Vintage Solitaire Engagement Rings
If you are set on a vintage engagement ring, you may want to avoid a second-hand ring for reassurance of quality. Our brand-new vintage solitaire engagement rings can be set with a single diamond, emerald, sapphire or a range of other precious stones allowing you the freedom to create a stunning look, tailored to your bride.
To give a traditional diamond solitaire engagement ring with a vintage twist, you could select from the popular cuts and shapes of the past. An emerald-cut diamond is one of the most effective ways to add a vintage touch. A beautiful, exclusive shape which is now rarely seen in solitaire ring designs, DiamondsByMe have vintage solitaire rings which feature an emerald-cut gemstone alone or with a delicate, halo effect.
Vintage royalty
One of the most well-known engagement rings ever made, is that of the late Lady Diana. Back when she was betrothed to Prince Charles, this particular ring wasn’t that extraordinary. She chose it from an existing collection of the royal jeweler. Perhaps this was one of the things that contributed to her being called ‘the people’s princess’.
However, since then the Lady Diana ring has reached an iconic status. And when Prince William got engaged to Catherine, he proposed with his beloved mother’s ring. Making a whole new generation of women wish this specific Halo ring for themselves.
A Classic Ring for a classic bride-to-be
Older styles of rings include thick-set bands, complete with pavé diamonds and colorful gemstones, reminiscent of an antique style as well as thin and delicately shaped bands with simple yet impressive etching. Classic engagement rings are usually given to celebrate memories made, and those that will come. They are defined by their luxurious style and intricate designs. And of course, by their color combination. A sapphire engagement ring for instance, matches beautifully when the sapphire is surrounded by sparkling diamonds, and set in white gold or platinum.
