Classic Engagement Rings

Classic engagement rings tend to be simple, generally with one diamond set atop a plain band of platinum, white gold or yellow gold. While trends constantly change, these traditional engagement rings have never gone out of fashion.

Traditional engagement rings symbolise love and commitment. Acquiring antique or vintage classic engagement rings connects the wearer to the traditions of the past. The design of classic engagement rings will never fall out of favour, meaning they can be passed down the generations.

Diamonds are most commonly associated with traditional engagement rings, but they can also feature sapphires, rubies, or emeralds. Each gemstone holds its own symbolic meaning. 

While antique traditional engagement rings can be resized, we would recommend buying a ring as close as possible to your true size wherever possible. You should also take the ring to a professional jeweller specialising in vintage and antique jewellery to ensure that you are getting the best care for your ring. If in doubt - either about your own finger size, or how much a ring can be altered - please contact us for advice.

Like any piece of fine jewellery, traditional engagement rings will benefit from regular maintenance. It is recommended to have them professionally cleaned and inspected periodically to ensure the settings are secure. To clean your engagement ring use a soft bristled brush with warm soapy water.
