Buying a Vintage diamond ring in the correct finger size


Use our handy ring sizer to ensure the perfect finger size for your vintage ring. This is especially important when rings feature diamond shoulders, size adjustments may not be possible.

Furthermore, size adjustments can disturb shoulder settings. For this reason, we recommend our finger-size tool. Firstly order the tool online.

Next, check your finger size. Finally, place your order and receive a refund back for the sizer. For many clients organising a surprise proposal, we help with resizing once the ring has arrived.

Victorian styling details include elegant milgrain edges. In addition to floral motifs, such as flower styles hidden within the engagement ring setting. In addition, bold, decadent shapes, such as the fan. As an example of this detail, the Deco ring shows a stunning example.

Edwardian Period engagement rings feature fine lace work copied in precious metal. White diamonds in Platinum remain faithful to Edwardian-era jewellery. Furthermore, they are replicated today. We hope many of the following designs give a welcome vintage choice for designs inspired by Antiquity.

Victorian engagement rings


Vintage diamonds give authenticity to a vintage setting. For example, Old Cut diamonds, European Cut Diamond, Old Mine Cut diamonds, Asscher Cuts and Cushion Cuts. These styles of diamonds are predominantly from the Victorian era as this was common practice in diamond cutting.

In the modern day, the old-cut diamond works perfectly for a victorian engagement ring. We gladly source vintage diamond cuts for any of our regular or bespoke ring styles.  Many designs from our vintage ring collection take inspiration from the Victorian era. 


With styles including milgrain edging, gemstone bespoke designs, and grain set diamond shoulders or halos. One of our most popular Victorian engagement ring examples comes from our Balmoral engagement ring. Taking inspiration from Queen Elizabeth II's engagement ring which is set with a 3ct Old European cut round diamond. With the addition of distinctive triangular shoulders, incorporating a Art Deco period finish. 

Bespoke vintage ring designs


We create any bespoke vintage ring in your chosen precious metal. For example, Platinum, White Gold, Yellow Gold and Rose Gold. Choose from any vintage ring style, including Vintage diamond halo settings. For example, the double halo setting below is styled with a vintage Cushion cut diamond.

In addition to the many diamond options on offer, gemstones also create a vintage feel. From the unusual opal, to the red ruby.

By creating a bespoke design the possibilities are endless, and while some clients prefer to create a complete vintage style engagement ring. Many clients also choose to have a vintage twist on a modern feeling ring style. Furthermore, there are many options available when it comes to creating a Victorian wedding ring to match. 


Perhaps you already have an ornate classical-style ring design and can't find a wedding ring to sit alongside. By crafting a bespoke Victorian-style wedding ring each shaping and curve can perfectly entwine.

Victorian ring mounts and settings


Clients whom have inherited diamonds or gemstones may well be lucky enough to have an old-cut diamond. Due to their rarity and unique look, we strongly suggest to clients to provide a new lease of life and have them reset into a design that can then be treasured for a lifetime.

An additional example below was from a client who wanted to incorporate her grandmothers' opal gemstone in her engagement ring. Crafted by bespoke design, crafted in luxurious 950 Platinum surrounded by a halo of old cut diamonds.

Generally, for old-cut diamonds, this does need to be created by crafting the head/setting via CAD. This is due to the unusual shape and measurements of old cut diamonds they are normally smaller compared to the round brilliant. 

Contact our team if you are looking to upgrade your inherited diamond ring.

Birthstone rings

During the Victorian era, many vintage engagement rings featured the Bride to be's birthstone. Interestingly, this still very much remains the case with many clients either opting for a 'cluster' or even a ' Raindance inspired' design set with loved birthstones.
