These days, there’s a lot less emphasis on the newest thing. At least, that seems to be the case with wedding rings. Because love and marriage are age-old concepts that date back thousands of years, vintage wedding bands can often remind us of the importance of that lifetime commitment. That’s especially true when you consider the high divorce rate in today’s society.
Vintage jewelry generally has become much more popular in the last few years. One reason for this is that many people are tired of the monolithic, plain, and even boring styles of modern jewelry. On the other hand, jewelry that mimics vintage and antique styles lets us enjoy something more unique. In the context of wedding jewelry, the right style can even remind us of marriages and our families that truly lasted forever.
It used to be that wedding rings that looked vintage probably were. Often, these wedding bands for women were passed down from one generation to the next. Perhaps a young man would give his fiancée a ring that his late aunt wore, or maybe his grandmother. Having her wear an heirloom not only saved money but also included her in the family history.
While some families have and continue to pass down their genuine antiques, this isn’t all possible. Additionally, many couples want a new ring that looks old but isn’t. Therefore, vintage-inspired diamond wedding bands have become very popular. Buying something that’s different from the latest designs adds authenticity and nostalgia to a ring choice.
As we mentioned above, many people choose a vintage-style ring because it’s different and beautiful. But what are the major features of these rings? The one thing all of them have in common is that they are styled according to a bygone era. However, when most of us think of vintage-inspired styles, we’re often thinking about filigree, Milgrain, scrollwork, and the geometric Art Deco vibes. Generally, a vintage-inspired ring will showcase high-quality craftsmanship and unique features.
if you love the vintage vibe, we have several options available. Each of these features diamonds and the echoes of a bygone era. Yet, they are modern, so you don’t have to worry about repairs or wear and tear.
Because the Art Deco period took place largely during the great depression, one of its hallmarks is small stones. This lovely wedding band has 31 diamonds surrounded by Milgrain details. You’ll find some diamonds on the top of the ring shank, while other diamonds are on the sides. This provides major sparkle at a reasonable price. For the most authentic looks, choose yellow gold or platinum.
Simple yet elegant, this wedding band features 42 sparkling pave diamonds. These diamonds are arranged in a unique pattern reminiscent of flower petals or leaves. In particular, the leaf motif is enhanced by a row of gold Milgrain right down the middle of the two diamond rows. We love the simple romanticism of this wedding band, which you can easily whereby itself and still enjoy a unique look.
This vintage wedding band has it all. Among the styles of the past is a love for metalwork, and this ring delivers. There is chevron-shaped wire work along the sides of the wedding band, reminiscent of a gold chain that your grandmother may have worn. It also taps into the Victorian and Edwardian filigree styles, making it look delicate yet substantial. At the top of the ring, you will find 30 small diamonds surrounded by Milgrain gold work. This ring is truly a work of art for serious jewelry lovers.
Do you love big, bulky engagement rings? So did many women in bygone eras too. That’s why we have this model in our wedding rings for women collection. It’s shaped to accommodate a hexagonal ring setting, which would’ve been common in the Edwardian and Art Deco euros. You could also use it for rings with a marquise or pear-shaped diamond, as appropriate. Design-wise, this ring also features 13 small diamonds surrounded by wavy Milgrain settings. A real classic!
The classic design of this engagement ring makes it a perfect choice for someone who wants a piece of jewelry that is both beautiful and timeless. This engagement ring is sure to be loved and cherished.
This slightly curved band is a great choice for women who want that vintage look while keeping it simple. This wedding ring features 27 small stones in a straight line along the ring shank. These stones are framed by Milgrain details along the knife edge top. Finally, the slight curve accommodates engagement rings with a larger shank or a center diamond that attracts attention. We love the understated elegance of this band by itself, too.
With all these lovely vintage wedding bands, it’s easy to wonder how anybody can pick the perfect one. Fortunately, we have a few tips that can help:
There are many good reasons why wedding bands for women are increasingly taking on a vintage vibe. From wanting to match an heirloom engagement ring, to preferring the romantic, or even just loving the aesthetic, choosing a vintage band delivers. However, you should always make sure that you choose a ring that’s also well-suited for your budget and her sense of style. Best of all, because this ring is new, you’ll set your own tradition by building on the past.
How can you tell the difference between fake and real white gold?
The easiest way to know is by having a jeweler do a scratch test. However, real gold should always have a marking that indicates the gold purity. If you don’t see one and the ring is modern, it’s probably fake.
Is it possible to re-plate white gold jewelry?
Yes, it is. In fact, your local jeweler probably does it regularly.
Is white gold a durable gem?
White gold is a durable metal, but it is typically alloyed with other metals such as nickel or palladium to increase its strength and give it a whitish appearance. When used in jewelry, white gold is often coated with rhodium to enhance its whiteness and provide extra protection against wear and tear. However, like any material, white gold can be scratched or damaged over time, and its rhodium plating can wear off, revealing the metal underneath. To keep white gold jewelry looking its best, it is important to take care of it properly, such as by storing it safely and avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals.
