You know that our present is affected by our past, sometimes more, sometimes less, but it happens. Because memories make and break everything. 

The modern fashion that is going on in the world of jewelry also has roots of the past somewhere behind it. Many such seeds were sown, which have emerged as big trees, and those trees are still showing their effect. That means many jewelry styles that have taken birth in the past are still used to make beautiful and unique proposal rings today. Now let's discuss which are such ancient styles that are being used to draw inspiration in making engagement rings according to the tastes of today's modern couples.

Unique Types of Vintage Engagement Rings

The styles that inspire modern designers to create vintage-inspired engagement rings and wedding bands began in the 18th century and lasted until the mid-20th century. Let's understand all in chronological order:

Georgian Style Vintage Engagement Ring

Georgian rings were mostly made with designs inspired by nature, such as motifs, birds, flowers, and butterflies. It used to have a fine variety of metalwork, mostly rose-cut diamonds. Colored gems in this type of jewelry usually did not appear.

Victorian Era Vintage Engagement Ring

The Victorian ring style dates back to Queen Victoria's time, and the Queen loved wearing this type of ring. Unlike Georgian design, this style saw more use of colored gemstones such as opals, pearls, garnets, and rubies. This is the jewelry that introduced the round-cut diamond shape, which is also known as the old mine cushion diamond. The Victorian era mostly produced finely crafted jewelry such as cluster rings.

Edwardian Era Vintage Engagement Ring

Edwardian rings are mostly made by using filigree work, which was made of fine wire work and had a very beautiful design. The Edwardian era saw the use of platinum in jewelry. It took special care of both diamonds and colored gemstones, as seen in the 'Toi a Moi' rings.

Art Nouveau Type Vintage Engagement Ring

The Art Nouveau ring mostly shows the influence of nature and is known as an unusual engagement ring from the vintage era. Enamel work is also used a lot in this type of fingering. Also, the less traditional gemstones are seen to be used here. In this, more attention is paid to art skills than mass production. Kundan jewelry of Indian style is made by being influenced by this style.

Art Deco Vintage Engagement Ring

Art Deco rings show the influence of geometric design, with bold colors and innovative diamond cuts such as emerald, asher, and marquise. Along with this, platinum and gold used to be the first choice as metals, which were often decorated with enamel of suitable contrasting color.

Retro Style Engagement Ring

The retro era was the period when the use of big gems started increasing. Three-dimensional ring designs and solitaire diamonds using large gems began to be made, mostly using colorful gems such as aquamarine. Yellow gold and rose gold were often taken as metals.

Mid-Century Modern Engagement Ring

Sleek, minimalistic designs that focus on simplicity and functionality. Often colorful gems and innovative techniques are used. The mixing of geometric shapes is done with a refreshing, modern approach in which simple design is preferred, moving away from complex decor.

How Vintage Style Engagement Rings Are Made in the Modern Era

It is important to know that there is as much difference between vintage engagement ring style and ancient inspired ring style as the sky and the ground. Yes, the two words sound similar, but there are many differences. What we call a classic promise ring today used to be modern in those days, but in today's era it cannot be called modern. And even if in some way you wear a real vintage ring, it may not suit your outfit. So, instead of a vintage ring, wear a vintage-style inspired ring. 

Taking an inspiration 

Getting inspiration from different vintage-style jewelry according to customers' needs.

Mixing up elements

Sometimes taking elements from multiple styles, like filigree from Edwardian, and creating geometric shapes as in art deco.

Adding a modern touch

To add a modern touch, modern jewelry designers add different colorful gemstones with different fancy shapes.

Increase precision using CAD

A product is used to have more perfection and precise connection between elements that is added by using advanced software like Jewel CAD. 

Adding more luster 

In the presence of modern techniques and tools like Rhodium plating in a modern time, the final product tends to be more lustrous, which is vintage yet modern-looking.
