Types of Vintage Solitaire Engagement Rings
Victorian Engagement Rings: 1835 – 1901
Victorian rings are rare to find because they were made so long ago, but you should be able to find images that we could use to create one. They are usually very intricate and decorative, with engravings of scrolls etc.
Victorian often have a large center stone accented by several smaller stones. It is similar to today’s halo setting, but with a few differences. Diamonds were not as common then as they are today, so other stones were commonly used. Sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and pearls were used far more than they are today.

Edwardian Engagement Rings: Early 1900s

It was in this period that the oxyacetylene torch was invented. This tool allowed for metal be heated to extremely high temperatures.
The high heat annealed the metal and made it soft enough to manipulate. It is a hallmark of most Edwardian rings. People were quick to adopt the designs that filigree offered.
Milgrain refers to the placement of small beads of metal in a decorative pattern or on the edge of something like a bezel or halo. We almost always use milgrain in our Custom Vintage Solitaire Engagement Rings.

Art Deco Engagement Rings: 1920s – 1940s
The most popular and recognizable type of vintage rings are those from the art deco period. Art deco is a vague and broad term, but it essentially describes a distinct style of visual design that was applied to everything from buildings to cars and paintings to jewelry. Although there are no rigid rules on what makes a ring art deco, there are some principles that art deco designs have in common.
While rings Edwardian engagement rings were decorative, frilly, and ultra-feminine, art deco is more about stern angular shapes and symmetry. This tied in with the exploding modernization happening around the world at the time. People like Henry Ford were just starting to mass produce Model Ts, air travel was in its infancy, and manufacturing equipment was becoming more advanced. Industrialists weren’t the only ones to benefit from this. Jewelers were now able to do much more than they were previously able to.
