10 Reasons to Buy a Vintage-Style Engagement Ring
Introduction
It’s not difficult to see the fascination with a bygone era. Old paintings, cars, and books passed through generations have a certain magic. Jewellery and particularly vintage engagement rings, are no exception. This little piece of jewellery perfectly captures the era's romance along with beauty and elegance. Vintage jewellery, however, is hard to come by and may even cost an arm and a leg. Today, there are several vintage-style engagement rings that embody the true romance and refined elegance of the bygone era but are made using modern techniques which allow for more delicate and detailed work.
You might wonder what the difference between a vintage and vintage style engagement ring is. A vintage engagement ring, or an antique ring, is at least 50 years old and made in either the Victorian, Edwardian or Art-Deco eras. You can either get them passed down as family heirlooms or find them in second-hand stores or even some speciality jewellery boutiques. A vintage-style ring is a modern ring that takes the elements and designs of vintage rings, like the use of milgrain or filigree, or gemstones. These can be customised to your preference and taste. These rings are made using modern techniques which have been perfected over time.
If you’re fascinated by the glamour of vintage eras, a vintage-style engagement ring would be perfect for you.
Here are 10 reasons to buy a vintage-style engagement ring that might compel you to go on this incredible journey.
1. Unique
A common phrase is used to describe things of the past “They don’t make them the way they used to”. However, with vintage-style jewellery, you can get the incredibly unique designs of the bygone era. Vintage-style engagement rings stand apart from the crowd; you won’t find the intricacy of vintage eras in contemporary styles. This Detailed Cathedral Vintage Style Setting Wist by Gemvy is a beautiful example of the one-of-a-kind quality of vintage engagement rings. It showcases an intricate floral-inspired double-prong assembly with a hidden diamond—the milgrain detailing adds to its elaborate vintage style.
2. Irresistible design
Vintage designs have several unique elements, like milgrain and filigree. These intricate techniques create spectacular images, which is rare in contemporary engagement rings. These elements or techniques can create nature-inspired designs that were particularly popular in the vintage eras. The elaborate and elegant designs are irresistible and are becoming increasingly popular. Gemvy’s Art Deco Filigree 3-Stone Round Halo Engagement Ring is a perfect example of why vintage-style engagement rings are sought after.
3. Not Trendy
You might be seeing some celebrities rocking vintage or vintage-style engagement rings; however, this trend is not going away, nor has it ever. Vintage style jewellery is not trendy; it can’t go out of style as it is simply unique and one-of-a-kind. The stories and intricate craftsmanship behind vintage-style jewellery will never go out of fashion. Just take a look at this stunning design by Gemvy: Designer Vintage Style Pavé 3-Stone Diamond Ring; indeed, you can see how this ring will never go out of style and be cherished for years to come.
4. Heirlooms
Although crafted in modern times, a vintage-style ring carries the romance of the bygone eras, making it the perfect heirloom to pass on for generations.

The intricate design echoing the glamour of the Art Deco era will forever remain a favourite one-of-a-kind style to be passed through the generations.
5. Personal Style
Your personality dictates your engagement ring. A modern classic solitaire, as elegant as it is, lacks individual character. On the other hand, Vintage-style engagement rings have some intricate and unique designs that truly stand apart from the crowd and can provide you with the individuality you seek. Elaborate 4-Prong Micro-Pavé Heirloom 2.6MM Engagement Ring speaks more of individuality than the more contemporary designs.

7. Customisations
If you go for vintage engagement rings, you might not find a vast collection, and you cannot make customisations that are truly personal to you. At times even sizing the ring can be a challenge. With vintage-style engagement rings, you can customise the ring to your preference. You can add personal details like engravings, choose the type of diamond or stone you like and even the metal.

Vintage engagement rings, because of their age, have a higher value, especially if in their original condition. In comparison, vintage-style engagement rings can be pretty cost-effective as you are allowed customisations that fit your budget. This stunning Edwardian Style Milgrain Solitaire Custom Engagement 2.9MM Ring by Gemvy enables you to choose the type of center stone you prefer and the metal type according to your budget.
