Vintage-style engagement rings are an excellent choice for the woman with refined taste. Purchasing a vintage-style ring reduces the risk and upkeep associated with an antique piece. Moreover, they give you the opportunity to create your own family history with your bride-to-be.
Tacori
Tacori jewelry’s art-deco style engagement rings are classically refined. The popular designer is known for offering distinctive touches such as lace-like bands that are reminiscent of crescent moons, and heirloom jewelry that offsets classic designs with modern flourishes.
Tacori’s Hand-Engraved Collection features stunning solitaire and three-stone rings. The Emerald Three-stone ring is a standout due to the large emerald-cut center flanked by two small emerald-cut diamonds. The stones are mounted on a hand-engraved platinum band. Another top choice is the solitaire diamond ring with a ribbon-twist band. The platinum-shank band features the designer’s distinct crescent silhouette diamonds, which sparkle beautifully in light.
Tacori engagement rings range from $3,000 to more than $10,000.
Scott Kay
“Never Compromise” is the credo for Scott Kay Bridal, and judging by their collection of vintage engagement rings, the designer pulls out all stops to create memorable pieces.
Scott Kay Bridal’s Crown Collection is fit for royalty. Rings in this collection feature raised diamond center stones, flanked by pave-set diamonds. The precious metal bands range from simplistic, beautiful finishes, to ornate bands with intricate designs.

The Luminaire Collection’s Halo Style Pave Diamond ring is a collection highlight. The stunning piece features a princess-cut center stone, surrounded by a halo of white diamonds. The engraved band shimmers with brilliant round diamonds and a “surprise diamond” underneath the diamond basket.

Simon G
Simon G’s innovative designs are known for adding a bit of pop to the wearer’s fingers. The designer is a top choice for vintage-style rings due to their use of precious metals such as platinum, 18K white, yellow or rose gold, as well as colored gem stones.
Simon G’s split-shank engagement rings are among the designer’s most appealing choices when you want to show off a larger stone. The openwork designs that adorn the band create the perfect backdrop to highlight the center diamond.
If you desire a fancy engagement ring, Simon G’s two-tone engagement rings fit the bill. The halo engagement ring features a mosaic center comprised of an emerald-cut diamond and 7 baguette-cut white diamonds. The center mosaic is framed by a halo of round brilliant-cut pink diamonds, and set on a white gold band studded with white and pink round diamonds. The two-tone engagement rings perfectly illustrate the designer’s use of color and they look elegant on the wearer’s hand.
