Spotlight On... Vintage Inspired Engagement Rings

Vintage inspired engagement rings can embody the romanticism and artistry of eras past. While we describe certain syles as vintage, one of the most beautiful elements of fine jewelry is that it truly is timeless and often evades the cycles of trends that come and go. We are often inspired by previous design eras and have made so many stunning vintage inspired engagement rings, all of which have modern design details to give them an entirely one of a kind style. Discover just a few of our favorite vintage inspired engagement rings and styles below.

BOLD HALOS

A bold halo has a regal and romantic presence. The look of the late Princess Diana's sapphire and diamond engagement ring is the inspiration of so many vintage inspired engagement ring designs. Personalize this setting to match your unique style by adding your favorite gemstones or opting for all diamonds for a more traditional bridal look. We call this our Galaxy halo setting. It frames a center stone with large diamonds or gems and adds tiny pavé diamonds in between to create the appearance of an entire galaxy in a ring.
