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 Whats A Good Engagement Ring
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, Alexandrite can be good for engagement rings. One unique feature of the gemstone is that its color shifts from green in daylight to brown or purplish-red in low lighting, and many people find this characteristic appealing. In addition, Alexandrite has a Moh's hardness scale rating of 8.5. As a result, it's highly resistant to scratching and cleavage and suitable for daily wear. Explore a wide variety of Alexandrite gemstone engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Yes, moonstone can be good for engagement rings, depending on your preferences and taste. Many people love the soft luster of moonstone, and its color mixes and matches easily with apparel, accessories and other pieces of jewelry. Because moonstone isn't as hard as other popular gemstones like diamonds, sapphires and emeralds, it can scratch. As a result, it's best to take a moonstone engagement ring off when you're doing chores, exercising, playing sports or doing other activities that could damage it. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of moonstone engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Yes, topaz can be good for engagement rings. Rated an 8 on the Mohs scale, topaz is fairly resistant to scratches and cleavage, so it can hold up to daily wear. Plus, the gemstone comes in a wide variety of colors, giving you the freedom to choose a hue that reflects your individual tastes. Explore a range of topaz engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Yes, garnets can be good for engagement rings. Many people love the dark red color of the gemstone, and its 7.5 to 8.5 Mohs scale rating means the gemstone is fairly resistant to scratches. People born in January may also find engagement rings featuring garnets to be meaningful because the gemstone is the birthstone for the first month of the year. Shop a collection of garnet engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021No, opal is not good for engagement rings. Although opal is a beautiful stone, it is not the best choice for an engagement ring. Since they are relatively fragile compared to diamonds and sapphires, opals are not durable for daily wear.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021An amethyst ring is good for an engagement ring. Its Mohs hardness of 7 means it's good for everyday wear, but will show wear over the years. The choice in engagement ring stone is a personal choice.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, pearls are good for engagement rings. Pearls symbolize loyalty, integrity, generosity, and purity which makes them a fitting choice for an engagement. However, pearls have a hardness of 2.5-3 on the Mohs scale, meaning they are easily scratched and not ideal for everyday wear.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, rubies are good for engagement rings. The stone's rarity, beauty, and durability make it a prized gem. These red gemstones represent romance, wealth, and success -- perfect for celebrating an engagement.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Whether quartz is good for wedding rings is a matter of personal preference. Many people like quartz because it is economical and available in a wide variety of stunning colors. However, quartz isn't as hard as some other gemstones, such as emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds. As a result, wedding rings that feature quartz will likely not resist scratching as well as other options. Shop an assortment of quartz wedding rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, 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. Some people also like the way the appearance of the princess cut changes based on your viewing angle. From above, it looks like a square, while from the side, it has a pyramid shape. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of princess-cut gemstone engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, white sapphires are good for engagement rings. While white sapphires are largely cloudy and muted in appearance, they still display brilliance (even as the brilliance isn't as intense as the level of brilliance associated with diamonds). They're also one of the hardest gemstones. Importantly, white sapphires are better for couples on a budget, as the choice of this stone is more affordable when compared to a diamond of a similar size. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of sapphire engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Yes, yellow gold can be good for engagement rings. Many people love the warm, rich color of yellow gold, and the metal has been used to produce rings for centuries, giving it timeless appeal. Also, yellow gold tends to be durable enough to withstand the effects of daily wear. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of yellow gold engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, Tiffany makes good engagement rings. Tiffany & Co. uses fine-quality materials like platinum, 18-karat yellow gold, 18-karat white gold and 18-karat rose gold. All diamonds carry Gemological Institute of America (GIA) ratings, making it easy to assess the cut, clarity and color. The luxury jewelry maker also carefully crafts each ring to ensure that it features a secure setting and is free of defects. Find a diverse assortment of Tiffany & Co. engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Yes, prong settings can be good for engagement rings. When carefully crafted, prongs can help keep a gemstone secure. Plus, they allow nearly all of the gemstone to be visible, enhancing its sparkle and color. Many people also find prong settings to be easy to clean. Follow the maintenance and care instructions included with your engagement ring to help it stand the test of time. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While opals are more fragile than diamonds, adding a higher risk for a daily-wear ring, they can still be good engagement rings. Opals are thought of as precious and powerful and are said to symbolize fidelity so can be great and unique rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Black diamonds can make good engagement rings because they symbolize authority, power and passion. They also can be less expensive than clear diamonds.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, morganite is a great stone for an engagement ring. This stone is a 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale, which means it's quite durable and suitable for everyday wear.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, opal engagement rings can be a good idea. This stone represents faithfulness, confidence, and creativity -- making the stone a fitting choice for an engagement ring. Opals, however, are not ideal for everyday wear.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Whether 2-carat is a good size for an engagement ring is a matter of personal opinion. Due to its size, a 2-carat gemstone will likely stand out and get noticed. However, some people prefer smaller engagement rings, especially if they work with their hands. Carat weight is also not the most important signifier of a stone’s value. A three-carat gem can be less valuable than a one-carat stone, for example, if all of the other attributes are of lesser quality in the larger diamond. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, salt and pepper diamonds can be good for engagement rings. Many people find the unique coloration of the gemstones to be visually appealing and appreciate them as an alternative to classic white diamonds. Although the inclusions that give salt and pepper diamonds their speckled appearance slightly weaken them, the gemstones are still strong enough to hold up to the effects of daily wear.
