What Makes Us Special?

Georgian years: 1714-1837 the georgian era took place during the reigns of the four king georges of england and its jewelry is considered to be the most feminine. This was, after all, the time of marie antoinette and jane austen. "a bride with a sense of romance would be drawn to a georgian engagement ring," says clive kandel, jewelry consultant for 1stdibs. Com. Natural, floral, and ancient greco-roman motifs were popular during this era, while settings were mostly made out of gold or silver. Foil was often placed underneath the stones to reflect candlelight; this was a time before electricity—but jewelry makers were no less obsessed with light and how it passes through a stone.

Gold and platinum vintage engagement rings can be cared for in the same way as any other type of wedding ring or dress ring. Because gold and platinum don’t tarnish, a simple wipe with a soft cloth is all that’s needed to restore it to its original shine. You can also use specialist jewellery cleaners, but do bear in mind that if your engagement ring's vintage style includes precious stones, you need to be careful not to damage the gem. If in doubt, take it to a professional jeweller who will be able to clean it for you. Store your vintage engagement ring in a soft pouch when not worn.

Vintage engagement rings are perfect for the wearer who wants a bit of history with their bauble or who simply doesn't want to wear a ring that looks like everyone else's.

Gone are the days when a worn ring was not considered a good omen. The thinking has significantly changed over time.

Not only do diamond rings suffer unnoticeable to no damage over decades, but the rustic charm of worn rings is also something that actually adds value to it. Furthermore, vintage engagement rings are also made with rare precious metals.

A short era, lasting just 13 years (1901-1914) the edwardian period was extravagant and resplendent, much like the king of the time edward vii. Edward was a lover of luxury and this led to a revival of handcrafted jewellery using platinum and diamonds. The style of the time was delicate and filigree settings were popular. Pearls were more expensive than diamonds and a status symbol for higher society, and were often paired with diamonds to make ornate jewellery. Tiaras and short or long pearl necklaces were popular, as were longer more extravagant earrings and brooches. This era of extravagance ended at the beginning of world war i, though edward himself died four years earlier in 1910. An edwardian jade, diamond and pearl necklace, the necklace comprising a long chain with six old brilliant-cut diamond-set bow-shape motifs, with a pearl set on each centre, joined together with a chain, set with two pearls between each motif, suspending a rectangular carved jade plaque, set o
