Recently someone asked me where could he find a vintage emerald ring.
He wanted to give this ring to his girlfriend for their anniversary, and he was really set on finding one with a beautiful emerald because this was her favorite gemstone. Vintage rings are usually harder to find than modern ones, but if you have enough patience you can find some eventually.
Emerald rings are beautifully faceted and have an irresistible, exotic color. The deep green blue of the seas is a favorite of many people, and fortunately this means that there are also a lot of rings decorated with emeralds out there.
Emerald is the May birthstone, therefore it can be a great present for those born in this beautiful month. They are also great as engagement rings, since many of these vintage emerald rings are decorated with small diamonds or two bigger ones on each side of the emerald.
Vintage emerald rings are more elegant and romantic looking than the rest of the rings you can find on the market. Depending on the age they were made in they can have a smaller or a bigger emerald, and they can look simple or very fancy. For example emerald rings that were inspired by the Edwardian style usually have quite big gemstones and they are even often decorated with engravings. Filigree rings and floral patterns are also very common.
I told my friend that if he really wants a beautiful blue vintage emerald ring he should first look in an antique store and then online. It might be easier to get something cheap online but if you can see the ring before you buy it you can make sure that it has no flaws. Old rings can show signs of time and this is why it is always better to buy a very old piece of jewelry from shops. You can find the best deals on Ebay.
