Vintage diamond eternity ring styles<\/h2>\n

There is something magical and beautiful about vintage styling when it comes to jewellery. Vintage diamond eternity rings don’t appear that often in jewellery collections. As a result, we regularly create bespoke examples\u2014crafted specifically for our clients. Recently, however, we introduced two brand new vintage diamond eternity rings into our collection.<\/p>\n

Both rings appearing above now feature on our website. They include\u00a0: –<\/p>\n

Milgrain eternity rings<\/h2>\n

But what is Milgrain?\u00a0Milgrain<\/a>\u00a0is a distinctive detail that features in many vintage designs. Small beads of raised metal follow along edges creating a uniform pattern on each side of the ring.\u00a0Rings featuring a\u00a0milgrain edge give jewellery less of a reflective finish, offering more subtle qualities. In contrast, the lower part of the band features a mirror polished finish.<\/p>\n

Vintage styled eternity rings with grain settings<\/h2>\n

Grain settings\u00a0work well for any vintage styled eternity rings. White diamonds grain set into white metal yielded textures\u00a0reminiscent of antique jewellery creations. Textures of\u00a0soft crepe de chine and pin-tucked lace. Some genuine antique eternity rings feature old-cut diamonds around the band<\/a>. Furthermore, most modern eternity rings, set with diamonds use modern round brilliant cut diamonds with 57 facets.<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/p>\n

Platinum vintage styled diamond eternity rings<\/h2>\n

Decadent antique eternity rings from the late 19th Century tend to be Platinum. Platinum remains the most luxurious of precious metals. It\u00a0wears over time to achieve a natural patina seen as desirable for genuine vintage diamond rings.<\/p>\n

The grey-white appearance of Platinum, adds a luxurious feel to an eternity ring.\u00a0 As a result, Platinum is very popular for eternity rings<\/a>. In addition, Platinum is a rigid metal, suitable for setting diamonds. Furthermore, it has hypoallergenic properties, perfect for sensitive skin.<\/p>\n

Today, vintage-styled eternity rings come in most precious metals. These include 950 Platinum, 18ct White Gold, 18ct Yellow Gold and 18ct Rose Gold. In addition, Fairtrade Gold provides a 100% ethical option.<\/p>\n

Vintage eternity rings with ribbons and bows<\/h2>\n

A key feature of vintage diamond eternity rings included the imitation of antique lace. For example, woven bands, ribbon twists and platted ring designs combine with rows of small diamonds.<\/p>\n

The necessity for a ring to fit around a setting gives jewellers the opportunity to deviate from a straight eternity band. As a result, interesting shaped eternity rings exist, working around awkward settings.<\/p>\n
