Vintage Engagement Rings Styles
Contemporary diamond suppliers recreate diamonds from many eras, but most often from the Victorian to Mid-Century Modern eras. Victorian and Edwardian rings are both intricate. Decorated with exquisite foliage and floral patterns, Victorian rings are often large statement pieces that feature eye-catching details. Edwardian rings return to a more refined and graceful style, but still feature stunning lace-like designs. Reflecting the roaring twenties, Art Deco rings are highly geometric. Symmetry was a staple of the Art Deco aesthetic, and the large rings nearly always reflect that. Mid-century Modern designs moved away from geometric shapes and toward more fluid designs. Engagement rings of this era began to feature many more diamonds, and bold designs were en vogue.
