There are as many good reasons to consider purchasing an antique ring as there are reasons to choose any ring.
While modern day jewelers struggle to offer customers something unique and contemporary, many men appreciate the style and inherent charm of an antique.
Another perfectly acceptable reason for purchasing antique ring is they often offer buyers a better quality ring at a lower price than purchasing a new ring.

What is the difference between an antique ring and an estate ring?

"Antique" normally refer to rings that are over 50 years old. Rings less than 50 years old but purchased used are considered "Estate" rings.

What are the styles of different eras?

The Victorian Era (1835-1900) - Victorian era antique rings usually featured diamonds or pearls set in yellow or rose gold. The ring styles varied from simple elegance to intricate detail. Many settings featured rows of diamonds that were cut with an extra facet in the bottom of the stone. This was known as a mine cut.

The Edwardian Era (1900-1920) - With the invention of the oxyacetylene torch, platinum became the preferred metal for the period.  Wedding bands were often crafted with lacy and pierced shapes, milgraining, filigree detail, and scrollwork. Rose-cut diamonds and sapphires were the preferred stones.
The Art Deco Era (1920-1930) - Art Deco rings feature a streamlined geometric look. They also reflect Egyptian, Asian, and Native American cultures. These rings were often made of platinum and featured colorful, contrasting gemstones as well as diamonds. Art Deco Men's Jewelry Rings are extremely popular today.

Lissylops asked:


We are going engagement ring hunting tomorrow in London tomorrow, I'm VERY excited!

I have my heart set on something antique/vintage style. Everyone I've spoken to seems to be really concerned with diamonds - how big etc. I do like diamonds but I prefer them as an accent stone.

Do many people have sapphire, emerald, ruby or other gemstone engagement rings?

When you go to try on rings, do they tell you your official size?

Gretchen K asked:


Sorry if that's a dumb question. I have never gone to a "real" jewelry store to try on rings. I roughly know my size, but may be off by a half size or so. My ring now is an antique that happens to fit.

So if we go to try on rings, will they automatically check and tell me my size, or do I have to ask? Not to be a dolt but they don't charge for that, do they? I am totally jewelry clueless. :) Thanks!

Wedding Ring?

Doz asked:


My husband said he was going to get me a nice"rock" for our wedding anniversary. My wedding ring is about a 0.30 carat round diamond with 2 baquette rubies on each side of the diamond setting. If when you were married, you couldnt afford the size of diamond almost every woman would love to own, and down the road your husband would like to get you something nice, would you:

A) Replace the smaller diamond you currently have and re-set your wedding band with a larger diamond or,

B) Get a second ring all together? If so, would you wear it on the left hand/finger as your first or on the right hand?

Now keep in mind, my ring is an antique, the band is raised in several areas and the setting is old. The diamond may be rather old. If it was a ring from the store (plain band, etc.) but smaller diamond, would you replace the first diamond?

fentonfc asked:


I am going to propose to my girlfriend next weekend on a long weekend in Barcelona.
From getting her friends to question her she seems to want an antique or new diamond ring and would like it to be from the town where she is proposed to (i.e. Barcelona).
Does anyone have any idea of where we can shop? I'm thinking of doing it over breakfast and then going out together to purchase it.
HELP!!!!

~Misty.babydoll~ asked:


My Dad gave me a ring that he found years ago in Hawaii,It's goregus!It looks hand crafted or antique,and it has 3 diamons and a large emerald set in a very unique way.It has 14k and 4k stamped into the gold,I know what 14k is it's 14 karat gold,does the 4k mean the karats of the emerald?I am wanting to find out if it's real,do you think a jewelry shop would tell me for free if it's real or not?I know I have to pay for an appraisal, but I want to see what I can find out on my own first.The ring looks really valuable!it doesn't have cz or anything else stamped into it either.Thanks!!
My cubic zirconia costume ring has the cz stamped into it and 14k.
