Vintage Rings

"They don't make 'em like they used to" ... great phrase and it really applies to may

items we buy and use every day. It is certainly applicable to rings and jewelry in general.

When individuals or couples look for antique rings, including engagement rings today, they often consider vintage engagement rings instead of more contemporary jewelry.

Antique Rings = Symbols of Love

There's something about the timeless design of antique rings that will NEVER go out of style. Additionally, a unique vintage engagement ring with a mysterious history (or known history) is a real tangible representation of shared love and commitment that is guaranteed to help make your special wedding day so much more significant.

What to Think About Before Buying?

But there are many things to consider before you make a vintage ring purchase.

First and obviously most important is quality. You'll want to make certain the stones are in good condition and free of any blemishes or damage.
Fortunately, there are well established ways to make sure you are buying a quality stone that include professional evaluations from qualified jewelers.
Also, the clasps or prongs that hold these stones should be strong and secure. Because the ring will be worn constantly, it's important to find one that can withstand your day-to-day routine.
Remember that like any vintage item, an antique ring can be worked on by a qualified jeweler to insure that the prongs on the setting are secure or perform any other modifications you may desire.

Maintenance for Antique Rings

When shopping for vintage jewelry, keep in mind that what you find will most likely need to be cleaned to restore the piece to near-original condition. This, isn't that difficult. Depending on the type of metal and stone, you may be able to handle the process yourself. If you'd rather have a professional do it for you, most jewelry stores can clean a ring for a minimal charge. Routine maintenance, is something you most likely can perform yourself. For diamond rings, try using very mild toothpaste and a baby's toothbrush to scrub the diamonds. Be careful not to scrub the metal, whether it's gold or platinum, as this is likely to cause scratches. Instead, purchase a jeweler's polishing cloth to restore the luster of the band. Performing this routine maintenance will ensure your vintage engagement ring lasts for years to come.
