Vintage Engagement Ring FAQs
Vintage-style engagement rings draw on Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco design. Instead of a plain modern setting, you get milgrain edges, filigree, hand-engraved detail and geometric or lacy halos. The result is a ring with the character of an heirloom. Explore the eras through our Art Deco rings and Edwardian rings.
Yes. Moissanite is a lab-grown gemstone composed of silicon carbide (SiC) with exceptional brilliance and a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, so it handles everyday wear well. It also costs far less than a mined diamond of the same size, which leaves more of your budget for the setting. If you prefer a diamond, browse our lab-grown diamond rings.
The Old European cut is an antique round cut from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It has larger facets and a smaller table than a modern brilliant, which gives a softer, warmer sparkle. Our Old European cut rings bring that look to moissanite.
Milgrain is a row of tiny beads along the edge of a setting, a signature of antique jewelry. Filigree is fine, openwork metal detail, often in scrolls or lace-like patterns. Together, they give vintage rings their intricate look. Read our guide to milgrain, or shop milgrain rings and filigree rings.
Measure the finger you will wear the ring on in the evening, when fingers are at their largest, then match it to a size chart. Our international ring size chart converts between US, UK, and other standards.
