Our selection of luxury vintage rings for men and women
What luxury ring to choose?
A ring is chosen according to the occasion and the personality of the wearer. Some appreciate imposing models, others prefer sobriety and clean lines, but all admit a penchant for iconic rings. These best-sellers that have made the reputation of the great fashion houses, like the Nude ring by Pomellato or the Trinity wedding band by Cartier. These two pass the years without aging and are still must-have jewelry pieces to have in your jewelry box if you love legendary rings. But a ring is also chosen according to the hand that wears it. A signet ring for men symbolizes power, identifies the person, and conveys a message, like a wedding band signifying commitment, or the diamond solitaire that seals an engagement.
How to wear vintage designer rings?
Here too, two schools of thought clash. There are those who want to highlight a beautiful stone ring by wearing it alone, while others enjoy mixing styles. An antique diamond engagement ring can be worn with more contemporary designs. Combining modern and vintage jewelry makes an outfit stand out. A women's silver ring looks great next to a white and yellow gold Chanel ring. A 1930s ring, known as a cocktail ring, is characterized by its imposing size. This second-hand ring, traditionally worn on the right hand, can be paired with jeans and a scarf for an offbeat look or will highlight the timeless little black dress. For those who want to respect the codes, the men's signet ring is worn on the left ring finger like the men's wedding band. You can also slip it on the little finger to distinguish it from other luxury men's rings.
How to choose your vintage ring size?
The size of a vintage ring is chosen based on the circumference of the finger. Traditionally, a diamond wedding ring is worn on the ring finger. The size of a ring for women or men depends on the thickness of the band. If the thickness is significant, as is the case for a men's signet ring, a larger size should be taken to facilitate the passage of the knuckles. In the past, it was customary to pass down jewelry from generation to generation. This tradition required some adjustments.
Why choose a vintage designer ring?
A vintage fine jewelry ring never depreciates. A vintage Buccellati ring or Cartier engagement ring remains intact. Time has no effect on them. Rings from major brands require techniques that are perpetuated in jewelry workshops. Designers from major fashion houses have left their mark on collections, inspired by the trends of their time. This is the charm of a "you and me" diamond ring for women mounted in the traditional style or an Art Deco ring. Each piece is original because of its own story. Custom-made, a jewelry ring becomes unique.
