About vintage engagement rings
What defines it
A vintage engagement ring was cut and set by hand, decades before anyone thought of it as an investment. Ours come from European estates, are checked by our gemologist and are the only one of their kind.
What to look for
Check the hallmark and the wear together: an honest antique ring shows soft, even wear on the high points, original solder lines and a shank that has not been thinned. Ask to see the culet of any old-cut stone, the back of the setting and the gallery, all of which we will show you live on video before you buy.
What it costs
Most antique and vintage engagement rings we sell sit between roughly $1,500 and $12,000, with signed pieces and larger old-cut centers running higher.
Indicative only. Every curated vintage, antique and estate piece is one of a kind and priced on its own merits, with free insured US shipping.
