“The romance of the Victorian, Edwardian and art deco eras have enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years. Round diamonds or old European center cut diamonds may be used in these antique-style rings, while the elongated form of emerald-cut stones coolly combines vintage and modern appeal. Designed to replicate elegant heirlooms, these diamond rings may include such nostalgic details as rose gold settings, scalloped edges, floral carvings or lacy scrolls.”

These nostalgic details make vintage diamond rings truly extraordinary, and Apples of Gold’s collection contains dozens of pieces that showcase the enduring elegance of these elements. Antique-style diamond rings are excellent options whether you’re popping the question or looking for a show-stopping and feminine piece for your right hand. Let’s look at three gorgeous vintage-style diamond rings that have recently been added to Apples of Gold’s selection.

The 1.31 Carat Antique Halo Engagement Ring takes glamour to new level  with a design that seems to magnify the sparkle of over a carat and a quarter of diamonds. A half carat round stone is the centerpiece of this stunning ring, and it’s surrounded by a frame of smaller glittering diamonds that amplify the dazzle of this sparkling focal point. While these stones are the first ones to draw the eye, they’re far from the only source of glimmer in this vintage halo ring. Both the outer surface and the sides of the band are studded with additional diamonds, for a total of over 80 stones. Delicate milgrain edges offset all of these gems, providing a sense of timeless class.

The 1 Carat Art Deco Swirl Engagement Ring in 14K Rose Gold captures the excitement of the 1920s using not one but two common elements of vintage settings: rose gold and scroll-like designs. A timeless one-carat round diamond rises elegantly above this ring in a four-prong setting. This single dazzling gem overlooks a warmly glowing rose gold band that’s been carved with graceful swirls.

If you’re looking for a vintage style that’s undeniably glamorous and overflowing with sparkle, don’t miss the 0.89 Carat Vintage Style Engagement Ring. A half carat round diamond is accented by 64 smaller stones that are lavishly arranged in elegant lines and curves, creating a look with breathtaking sparkle. Petite beaded edges hem in these stones, adding an extra measure of sophistication. This exquisite ring is also available in 14K rose gold, 14K yellow gold or platinum if you prefer; you can also select this style with one of a rainbow of gemstones.

These vintage diamond rings may be new to Apples of Gold’s collection, but their style is truly time-tested. The vintage trend is one with beauty that’s sure to endure.

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.

The romance of times past comes alive in the Vintage Filigree Garnet Heart Ring in Sterling Silver. One glance of this Victorian-inspired ring will bring to mind images of a simpler time, conjuring up feelings of nostalgia and longing even if you’ve can’t remember a time before cell phones and constant screen time.

Although the motif of this ring harkens back over a century, the art form used to create it is far older than that. Filigree, a form of craftsmanship that’s projected sophistication and style for thousands of years from Egypt to Ireland to India, creates a design that’s timelessly feminine, while graceful carved curls frame a gemstone that seems to glow from the inside.

The garnet featured in this ring is the perfect gem to carry you from fall to winter. Its rich, saturated sparkle gives off a feeling of warmth at a time when the colors of the leaves have given way to gray days. It’s also the ideal gem for expressing love, and the heart shape of the garnet featured in this ring emphasizes any expression of affection. At a centimeter wide and high, it’s bold enough to be sure that its message will come across loud and clear.

Like all of Apples of Gold’s garnet rings, this vintage garnet heart ring is crafted from the highest quality silver that’s available for jewelry. Known as .925 sterling silver, this metal is a durable silver alloy that’s well loved for its versatile luster. Its cool sheen serves as a perfect counterpoint to the rich crimson gemstone that stars in this ring.

Vintage rings like this eye-catching example are timeless choices in silver gemstone jewelry. These styles have already proven that they have staying power, and are ideal for expressing lasting affection.
