Vintage engagement rings

Vintage Style Engagement Rings

An increasing trend over the past few years has been vintage style jewellery. There are two main types of vintage engagement rings.
(i) actual antique engagement rings from Art Deco; Edwardian; Victorian periods
(ii) Modern rings with a vintage replicated theme - usually in the form of a halo

Genuine antique rings can be expensive and difficult to find but are authentic. Most are made in platinum with transitional cut diamonds with fantastic hand engraved detail.

Most vintage style diamond rings are simply halo style rings. These are solitaire rings with a halo of smaller diamonds surrounding the diamond and often diamonds on the band.

The modern rings usually do not have the same attention to detail as the antique rings. These are usually hand engraved with transitional cut diamonds or hand cut diamonds.

Given the current economic climate, many young couples looking for engagement rings have had to review their budget when searching for a diamond ring.
The good news is that many Irish jewellers are reacting to this demand by offering great prices on beautiful designs (many more jewellers are unable to react to the environment - good look to them!!)

For those jewellers who react by offering great value engagement rings, we say - well done.
Well done for offering an affordable alternative for couples who may have had a budget of €5k back in the Celtic Tiger days - their new budget may be €2k - €3k which is a good budget. Don't feel pressure into spending more on an engagement ring than you have.

A great idea would be to find an engagement ring in your budget and in a few years you can always add more diamonds to the ring or get it re-mounted.
If the ring you can only afford now is small, don't worry, it can always grow when the budget allows.
