The 3/4 Carat Art Deco Diamond Wedding Ring Set captures the style of the 1920s with dozens of glittering diamonds. The center stone of this pair’s engagement ring is a timeless round stone, slightly over a quarter carat in weight; while this diamond has plenty of sparkle on its own, it’s far from the only source of glimmer in this set. Two concentric frames of smaller round diamonds surround this center stone, forming square-shaped borders with rounded edges that extends that extends the appearance of these rings’ spotlight gem. The bands of the both the engagement ring and the wedding band are studded with additional round diamonds, adding the perfect finishing touch to a look that’s both glamorous and timeless. It would have been just as at home on the left hand of an old Hollywood star as it is on the left hand of any modern sophisticated bride.

No stone captures lasting love quite like a diamond: as the hardest of gemstones it displays a perpetual brilliance that serves as a fitting symbol of lasting love. Vintage bridal ring sets that are overflowing with diamonds amplify this symbolism as they combine time-tested styles with the most resilient and beautiful of gemstones.

The 1.69 Carat Antique Style Diamond Bridal Set is a stunning example of a vintage pair that’s lavished with diamonds. Over 160 diamonds glitter from this dazzling engagement ring and wedding band set. A third-carat round diamond rises from the engagement ring, presiding over two diamond-studded bands. Channel-set stones cover every visible side of these bands, divided into rows by delicate beaded edges. This set sparkles from every side, and serves as a lifelong reminder that your love is beautiful no matter how you look at it.

Classic precious gemstones such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds add timeless touches of rich color to rings that are inspired by times past. For instance, the Vintage Filigree Ruby Ring in 14K White Gold places a 2.5mm round ruby in the center of an intricate 14K white gold design. An airy filigree motif adorns the top of this demure piece, while engraved flowers and ribbons are expertly carved onto the slender 2mm band. This ring captures the romanticism of the Victorian Era and makes it accessible for modern women.

The ability of vintage styles to capture the romanticism of times gone by allows them to serve as meaningful and beautiful engagement rings. When given as symbols of commitment and affection, these pieces become not only stylish statements, but also declarations of a love that will last for years and years to come.

For instance, the Enchanted White Topaz Ring in 14K White Gold readily serves as a feminine, meaningful and surprisingly affordable engagement ring. A 4.5mm round white topaz glimmers from the center of this Victorian design; this gem is a budget-friendly stand-in for a diamond that has a beauty all its own. The setting that holds this unique gem is painstakingly crafted into an emblem of an era of romance. Swirls and cutouts form a memorable motif that elevates this ring far above the ordinary.

Of course, vintage diamond rings also serve equally well as statements of good taste and declarations of love. A diamond—the hardest, most durable gemstone—seems especially fitting is styles that have proven their staying power, and its matchless sparkle breathes life into time-tested designs.

The Vintage Fleur-de-Lis Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold is a fitting example of an antique style that’s full of life. The graceful Fleur-de-lis (French for “flower of the lily”) motif that gracefully adorns this ring has been used as a symbol since the 12^th century, a time when it represented French royalty, as well as light, life and perfection. Later, English kings incorporated this symbol in their coats of Arms, and it’s even said that Joan of Arc carried a flag that portrayed this motif when she led the French troops into battle. Needless to say, this design has a long history. But, when it’s crafted in airy fashion from 14K white gold and accented with a 0.10 carat round diamond, it becomes a gorgeous piece for the present.

Antique-style gemstones rings may be inspired by the past, but they’re far from outdated. As these pieces prove, these designs haven’t lost any of their appeal.

Like all diamonds, black diamonds are a form of carbon; however, they have a different carbon isotope than their more common white counterparts. Naturally-occurring black diamonds are very rare, and because of this, they’re very expensive. However, that doesn’t mean that black diamond jewelry is only accessible to those with stacks of cash to burn. Naturally-occurring white diamonds can take on a black hue through a heat or irradiation treatment in a lab, and black diamonds that are created in this manner are much more affordable than those found in nature.

Although black diamonds that get their color in a lab come at a much lower price than those that are found in nature, it’s important to note that these aren’t “fake” or “created” gems. Rather, they’re genuine, naturally-occurring black diamonds that have been given an extra dose of sophisticated personality.

Black diamonds give even the simplest styles a luxurious feel. Solitaries and three-stone black diamonds rings are versatile, classy options that can take any outfit up a notch. For instance, the 2 Carat Black Diamond Solitaire Ring isn’t complicated, but it’s sure to turn heads. A sizeable, round black diamond is upheld by a sleek, shining 14K white gold band, creating a look that’s minimalistic but endlessly chic. While this ring could easily serve as an always-fashionable addition to any jewelry collection, it could also be a unique engagement ring, perfect for expressing a love that’s far from mundane.

Black diamonds are wonderfully contrasted by their white relatives, as each stone highlights the other’s strengths. This is simply but stunningly demonstrated in the 2.00 Carat Black and White Three Stone Diamond Ring, which hugs a round 1 carat black diamond with two round half carat white diamonds.

If you’re on an especially tight budget, but still want to take advantage of the mysterious beauty of black diamonds, consider one of Apples of Gold’s silver black diamond rings. For instance, the Enchanted Black Diamond Ring in .925 Sterling Silver places an intriguing 0.25 carat black diamond in a Victorian-style setting, creating a striking contrast between feminine shapes and curves and a bold, modern stone.

Want to adorn more than just your hand with the mysterious allure of black diamonds? Try adding a pair of black diamond earrings! Black diamond studs such as the 0.50 Carat Round Black Diamond Stud Earrings in 14K White Gold pair elegantly with any black diamond ring, or stand on their own as chic accents for your ears.

In short, black diamonds are luxurious, beautiful, mysterious and affordable—what’s not to love? Try one of these sophisticated styles to experience the intrigue of black diamonds for yourself.

So, what exactly is Art Deco? It’s a style of design that was popular in the Roaring 20s, characterized by geometric shapes and highly-stylized motifs such as animals and flowers. The lines and shapes of Art Deco influenced the design of everything from architecture (such as the Chrysler Building in New York City) and automobiles to clothing and jewelry.

Art Deco originated in France and gained favor after the 1925 World’s Fair, held in Paris, when examples of this style were on display for many to see. The name “Art Deco” is a shortened form of the name of the event that showcased this style—the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (the International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts)—and this term has come to embody the decorative, geometric designs of this style.

Art Deco jewelry often featured intricate geometric patterns, as demonstrated by the Vintage Art Deco Emerald Ring. The sweeping lines that point to this ring’s gemstone create an architectural look that gives evidence to the fact that it was constructed with great care. A 4mm round emerald and two smaller diamonds are upheld by these lines of 14K white gold, serving as vibrant accents to a motif that’s full of movement.

Modern gems can provide a lovely complement to Art Deco styles. The stone featured in the Roman Art Deco Tanzanite and Diamond Ring wasn’t discovered until approximately a half a century after the Art Deco period, but this 6mm round tanzanite works perfectly with the modern personality of this ring, adding a pop of cornflower blue sparkle to a classy vintage setting.

Any Art Deco-inspired ring could serve as a unique and stunning engagement ring. Whether you choose a piece with a brightly-colored gemstone or a vintage diamond ring, Art Deco styles readily communicate that your love is able to withstand the test of time.

If you’d prefer a diamond style, consider the 1/4 Carat Art Deco Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold. This one-of-a-kind piece is an excellent example of the stylized flowers that were often seen in Art Deco designs: a shining lotus blossom opens its petals to reveal a dazzling ¼ carat round diamond. This flower is contrasted by the intricately carved leaf and swirl motif that accents the band. It’s a look that’s full of life, despite the fact that it’s inspired by a design that’s nearly a century old.

While Art Deco faded during the Great Depression, it was never forgotten. Today, it’s back in a big way, and antique-style rings that feature the designs of this period are timeless pieces of class and beauty.

The deep sparkle of London blue topaz allows it to add a rich, modern look to pieces inspired by the past. For instance, the design of the 1 Carat London Blue Topaz Art Deco Ring harkens back to the 1920s, but the alluring indigo stone that it features gives it an eye-catching appeal that’s perfect for today. This gem is revealed within the opening petals of a shining 14K white gold flower. The intricately, expertly carved design displayed by the band of this ring is lush with paisley-like swirls and leaves, adding a fitting accent to the blossom that rises from it. This piece could serve as a strong fashion statement or as a unique engagement ring.

If you’d rather let the beauty of London blue topaz speak for itself, consider a minimalistic style such as the London Blue Topaz Gemstone Solitaire Ring in 14K White Gold. This unfussy but ultimately classy piece is available in your choice of stone sizes, allowing you to go bold or stay a bit more understated. In addition to 14K white gold, this style is also available in yellow gold, which offers a sunny contrast to the cool color of the starring gem.

The relative affordability of London blue topaz allows you to purchase even a sizeable stone without draining your bank account. If large, daring gems are your cup of tea, Apples of Gold carries a number of London blue topaz options that are sure to satisfy your craving for style that’s far from timid. For instance, the 5.00 Carat Emerald-Cut London Blue Topaz and Diamond Ring features a striking 5-carat emerald-cut topaz, over a centimeter high, that will turn heads and offer evidence of your good taste. Two baguette-cut diamonds, 0.15 carats each, serve as sparkling bookends to this show-stopping stone. A simple 14K white gold setting allows the gems in this ring to take the spotlight.

If you’re drawn to the style of the above ring and want to extend it to your ears, try adding the 3.40 Carat Emerald-Cut London Blue Topaz Stud Earrings. This flattering pair echoes the shape and color of that ring’s featured gem, interpreting it as a duo of 8mm-high London blue topaz stones, held by 14K white gold basket settings. While these earrings are gorgeous on their own, you can also purchase them with the ring with which they coordinate as the Emerald-Cut London Blue Topaz Ring and Earring Set.

It’s hard to match the rich beauty of London blue topaz jewelry! Try one of these rings or pairs of earrings for a looks that’s perfect match for winter styles.

Purple amethyst may get most of the attention, but its green sibling has plenty to offer. Its light, slightly minty green may initially hide the fact that it’s a variety of a stone often associated with royalty, but its poised personality gives it away. Green amethyst’s cool color is both soothing and lively, making it an ideal gem for the time of year when we look for rest and energy after the busyness of the holidays.

If you’re looking for a classic style with a twist, look no further than timeless solitaires and three-stone styles set with green amethyst. For instance, Apples of Gold’s Green Amethyst Gemstone Solitaire Ring in 14K White Gold exhibits a time-honored design that will never fall out of fashion, but with a unique green sparkle that sets it apart.

The Vintage Leaf Green Amethyst Ring in 14K White Gold offers a reminder that spring that will eventually come, not only through its refreshing color but also through the delicate leaf motif that’s expertly engraved into the band. This elegant design harkens to times past and brings to mind a time when life didn’t move at such a breakneck pace. The 8mm round green amethyst featured in this ring adds a lush splash of color, while a heart hidden in the setting underneath this stone gives this ring a secret touch of romance. It’s perfect for sending a message about the love that you share.

If a classic style with a fresh color palate sounds appealing, don’t miss the Sea-Foam Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold. This ring would be just as at home on the finger of a princess as it would be on your own. A sizeable 2.80 carat green amethyst, a full centimeter high, is accented by a ring of small, sparkling diamonds and held by a diamond-encrusted band. Although this ring is eye-catching, its gentle color assures that it never needs to shout to garner attention.

If you’d like to add a bit of spring-like color to more than just your finger, try adding a pair of green amethyst earrings such as the Green Amethyst and Diamonds Heart Shape Earrings in 10K White Gold. This pair surrounds 4mm green amethyst hearts with diamonds and drops them just below your earlobes for a lighthearted touch of cool glimmer. These earrings would make a lovely gift for someone who refreshes your heart.

Any of these green amethyst rings or earrings will refresh your look in the coldest days of winter with a reminder that spring will eventually come. Their ability to symbolize life and vitality no matter what the weather makes them winning picks for January and well into the spring.

Beaded edges add elegance and textural interest. When viewed from the side, the rings reveal an additional shade of personality: a geometric repeating Art Deco-style motif is expertly carved, and points to the center stone. In addition to 14K white gold, this set is also available in 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, 18K gold or platinum by request.

The wedding band in this set is similarly adorned and it matches the slope of its partner in perfect harmony.

While any of these diamond wedding ring sets readily communicate that you treasure your love, gemstone bridal sets are also gorgeous and meaningful options. Try a pair of rings that features a ruby or garnet to send a message of unabashed affection, select a set with aquamarine for a love that always refreshes you or go for one of Apples of Gold’s ring pairings that utilizes a unique gemstone (such as pink topaz) to show that you cherish your one-of-a-kind connection.

The way the pieces in these diamond-laden bridal jewelry sets complement one another is far from ordinary. Try one to represent the treasure of the bond you share.

These rings originate in a simpler time—a time before cell phones, the internet and instant everything, when life moved at a markedly slower pace. By slipping one of them on your finger, you bring to mind a less complicated era when beauty and romance were celebrated and savored.

Apples of Gold’s collection of vintage gemstone rings features a range of stone, from jewelry classics like emerald and amethyst to unique gems such as pink topaz. Each one gives these time-honored styles a new personality, providing a number of modern interpretations for today’s women.

The Vintage Emerald-Cut Amethyst Ring in 14K White Gold places a stunning emerald-cut amethyst, 10mm high, on display like a piece of fine art in an exquisite frame. However, unlike the pieces that line museum walls, this piece showcases its beauty wherever you go. A sizeable, glimmering violet stone gives a regal personality to this ring; however, that’ not all there is to admire about this piece. An elegant filigree setting surrounds this Victorian-style ring, making clear the level of craftsmanship that was poured into creating it.

Fans of 1920s-inspired style also have a number of head-turning bridal pieces to choose from. For example, the Vintage Floral Aquamarine Ring in 14K White Gold places a cool, glimmering aquamarine, over a half carat in weight, in the spotlight. A lavishly carved floral motif adorns the band, giving this piece a look that’s extraordinarily beautiful.

In addition to their ability to make statement of style and good taste, vintage gemstone rings can also communicate lasting love. Gemstone engagement rings inspired by the past readily serve as symbols of love that stands the test of time. Celebrities including Carrie Underwood and Emily Blunt wear vintage styles on their left hands, demonstrating that these rings can serve as incredibly glamorous symbols of lasting affection.

For example, the Enchanted Garnet Ring in 14K White Gold seems to have been plucked from the pages of a fairy tale. A round garnet adds a burst of rich crimson glimmer, and gives this ring a timeless appeal. Victorian-inspired filigree creates an airy yet substantial setting that’s rich with lively swirls. While this ring is a striking fashion statement on its own, it also readily symbolizes love when it takes on the role of a unique engagement ring.

Whether you’re looking for a ring that’s on trend for your right hand or a unique engagement ring, vintage gemstone rings deliver. Each of these pieces provides a touch of the past that’s welcome in the present.

Heart pendants that represent the connection between two people are a lovely way to communicate your affection, and several of the pieces in Apples of Gold’s collection use interlocking hearts to create a picture of that bond. For instance, the Double Heart Pendant in 14K Yellow Gold links two hearts, a larger one glittering with diamonds (a symbol of the lasting nature of true love) and smaller one of solid 14k yellow gold. These two hearts, though different, work in perfect harmony to create a stylish pendant that’s a picture of the way that two people in a loving relationship complement one another.

Hearts showed up in a number of pieces inspired by the past, including the Vintage Filigree Garnet Heart Ring in 14K White Gold. This piece is clearly inspired by the Victorian Era, but it’s also a fitting symbol of love for the present. A sizeable heart of garnet is embraced by a lavishly-adorned setting of white gold. Lively but delicate filigree forms a pattern of swirls that surrounds this gem, while meticulously-carved flowers and ribbons give the band a big dose of feminine charm.

There are few places more fitting for hearts than wedding jewelry, and heart motifs have made their mark on both engagement rings and wedding bands. For those seeking a modern adaptation of a time-honored symbol, the Irish Celtic Heart Love Knot Wedding Band could be the perfect fit. A heart-shaped Celtic knot (a motif which many have used as a symbol of eternity) is etched in green in a seamless circle around this flat, contemporary band. Crafted from sleek, incredibly strong titanium, this ring is a picture of the fortitude of love and of its endless nature.

Jewelry that utilizes hearts and crosses combines two meaningful symbols, creating pictures of Christ’s ultimate demonstration of love. For instance, the Cross and Heart Diamond Pendant in 14K White Gold uses these two emblems to form a graceful and meaningful pendant. A simple, shining 14K white gold cross is surrounded by a sweeping heart like a warm embrace. Eight round channel-set diamonds accent this heart, adding sparkle that’s sure to draw eyes to this beautiful statement of Christ’s everlasting love—the love demonstrated when He gave His life for all people on the cross.

Whether you’re looking for a tender expression of affection, a sparkling declaration of faith or a symbol of the strength of your love, there’s a piece of heart jewelry that’s a perfect fit. And, since expressing love never goes out of fashion, these pieces will always be in good taste.

1. Pink Topaz Rings

The brilliant color of pink topaz has won it many fans, and it’s clear that this stone isn’t content to sit in the background. Pink Topaz Rings offer an eye-catching combination of girlish charm and daring appeal. For instance, the Emerald Cut Pink Topaz and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold puts a show-stopping 4.50 carat emerald-cut pink topaz on display, accented by 38 round diamonds that stud the band and form a frame around the center stone.

2. Vintage Jewelry

Vintage Rings have been popular picks for their time-honored style and irresistible feminine appeal. From bridal jewelry to gemstone rings for all occasions, the looks of the Victorian Era and the Art Deco Period continue to inspire many of most sought-after styles. For example, the Art Deco Diamond and Amethyst Ring in 14K White Gold showcases a 7mm cushion-cut amethyst, 7mm square, in a unique 14K white gold setting that calls to mind the stunning style of the 1920s with a perfectly-carved pattern. Eight channel-set diamonds accent the band, completing a look that captures the best of the past.

This pendant seems to capture an embrace and preserve the moment as a continual reminder of the love you share with that special someone.

4. Gold Crosses

While both white and yellow gold crosses are particularly popular right now, the message they convey is far from a passing fad.
