If you’re in your vintage era and looking for a ring to drop a hint, you’ve come to the right place! Here’s where you’ll find the most vibrant and stunning vintage style engagement rings for 2024. Vintage style jewelry is trending due to its intricate and detailed nature. The intricacy of the band, the setting, the unique shape of the gemstone… there are many reasons why vintage-style is back for engagement rings and we are here for it!

Read on to see some of the top picks for handmade vintage-inspired engagement rings from independent artists who are as passionate about this trend as you are! It shows in their craftsmanship.

Whether you’re drawn in to the Art Deco styles, or perhaps more of the Victorian era treasures, here are some examples you’ll love! The Morganite tiara ring is my favorite. It almost pulls you into another era.

Let’s get started!

Vintage inspired rings offer a classic and timeless nature that never go out of style.

Unlike modern and minimalist styles of today, many details set vintage styles apart from the new designs. From intricate filigree patterns, which are found on the band and are made by weaving fine threads of metal, to lace-like effects created from the metal spun in a particular way, there’s a lot to love when it comes to a vintage style engagement ring.

In addition, vintage engagement rings typically offer hand-engraving on the band, or around the setting, made from tiny chisels that carefully etch the designs into the metal surface of the ring. It’s not just for initials, either: many times, vintage rings feature geometric motifs, floral designs, or custom messages.

While you may imagine this is done in a factory-setting, guess again: fine engraving is often done by hand which makes vintage engagement rings even more sought-after solely for its custom and unique nature.

In addition to the enchanting world of vintage engagement rings, there is another era that deserves our attention: the Art Deco period. With its bold geometric designs, glamorous aesthetics, and exquisite use of precious materials, Art Deco masterpieces are a feast for the eyes. These rings reflect the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, a time of opulence and celebration, and are the perfect choice for those who crave a touch of old-world glamour.

Art Deco engagement rings are characterized by their clean lines, symmetrical patterns, and architectural inspiration. From the intricately carved filigree and delicate milgrain detailing to the dazzling array of colorful gemstones, each ring is a unique work of art. The combination of platinum, diamond, and vibrant gemstones such as emeralds, sapphires, and rubies creates a visual spectacle that is both extravagant and refined.

Victorian Treasures

With their intricate details and delicate designs, Victorian engagement rings have the power to transport you to a world of refined beauty and old-world charm.

Crafted during the reign of Queen Victoria, these rings are a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the era. They often feature elaborate filigree work, floral motifs, and intricate settings that showcase the creativity and attention to detail of the Victorian jewelry makers. Whether adorned with sparkling diamonds or colorful gemstones, each ring tells a unique story and captures a specific moment in history.

While Victorian engagement rings often feature traditional diamond cuts such as rose cuts or old mine cuts, they also incorporate a variety of gemstones, including sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. This eclectic mix of stones adds a touch of vibrancy and individuality to each piece, allowing you to find a ring that perfectly matches your personal style and preferences.
