Why are vintage diamond and sapphire rings so popular?
I thought that the very first vintage diamond and sapphire ring I ever saw was the most beautiful combination of stones that I’d ever seen.
It had a Cabochon sapphire flanked by diamonds. I couldn’t stop staring at the ring.
My sister and I were looking for a ring for our dad’s birthday. As teenagers we had no idea how valuable the ring was. We were very upset that we couldn’t afford it. The price was just over $3000.00 and between us we had only $300.00. We bought dad a radio cassette player for his car.
Now our niece wants to get a sapphire and diamond ring for her husband as an anniversary gift. She is able to pay for a low end ring. She paid $4200.00.
If you are looking for a sapphire and diamond ring in a vintage style you need to decide what period you are looking for. Victorian, Art-Deco or the Retro-Modern which means a culturally outdated or aged style which has come to be functionally the norm.
Did you know that you have a choice of stone shape when you buy a ring? Choose round, oval, cushion, emerald, princess, radian, pear and marquise, heart and triton.
The price range for sapphire and diamond rings is from about $300.0 to more than $4000.00. There are man-made sapphires called created sapphires. These are less expensive than natural stones. Generally created stones are set in sterling and accented with diamonds. The price range for these rings range from about $30.00 and on up to a few hundred dollars.
I still feel that sapphire and diamond rings are some of the most beautiful gemstone combinations I have ever seen. Did you know that Britain’s Prince William gave his fiancée Kate Middleton his mother’s exquisite diamond and sapphire engagement ring. You can find the best deals on Ebay.
