Vintage Diamond Engagement Ring Settings

On these rings the diamond is positioned on a higher place, thus it is put in the spotlight, so to say. These ring settings are very simple, and because of this they expose the beauty of the diamond, not the ring itself.

For a teardrop cut diamond or a princess cut this is definitely the best ring setting. Wearing such a ring makes any hand more beautiful and feminine because of the brilliance and beautiful shine of the faceted diamond.

Antique ring settings are also very popular among the lovers of the retro and the vintage styles. In these settings the diamond is embedded into the silver, often surrounded by smaller diamonds. The ring itself is usually bigger and thicker, not as subtle as the diamond rings with solitaire setting. These rings might remind you on the rings of queens and princesses.

Side-stone settings are also beautiful, although more expensive. These have small diamonds in the setting beside the faceted, main diamond. They make the ring look brighter and more shiny, and of course they are also more fancy and elegant.

Sometimes there are just a couple of diamonds in the setting, while other times there are several. You might want to think twice before you buy such a thing because it tends to be very expensive.

The bezel-set solitaire setting is also a popular setting for vintage diamond engagement rings. On these rings the diamond is much more secure, surrounded on each side by the precious metal.

If you want to buy an authentic vintage ring that is many decades old, you should choose one with the bezel-set solitaire setting, because this way you can be sure that the stone won't fall out. You can find the best deals on Ebay.
