CAPTURING THE ELEGANCE AND ROMANCE OF A BYGONE AGE
In the context of engagement rings, the term ‘vintage’ means different things to different people, but we define vintage engagement rings to be those that are typical of the Edwardian and Victorian eras. Vintage-style engagement rings are typically ornate in design, and capture the elegance, romance and quality of these bygone eras. And more than a century after they first became popular, these striking designs are fashionable once again — testimony to the enduring style and beauty of these stunning rings.
Edwardian engagement rings
The death of Queen Victoria in 1901 was followed by the reign of her son, King Edward VII, who died in 1910. The Edwardian era witnessed the development of new technologies such as the car, the aeroplane and the cinema, and importantly for jewellery, the invention of the oxy-acetylene torch, which made it far easier for jewellers to work with platinum.
Platinum’s high tensile strength allowed the Edwardians to pioneer elaborate and delicate designs, with lacy patterns and open filigree.
Coloured gems experienced a resurgence in popularity during the period, with sapphires often being used as the main gemstone for engagement rings, and small diamonds being used for decoration.
The jewellery of this era matched the spirit of the ‘Belle Epoque’ – elegant, feminine and delicate, to complement the silk dresses and feathered hats of the time. This really was the ‘Beautiful Era’.
In the gallery above, you can view a selection of some of the bespoke vintage-style rings that we’ve made to order for previous clients. Alternatively, you may wish to browse our Engagement Ring Collection for the vintage-style rings that we have in stock.
