Not only are antique rings one-of-a-kind, they also come with a unique history (they've been worn by many women before you!), personality, and elegance that modern rings do not. Whether you have your eyes on an Art Deco piece or prefer something Edwardian, vintage rings are an excellent choice for a worldly bride-to-be with sophisticated taste. When choosing a vintage ring, it's all about the details. These antique pieces go way beyond your standard center stone or settings. These rings offer Old World charm and an intensely intricate design, which ultimately comes down to how they were made (true vintage diamonds were cut by hand!). Popular antique cuts include old mine and old European diamonds; the settings come with a romantic beauty, themselves, thanks to scrolls, squares, and flowers etched in filigree on the ring's shank. You'll often find that vintage engagement rings are comprised of more than one stone—in fact, a lot of vintage rings forgo one significantly larger center stone for a mosaic of diamonds clustered together. It's also not uncommon to find a diamond accented by another colorful gemstone (or two). As for where to find certified vintage designs? Check out jewelers like Trumpet & Horn and Doyle & Doyle; major retailers like Forevermark, Brilliant Earth and Cathy Waterman offer wonderful vintage-style rings, too. The best part? No antique ring is made the same way, so if you're looking for a vintage engagement ring, you're choosing something truly unique. 02 of 25 Trumpet & Horn Courtesy of Trumpet & Horn Trumpet & Horn "Winthrop" Ring, $14,500, trumpetandhorn.com . 03 of 25 Queen May Jewelry Courtesy of Queen May Jewelry Queen May Jewelry Art Deco Platinum European Cut Diamond Ring, $14,630, queenmayjewelry.com . 04 of 25 Pippin Vintage Courtesy of Pippin Vintage Pippin Vintage Diamond Platinum Buttercup Ring, $11,800, pippinvintage.com . 05 of 25 Argo & Lehne Jewelers Courtesy of Argo & Lehne Jewelers Argo & Lehne Jewelers Yellow and White Gold Vintage Diamond and Yellow Diamond Ring, $24,400, argolehne.com . 06 of 25 Victor Barbone Courtesy of Victor Barbone Victor Barbone "Marsha" Ring, $29,000, victorbarbone.com . 07 of 25 Croghan's Jewel Box Courtesy of Croghan's Jewel Box Croghan's Jewel Box Art Deco Emerald and Diamond Platinum Ring, $13,860, croghansjewelbox.com . 08 of 25 NY Fine Jewelry Courtesy of Etsy NY Fine Jewelry Vintage Oval Engagement Ring, from $625, etsy.com . 09 of 25 Doyle & Doyle Courtesy of Doyle & Doyle Doyle & Doyle Vintage Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring, $5,300, doyledoyle.com . 10 of 25 Erica Weiner Courtesy of Erica Weiner Erica Weiner Midcentury Emerald-Cut Diamond Ring with Cinched Shoulders, $6,000, ericaweiner.com . 11 of 25 Erstwhile Courtesy of Erstwhile Erstwhile Antique Diamond Engagement Ring, $8,500, erstwhilejewelry.com . 12 of 25 Brilliant Earth Courtesy of Brilliant Earth Brilliant Earth "The Sedlow" Ring, $9,650, brilliantearth.com . 13 of 25 MS Jewelers Courtesy of Etsy MS Jewelers Marquise Diamond Solitaire Victorian Engagement Ring, $3,985, etsy.com . 14 of 25 Isadoras Courtesy of Isadoras Isadoras Art Deco Three-Stone Diamond Ring, $6,400, isadoras.com . 15 of 25 Victor Barbone Courtesy of Victor Barbone Victor Barbone "Roxy" Ring, $38,500, victorbarbone.com . 16 of 25 1stdibs Courtesy of 1stdibs 1stdibs Victorian Old Mine Cut Diamond Gold Engagement Ring, $4,500, 1stdibs.com . 17 of 25 Argo & Lehne Jewelers Courtesy of Argo & Lehne Jewelers Argo & Lehne Jewelers Yellow Gold Vintage Diamond Sapphire Ring, $12,200, argolehne.com . 18 of 25 Pippin Vintage Courtesy of Pippin Vintage Pippin Vintage Old Mine Cut Diamond Pavé Shield Ring, $3,200, pippinvintage.com . 19 of 25 Queen May Jewelry Courtesy of Queen May Jewelry Queen May Jewelry Art Deco Platinum Three-Stone Diamond Ring, $8,500, queenmayjewelry.com . 20 of 25 Croghan's Jewel Box Courtesy of Croghan's Jewel Box Croghan's Jewel Box Antique Old Mine Cut Diamond Platinum Ring, $8,000, croghansjewelbox.com . 21 of 25 Trumpet & Horn Courtesy of Trumpet & Horn Trumpet & Horn "Kamari" Ring, $12,500, trumpetandhorn.com . 22 of 25 Erica Weiner Courtesy of Erica Weiner Erica Weiner Victorian Old Mine Cut Diamond Ribbon Ring, $1,500, ericaweiner.com . 23 of 25 Erstwhile Courtesy of Erstwhile Erstwhile Marquise-Cut Diamond Vintage Engagement Ring, $7,500, erstwhilejewelry.com . 24 of 25 Brilliant Earth Courtesy of Brilliant Earth Brilliant Earth "The Yonce" Ring, $39,750, brilliantearth.com . 25 of 25 Isadoras Courtesy of Isadoras Isadoras Victorian Topaz and Diamond Rings, $2,800, isadoras.com .
