3 Vintage Wedding Bands to Die For

Vintage wedding rings will appeal to those who admire tradition and who love the aesthetic look of previous generations. Vintage usually refers to fashion choices in clothing or accessories; i.e. the generation before the current one, whereas the time period before the 1920s is now considered antique. In terms of rings, some ring designers will create rings to look traditional or perhaps even from the 20th century or before, for an affordable price.

Why the popularity of vintage rings? Celebrities adore vintage rings and they have become popular among the wealthy, but also among college students, who admire the look of the past, as well as the sustainability of reusing rings—particularly gold or silver rings which are made of precious metal.

If you’re shopping around for something quaint and wonderful, here are three vintage ring styles to die for:

1. Suzette Style

This ring is an eternity wedding ring, showcasing 30 brilliant cut diamonds and arranged in gold. The design is floral and with petals to give it a wonderful and natural look. This style can be made in platinum or gold or a combination. This ring is partly inspired by fashions of the old Georgian and Art Nouveau era.

2. Princess Crisscross Style

This ring style is princess cut diamond shape, with a crisscross design for the ring. The bezel design lends a shape and focal point to the ring, while the rows of diamonds under and over lend it a 3D look that will send her heart aflutter. A great look if you like silver and larger diamonds showcased in the middle. This shape looks sophisticated, chic and grandly romantic. You can see similarities between the ring and the Victorian or even Edwardian eras of the past.

3. Monella Style

This style focuses on a small parade of diamonds encrusted between two beaded rows. The diamonds are placed between milgrained edges and set in mini-prongs. The design also lends itself to unique materials and color, such as rose gold or traditional yellow or white.

A spokesperson for Timeless Wedding Bands says, “Jewelers try to create unique styles that tribute the past and always at the same high quality as an antique or vintage ring from 100 years ago. Our company, for example, uses the latest technology in CAD designs and 3D printing to recreate the patterns and unique shape of rings that simply aren’t made anymore. Creating vintage art in the form of rings is something that requires both technology know-how and skills in crafting jewelry traditionally.”

It can be exciting to find a ring that looks like it’s right out of history, whether an original or a reproduction. It is a chivalrous and romantic way to start your new life together.
