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.
