A vintage diamond solitaire engagement ring is a difficult thing to qualify since it can refer to either style or the age of the ring itself. Fortunately, we offer both types of rings as you can see above. We have antique rings with a vintage look as well as modern rings designed to look like antique rings. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of each choice?

First let's begin with antique rings. Many people love the idea of getting an antique engagement ring. Some like them for their looks, some for their historic value and some because it is part of a family tradition. No matter why you like the idea of an antique engagement ring there are some good and bad points to consider.

In terms of the positive reasons of buying an antique ring uniqueness has to be right up there. Vintage diamond rings are unique on their own, but to get something truly special you have to buy one they don't make any more. The diamond jewelry business has changed a lot over the past century and what was once popular may now be out of fashion. This means your ring will really stand out from the crowd.

However, there are a few negative things to be aware of when looking at antique vintage diamond engagement rings. The main issue has to do with getting what you pay for. On the whole, antique rings don't come with a certificate proving you are getting what you are buying. This means you should probably have the ring inspected, after you have bought it to make sure you got what you paid for. Pay special attention to the setting because they may also have come loose over many years of wear and tear.

This leads us to the advantages of buying a modern vintage looking diamond solitaire engagement ring. With a new ring you can be sure that you are getting what you pay for, as long as you get a certificate from the GIA. Another major advantage has to do with the cut of the diamonds themselves. Modern rings may have a vintage look, but the diamonds will generally be cut to modern specifications. This usually means better clarity and color ratings, that will allow your gem to sparkle that little bit extra.

The major downside to buying a new rather than antique vintage ring has to do with originality. As vintage jewelry and clothing has become more popular, more companies have started to manufacturer them. This means that your ring may end up not looking as different as you once hoped. This problem is avoided with antique rings because on the whole we just can't make rings in the exact same way as before.

At the end of the day it all comes down to finding a ring you like the look of. That is why we have both types of vintage diamond solitaire engagement rings on our site. Have a look at our selection above and click on any ring you like the look of for more information. You will be glad you did.
