Unique Engagement Rings

A unique vintage engagement ring allows you to express your individuality while retaining the elegance found only in antique jewellery. Your love-story is unique, so why not choose an engagement ring to match? 

Unique antique engagement rings possess a charm that sets them apart from conventional designs. These are rings which were either specially commissioned or created by a designer who was willing to take a risk. The character of unique engagement rings helps you to celebrate your love story in a way that allows you to stand out from the crowd, be that an unusual diamond engagement ring or one set with a coloured gemstone.  

A unique vintage engagement ring can be customised – by adding or removing accent diamonds, for example – but this may affect the durability of the piece. One of the main alterations we have been asked to make is to change one of the diamonds on a unique two stone engagement ring to a coloured stone. Whilst we are always happy to help, it’s worth bearing in mind that these alterations will impact on the value of your vintage unique engagement ring. 

The best gemstone for your unique gemstone engagement ring is entirely down to personal preference, though some do opt for gemstones with personal significance, such as birthstones or stones with some symbolic meaning. For example, diamonds are popular for engagements due to their association with strength, love and health. Rubies are associated with passion, protection and wealth, making them also a popular choice for vintage gemstone engagement rings. 

You can wear your vintage unique engagement ring everyday, but should remove the ring before partaking in an activity where the ring could be damaged, such as gardening or climbing. Have your unique engagement ring cleaned by professionals as needed. To clean the ring yourself, use a soft bristled brush with warm soapy water – do not use harsh chemicals. Unusual gold engagement rings are fine to submerge in water, but certain gems – opals, for example – mustn’t be. 

Your choice of unusual engagement ring should reflect your own individuality. Consider rings with distinctive gemstones, like unique sapphire engagement rings, or a diamond solitaire which has coloured accent stones. It’s also worth exploring rings with lesser used precious metals, such as unique white gold engagement rings, or rose gold. There are many quirky engagement rings on offer, so you’re sure to find the one.
