Antique Wedding Rings, a Very Special and Affordable Option

Antique wedding rings are not only beautiful and allluring with their classic style and historical past, but can also be a very affordable option. Often one can acquire a higher quality stone in an antique or vintage diamond ring for the same price or less than a ring purchased on the market today.  White gold and platinum became popular by the end of the 20's and these designs are often copied by modern day jewelry designers.  Diamonds found in these vintage rings often have so much sparkle and life and you can find alluring antique faceting that is unlike any modern day engagement ring.  The styling of these antique rings often have intricate detailing and/or classic lines that will never go out of style.  If you or a friend is in the market for a wedding ring, here is a newly acquired ring to the online catalog, a vintage wedding ring in 18K white gold listed for under $600.  Available at http://www.your-antique-jewelry.com/ , Art Deco 18K white gold and diamonds wedding ring, $595. http://awantiquejewelry.ecrater.com/p/10419534/vintage-art-deco-diamond-wedding . 

Sapphire as a Choice for a Wedding Ring

The sapphire has become so popular as an alternate for a wedding ring. It has wonderful durability and stunning coloration for everyday wear. Antique examples like this one that I just posted to the online catalog are especially alluring.  The intricate handmade settings offer antique style that one just does not see in rings today.  Sapphires come in a range of natural colors, but it seems that blue is the most popular choice for wedding ring selections.  Blue sapphires range from midnight blue (almost black) to light ceylon blue selections.  Like diamonds, sapphires have clarity factors that affect the overall appearance of the gemstone.  The fewer the inclusions, the clearer the stone and the more valuable they become.  Because they are so durable, one does not have to worry about wearing them daily.    This example seen on the left is a gorgeous ceylon blue sapphire set in an Art Deco Era yellow gold filigree setting.  You can find more details about this ring at http://awantiquejewelry.ecrater.com/p/10386984/antique-sapphire-ring-vintage-victorian .  Photo:  Antique Sapphire Wedding Ring, exclusively at http://www.your-antique-jewelry.com/ , $1,250.
