Vintage Engagement Rings for Most Discerning Brides

Vintage engagement rings are currently the most popular designs for rings. Whether they’re inspired by Art Deco, Edwardian or Victorian designs, they seem to have found a stable perch in the hearts of many brides-to-be. But what exactly is a vintage engagement ring? What is an antique-style engagement ring? If these terms have you confused, here is a simple guide to help you understand the differences, and ensure you receive the ring of your dreams, no matter what year of make or era of inspiration suits you best.

The Meaning of Vintage

 Vintage is a surprisingly broad term. Conventionally, it means the year a product or item is made. You usually see it in reference to wines, with vintages referencing the year the beverage was produced. More commonly, vintage is used to describe anything old that is popular again, such as 80s fashion. While some people may argue that vintage refers to anything at least 50 years old, it’s certainly not universally used that way. In fact, a retailer can label something vintage that was made last season, and he wouldn’t be mistaken. If you like something that’s a few years old and labeled vintage, don’t let that stop you from enjoying it or buying it. It simply helps you make an informed decision.

The Meaning of Antique

On the other hand, antique has a very specific defined meaning. Anything that’s at least 100 years old falls into the category of antique. Antique items, whether they’re rings, furniture or clothing, are highly sought after, rare and expensive. They’re so highly coveted because they are a direct link to the past, and they have a romantic appeal and a traceable history that’s unique. Any jeweler or retailer selling authentic antique items should have proof of its origins and age. Without this, it’s unlikely to be true.

The Meaning of Antique-Inspired

When most couples search for antique engagement rings, they’re actually seeking out antique-style rings. What’s the difference? An antique-style ring is newly made but designed to look like a vintage piece. Sometimes manufactured as a collection and sometimes custom made, these “inspired by” designs look just like the beautiful jewels from the 17^th, 18^th and 19^th centuries, except the materials are all new. This not only makes them much more affordable, they’re far more customize-able for a completely unique ring. Ziva is happy to provide a broad selection of antique-inspired engagement rings and can custom make a piece for you too.
