Antique & Chic Engagement Rings

These gorgeous vintage rings offer romance, distinctive design and timeless beauty.

Buying vintage jewelry? Try these tips from partner Gus Davis of Camilla Dietz Bergeron, Ltd., a New York store of fine antique jewels.

Ask around. To find a reputable seller, look for a member of a trade association like Jewelers of America.
Go with your gut. When it comes to evaluating style, let your eyes and emotions guide you.
Pose Questions. Expect your salesperson to be knowledgeable about the piece’s era and country of origin.
Get a second opinion. You should be given the opportunity to take the ring to an independent appraiser to give you a value estimate. Look for a specialist in antique and estate jewelry.
Try it on. Rub your fingers across the prongs and try to wiggle the stone. Beware of worn prongs or a loose stone. —Lisa Bonarrigo
