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.
