The Inspiration Behind Our Unique Rings!
Antique engagement rings feature unique designs that are inspired by the past, mainly the Edwardian, Victorian, and Art Deco eras. Each of these eras has a distinct style that continues to inspire the design of countless engagement rings.
Blossom with a Victorian Look!
The Victorian era spanned from 1837 to 1901, which coincides with Queen Victoria’s reign over the British Empire.
The love between Queen Victoria and her husband inspired jewelry designers to create romantic and feminine pieces in yellow and rose gold.
Today’s designers incorporate delicate flowers, birds, bows, and hearts into their engagement ring designs to capture the romance of this era.
The Bigger, The Better!
The Edwardian era is named for King Edward VII, who reigned over the British Empire from 1901 to 1910.
Bows, knots, ribbons, curves, and spirals are often incorporated into the designs of Edwardian engagement rings. Whereas the Victorian era was known for its delicate jewelry, the Edwardian era is known for its opulent and oversized platinum and white gold pieces that turn heads and start conversations.
Despite their large size, these engagement rings are still designed to look lightweight and effortless.
