titanium and sterling silver. Shop a large selection of engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- Is platinum good for earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, platinum can be good for earrings. Many people love the cool color and sleek appearance of platinum, and the metal can be beautiful on its own or used as a setting for gemstones. Platinum is unlikely to tarnish, fade or require refinishing as it ages, and it is fairly resistant to scratches as well. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of platinum earrings.
- Is Platinum better than gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While preferences differ, platinum is generally considered to be better than gold. Platinum is a naturally occurring white metal that is rarer, heavier, and harder than gold. Due to its hardness, platinum is able to be used in a much purer form than gold, which makes the metal more expensive.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Because platinum is denser than other metals, it is often more expensive to purchase platinum watches than gold. One of the most expensive watches sold was a Platinum Rolex worth $277,000.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Maybe. Rolex may discontinue the platinum Daytona, but they haven’t made any official announcements yet. The platinum Daytona, or Platona was first released in 2013. Shop a collection of Rolex Daytona watches from top sellers on 1stDibs.
