Cluster Vintage Engagement Rings

The cluster ring design is made up of several smaller gemstones set tightly together. While vintage cluster engagement rings are generally designed to have a larger stone in the centre, they can also be made up of many stones of the same sizes.

Cluster rings were once predominantly cocktail rings, particularly popular during the Art Deco period due to their bold designs. These days, vintage cluster engagement rings are very popular, perfect for those who want their engagement ring to truly sparkle or want a little more ‘coverage’ on their finger.

No, while some styles may look more dated than others, many vintage cluster engagement rings feel edgy and contemporary. Others are utterly timeless.

Cluster vintage engagement rings are ideal for those who don’t want a traditional solitaire, but still want something eye-catching. Many different gemstones can be incorporated within one design, making them ideal for anyone who’d like a dash of colour.

Vintage cluster engagement rings are available in a variety of shapes, though the most popular are either oval or round, like this Old Cut Diamond Daisy Cluster Ring, circa 1950.

A halo ring is a type of cluster ring; a halo cluster ring frames a large centre stone with a ring – or halo – of much smaller stones. Other styles of cluster rings use a framework of bigger stones, where every stone stands out clearly.
