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 Becky Ring
Geometric designs are characteristic of the chic Art Deco style, and the Becky Ring is a gorgeous example of the aesthetic. A dazzling cushion cut diamond forms the centerpiece of the platinum ring, surrounded by single cut diamonds in a tiered pattern.
The Munro Ring
Rings from the Art Nouveau era frequently feature curving, asymmetrical designs and this beauty is no exception. The Munro Ring features a pearl and old European cut diamond.
The Embarcadero Ring
A stunning round brilliant cut diamond makes the perfect centerpiece for the Embarcadero Ring. The thirty four diamonds surrounding the center and the milgrain detailing adorning the setting complete the Edwardian look.
The Edyta Ring
The Edyta Ring features twenty eight surprise diamond accents encrusted in the gallery along with a stunning round brilliant center diamond.
The Esquivel Ring
With an oval-shaped amethyst surrounded by a halo of twelve opals, the Esquivel Ring exudes Retro glamour with its floral motif.
The Barsky Ring
The Barksy Ring showcases a beautiful brilliant cut diamond accented by two channels of single cut diamonds.
The Ola Ring
A gorgeous example of a quintessentially Edwardian design, the enchanting Ola Ring features a round brilliant 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.
