20 One-Of-Kind Vintage Style Engagement Rings
What are Vintage Style Engagement Rings?
A vintage-style engagement ring is a modern ring that draws inspiration from the vintage era style, such as Victorian or Edwardian Eras. It’s easy to confuse vintage style rings with vintage or antique rings. Vintage Rings are pieces with settings, diamonds, and elements from a past era dating more than 100 years old; it is not just a style. So, if you’re looking for a vintage style engagement ring, remember that most ring elements will be relatively new with just the style crafted from a vintage era. Gemvy offers a stunning collection of vintage style engagement rings; you’re bound to find the perfect modern ring with an old-world charm.
