At Brilliant Earth we are crazy for vintage rings. Though it’s hard to pick favorites, we’ve rounded up seven especially stunning engagement rings from vintage periods spanning the Victorian era of the late 19th century to the Retro era of the mid-20th.
All of these vintage engagement rings have a distinctly antique allure but are timelessly beautiful enough to look just-right for this century. Take a look and let us know your favorite!
The Kalkora Ring
Geometric designs are characteristic of the chic Art Deco style, and the Kalkora Ring is a gorgeous example of the aesthetic. A dazzling old European cut diamond forms the centerpiece of the platinum ring, surrounded by twenty bezel set accent diamonds in a tiered pattern.
The Beverly Ring
Rings from the Art Nouveau era frequently feature curving, asymmetrical designs and this beauty is no exception. The Beverly Ring features a split shank setting that cradles a round cultured pearl. Two asymmetrically aligned old European cut diamonds along with ten rose cut accent diamonds along each shoulder add extra sparkle to this stunning ring.
The Maui Ring
A stunning old European cut diamond makes the perfect centerpiece for the Maui Ring. The twenty six diamonds surrounding the center and the detailing adorning the setting complete the Art Deco look.
The Inverness Ring
The Inverness Ring features surprise diamond accents encrusted in the setting along with intricate scrollwork highlighting the Art Deco glamour of this beautiful piece.
The Torrie Ring
With a bright blue natural sapphire surrounded by a halo of eleven old European cut diamonds, the Torrie Ring exudes Retro glamour with its floral motif.
The Brenn Ring
The Brenn Ring showcases a beautiful old European cut diamond accented by two channels of single cut diamonds.
The Clementina Ring
A gorgeous example of a quintessentially Edwardian design, the enchanting Clementina Ring features an old European cut diamond in a detailed 18K white gold setting.

I have a ring similar to the Aiken ring on my pinky- it was my great great grandmothers wedding ring. I LOVE it- love the romaticism look of it and the history behind it.
