Question 1

Are these vintage rings antique, or new?

Accepted Answer

They are new. Every ring here is made new in a vintage style, set with a certified lab grown diamond — not an antique or an estate piece. The vintage look comes from the detailing: milgrain beading, filigree, hand-engraving and low, delicate halos, made to look like rings from an earlier era.

Because they are new, you get the vintage look with a modern, certified diamond, our 30-day returns and one free resize on eligible rings within 30 days of delivery.

Question 2

What makes an engagement ring look vintage?

Accepted Answer

A few details give a ring its vintage look. Milgrain is a row of tiny metal beads along the edges. Filigree is fine metal lacework. Hand-engraving adds pattern to the band. Low halos, three-stone layouts and art deco geometry all read as vintage. Together they give an old-world feel on a new ring.

Question 3

Are vintage engagement rings cheaper, and how much do they cost?

Accepted Answer

Our vintage rings are new, so they are not priced like antiques — a genuine antique can be cheaper or dearer depending on its age and maker. Ours are priced by the setting's detail plus the diamond, and a lab grown diamond keeps the cost down. Because diamond prices change daily, we show today's live prices below instead of a fixed figure.

Detailed settings can cost a little more to make than a plain band. See today's prices: lab grown diamonds · vintage settings

Question 4

Which diamond shape looks best in a vintage setting?

Accepted Answer

There is no single best shape — it comes down to the look you want. Emerald and asscher cuts suit art deco geometry; cushion and oval suit soft, romantic vintage detail; round works with almost any vintage setting. Pick the shape you love and match it to a setting from the grid above.

Question 5

Which metals suit a vintage engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

Yellow gold and rose gold read the most vintage — their warmth suits milgrain and engraving. Platinum suits crisp art deco lines and never needs re-plating. White gold gives a bright, cooler vintage look. Every vintage setting comes in platinum or in 14K or 18K gold.

Question 6

What wedding band goes with a vintage engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

A contoured or milgrain band that matches the setting's detail sits closely against a vintage ring and keeps the look consistent. For a cleaner art deco setting, a straight band with matching engraving works well. Match the band's detail to the engagement ring's, not just its metal.
