Vintage Engagement Ring

What other jewellery pieces complement a vintage engagement ring?

When styling your vintage engagement ring, you can either choose to wear similarly designed pieces or clash and contrast. By wearing classic-style stud earrings or gold bangles, you can enhance the ring's timeless charm. 

You can also bring your vintage engagement ring into the modern day with contemporary pieces. Try pairing your vintage engagement ring with minimalist bands or layered chains to keep up with modern jewellery trends. 

Can I personalise a vintage engagement ring with engravings?

As they did in days gone by, you can personalise a vintage engagement ring to send a special message. Our creative customisation options allow you to personalise your vintage engagement ring with our engraving service for example. You can have your vintage engagement ring engraved with a personal message or name, making it so much more memorable to its lucky wearer.

What are the most popular vintage engagement ring styles?

Certain movements in art and design lend themselves better than others to jewellery styles. These popular eras in design come back time and time again for a reason. 

Here at Camile and Stone, we find that these are the top-selling designs within our vintage engagement ring range:

• Art Deco: (1920-30s) The Art Deco style is known for its bold, geometric patterns and symmetrical designs. Pieces often feature vibrant gemstones and angular shapes.
• Victorian: (1837-1901) Rings from this era are characterised by their intricate designs, floral motifs and delicate filigree. Diamonds, pearls, and coloured gemstones were popular at the time.
• Edwardian: (1901-1915) Similarly to the Victorian era, rings from this time featured detailed designs and were very elegant and refined.
• Art Nouveau: (1890-1910) Rings inspired by this movement incorporate fluid, organic linework and include motifs from the natural world.

What materials are used in Camile and Stone UK’s vintage engagement rings?

Choose from vintage engagement rings in gold, silver, and rose gold varieties. Simply select your favourite precious metal when ordering your vintage engagement ring. All our jewellery collections, including our vintage engagement rings, are made with gold vermeil (18K gold on 925 silver) or sterling silver. 

Our pieces are designed in the Camile and Stone studio, based in Melbourne, Australia. We can therefore guarantee that our vintage engagement rings are not only exquisitely designed but can also withstand the rigours of modern life. 

How do I ensure I get the right vintage engagement ring size?

Avoid the inconvenience of having to exchange your vintage engagement ring for another size by using our ring sizer. This handy tool helps you quickly determine the right ring size for you or your loved one.

Our ring sizer works similarly to a belt. Just thread the end through the buckle to create a ring, and then fit it to the finger you wish to measure. We recommend that it fits snugly but can easily slide over the knuckle. The arrow on the buckle points to your ideal size, so there’s no need for guesswork. 

Is a vintage-inspired engagement ring better than a vintage engagement ring?

You might be wondering, what’s the difference? Well, vintage-inspired rings are the type of rings we sell. These rings are made by us in a vintage style. A vintage ring, on the other hand, is authentic from a specific time period.

The main thing to bear in mind with buying vintage rings is the quality. We can ensure that our vintage-inspired rings are made to a high standard. However, you can’t guarantee the same with a true vintage ring.

What makes a vintage engagement ring a good choice for proposals?

There are many different types of engagement rings out there. However, if you are seeking something a little different for a special proposal, a vintage engagement ring is the perfect choice. Opting for a ring that is not currently trending or in today’s style ensures that it will never go out of fashion. Therefore a vintage engagement ring is a uniquely timeless piece. 

What makes a Camile and Stone vintage engagement ring unique?

Camile and Stone vintage engagement rings are unique as we blend quality design, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship with vintage designs that jump straight out of the history books. What makes our jewellery-making differ from age-old practices is our adoption of more sustainable ways of working. We offer affordable vintage engagement rings without compromising on their beauty or quality. 

What’s more, our personalisation service allows you to customise your rings to create truly meaningful jewellery pieces. There’s nothing more unique than an initialled vintage engagement ring.

Are vintage engagement rings suitable for everyday wear?

Despite their antique appearance, our vintage engagement rings are strong and durable. All our jewellery, from wedding bands to chain necklaces, is designed to withstand daily wear and tear and the rigours of daily life.

We believe that our rings should be proudly worn every day and not hidden away in your jewellery box. So, we’ve made sure our jewellery is hard-wearing, well-crafted, and made from premium materials to ensure they last.

What are the care tips for looking after a vintage engagement ring?

As with our entire jewellery range, all rings are designed to be worn every day, and our vintage engagement rings are no exception. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn't take proper care of it. 

To ensure your vintage engagement ring shines throughout the ages, please follow these care guidelines:

• Remove before exercise: Delicately designed pieces may break during vigorous activities.
• Apply cosmetics first: Perfumes and hand lotions may damage gold-plated and sterling silver rings.
• Avoid moisture: Try not to expose your ring to water, including while showering, washing hands, or swimming, as this can cause tarnishing.
• Use anti-tarnish seal-proof pouches: Store your vintage engagement ring with the provided anti-tarnishing pouch to protect against moisture.
• Store properly: Keep your ring in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 
• Clean gently: Use only a soft polishing cloth to clean your ring.

Follow these top tips and your Camile and Stone vintage engagement ring will retain its shine for years to come.
