Antique Engagement Rings by Era: Georgian to Retro
Every era has its own look. Here's a quick guide to the periods you'll find in our collection.
Georgian (1714–1837)
Georgian rings are the rarest antique engagement rings. Look for rose cut and old mine cut diamonds in closed-back, high-karat gold settings. We carry them when we find them.
Victorian (1837–1901)
Victorian rings favor warm yellow and rose gold. Flower clusters and mine cut diamonds are signature details. Many feel romantic and sentimental.
Art Nouveau (about 1890–1910)
Art Nouveau rings follow nature. Expect flowing lines, vines, and floral forms instead of hard geometry. True Art Nouveau engagement rings are hard to find.
Edwardian (1901–1915)
Edwardian rings are known for lace-like filigree, fine milgrain, and white metals. Platinum and white gold made this delicate openwork possible. Edwardian filigree is one of the largest parts of our collection.
Arts & Crafts (about 1880–1920)
Arts & Crafts rings celebrate handwork. Look for hearts, birds, and hand-pierced details that feel personal and one of a kind.
Art Deco (1920s–1930s)
Art Deco rings bring bold geometry and crisp symmetry. Think stepped shapes, white gold filigree, and accent sapphires. 1920s engagement rings are some of the most requested pieces we carry.
Retro (1935–1950)
Retro rings are bold and sculptural. Rose and yellow gold returned, often in larger, dimensional settings.
Mid-Century Vintage (1950s)
We also carry vintage engagement rings from the 1950s. Clean solitaires and illusion settings make them easy to wear every day.
Old Mine, Old European & Rose Cut Diamonds Explained
Most antique engagement rings hold diamonds cut by hand. They sparkle differently from modern diamonds, and many people prefer them.
Old Mine Cut
A cushion-shaped diamond with a high crown, small table, and open culet. Old mine cuts were common from the 1700s through the late 1800s. They give off soft, candlelit flashes of light.
Old European Cut
A round diamond and the ancestor of today's round brilliant. Old European cuts were common from the 1890s through the 1930s. Their broad facets throw big, bold flashes of color.
Rose Cut
A flat-bottomed diamond with a domed top of triangular facets. Rose cuts glow rather than sparkle, and often look larger than their carat weight.
Transitional Cut
The bridge between old European and modern round brilliant cuts, from about the 1930s and 1940s. It pairs vintage character with a bit more brilliance.
Colored Stones & Yellow Diamonds
Some antique rings feature sapphires, rubies, or fancy yellow diamonds. They are a beautiful choice for a ring that stands apart.
Antique vs. Vintage vs. Vintage-Inspired: What's the Difference?
Antique engagement rings are at least 100 years old. That includes Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and most Art Deco rings.
Vintage engagement rings are generally 20 to 99 years old. Retro and 1950s rings fall here.
Vintage-inspired rings are new rings designed with an antique look. Want the look with a center stone of your choice? Our custom jewelry design team can create one for you.
