Vintage style engagement rings are unique and stunning

When a girl has met her dream man and the couple are about to wed, they will look for engagement rings. They might like or dislike the ones on display in most jewelry stores and it is only when they cannot find what they are looking for from amongst the old cloned cushion cuts and monotonous pears with paves, they will look for a unique vintage style engagement ring. The ring must compliment the uniqueness of the love affair and the sense of style that the bride to be has to offer.  These vintage rings are copies of the antique, art deco, art nouveau, retro and contemporary, Edwardian jewelry that many girls who are about to be married are looking for. They are ravishing with deco diamonds and some old classical rings that were prevalent many decades ago. 

The diamonds are set in a vintage motif that honors traditions dating back generations from the 1910s to the 1940s. Jewelers have unique and exclusive collections of original vintage style engagement rings that were the rage in the early twentieth century. These rings are replicas of a beautiful older style.  These styles include the center stone style with names like old euro, round brilliant, princess square, oval cushion and center emerald.  All these refer to the kind of cut on the center stone, which is normally a diamond, emerald or sapphire. The carat of the center stone can range from less than half carat to more than 2 carats. The engagement ring can have a single large stone, called a solitaire or be surrounded by smaller stones or just have two or three stones in a line. The primary stone can be a ruby, aquamarine, peridot and a tourmaline.

The metal used for these vintage style engagement rings is 18K yellow gold. Nowadays, girls choose platinum, white gold or 14 K yellow or white gold, depending on what they can afford.  Prices are in the range of $500 to over $10000. Jewelers select their pieces for beauty and what they expect their customers will choose. These jewelers offer free shipping, a full 60 day money back return and a guarantee. Almost all jewelers provide a fully detailed item description of all materials and gem stones used to make the ring and many precious stones are individually appraised and certified. It is nice to get a ring that is individually unique and a replica of a beautiful older style.

Many jewelry designers like to work with settings that are flush to create a streamlined modern line. In bezel set engagement rings the diamond is sunk into the mounting so that it looks almost level with the surface of the ring and only the top showing. In a bezel setting, there is a collar of gold that surrounds the diamond and this offers a great protection to the stone and helps in retaining its brilliance for a long period.

Buying wholesale diamond engagement rings will be cheap

What makes a diamond sparkle? A good diamond can dazzle and look romantic according to its quality. The most important factor is the grading and evaluation of the cut of a diamond. A properly cut diamond is so well proportioned that no matter where light enters the stone e.g. from the top, sides or bottom, the light is directed out of the top of the stone. Diamond jewelry manufacturers try to get their stones as close to the source as possible - in the mines, and they are committed to supplying the customer with the best value for money diamond jewelry that they possibly can. Actually, it consists of an international network of diamond miners, cutters and jewelry craftsmen who are all committed to supplying the best diamond jewelry possible. Sometimes, it is also possible to buy wholesale diamond engagement rings from them since the loose stones are `cut’ by their own craftsmen in their workshops. 

After the diamonds are cut and set in rings, these are sent and bought by retailers and buyers of wholesale diamond engagement rings. The cut of the diamond and the metal used to set it in determines the price of the ring. Sometimes it is set along with other precious stones e.g. sapphire or emerald with the former being more popular as in Kate Middleton’s engagement ring given to her by Prince William. Not only are these diamonds made into rings but they are also used in necklaces, earrings etc. The diamonds can be in different colors e.g. white, which are the most popular, yellow, pink, and even black. Even the shape can be different – round, oval, heart shaped and shaped as a tear drop. The diamond in these engagement rings must be clear to allow light to pass through without any hindrance. To make wholesale diamond engagement rings, many normal precious stones and semi-precious stones e.g. peridot, garnet, tourmaline etc are used. These engagement rings can be high end designer ones, eternity rings, yellow gold rings with diamonds and other precious stones encrusted all around or even pearls attached to the crystal ring. 

Jewelry manufacturers cater to all kinds of clientele. They make fine jewelry that is collected and passed down from generation to generation and gains the honor of becoming a family heirloom. Of course, this kind of jewelry is very expensive. There are other pieces of jewelry that is more normal and within the buying power of most people. Sometimes, unusual pieces of jewelry are made with a unique style and shape, which cannot be found anywhere else. These are then sold as designer jewelry. Superb craftsmen are employed by jewelry manufacturers so that they are the leading jewelry makers in the market. Since this kind of jewelry is stunning, the wearer feels exquisite and proud owning a piece of such wonderful jewelry.
