Antique & Vintage Engagement Rings

We guarantee that every piece of our jewellery is 100% authentic. If you require formal certification for your vintage engagement ring, we can arrange this for you for a small fee. We’re also able to provide professional valuations on request. If you have any questions or would like to arrange either service, please get in touch with our team.

The key to making your ring last a lifetime is caring for it properly. We recommend taking off your ring for things like going to the gym, washing up, or swimming to protect it. When you’re not wearing it, store your ring in a secure place like a jewellery box to prevent tarnishing. For cleaning, we advise using a mild combination of warm water and dish soap, gently scrubbing your ring with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Ensure the ring is completely dry before putting it back on.

If you’re measuring your, or a significant other’s ring size, there are several ways to go about getting an exact size.

• Visit a local jeweller, who will measure your ring size for you.
• Use a ring you already have, by tracing its inner circumference and comparing with our conversion chart.
• Take a piece of string or ribbon and wrap it around your ring finger. Cut the string or make a mark on it with a pen and hold the piece to a tape measure. Note its length and find the correct size according to our conversion chart.

Our ring size guide talks more in detail about finding the perfect ring size.

Choosing a ring is an entirely personal decision, it should be about the ring that speaks to you and your partner. 

If you’re buying for someone else, it’s important to note whether they wear silver or gold jewellery and be sure to choose a piece made in that same metal. 

In a similar vein, consider whether they wear simplistic jewellery with minimal design, or whether they lean toward more maximalist pieces. We offer a distinct variety of both styles, so you have plenty to choose from. 

Once you’ve got an idea of the ring metal and design, it’s then about choosing the stone. Diamond rings are traditionally associated with engagement, but everyone has different styles and preferences. 

We’re experts in antique engagement rings, so if you need some guidance, we’re here to help.    

You’ll find that different time periods use different ring styles, so it’s all about what best reflects you and your partner.

For example, Art Deco Engagement Rings – originating from the 1920s and 30s – are known for their symmetrical and geometric patterns. On the other hand, Edwardian Engagement Rings typically feature more intricate, detailed designs.

Unless you have an era preference, we recommend simply browsing our collection and choosing one that stands out to you.
