Most women dream of their diamond engagement rings and everything about them, from the stone to the setting to the proposal itself. Some women are incredibly picky and want a specific ring with a specific number of diamonds and will settle for nothing less than exactly what they want. However, men sometimes are given a ring from their parents or grandparents and are expected to use them when they propose to their fiances-to-be and thus cannot always fulfill their beloved's wishes at that point in time. These antique rings - usually a diamond engagement ring - are perfectly acceptable alternatives to a brand new ring.
Heirloom diamond rings are almost always a diamond ring passed along numerous generations. Often, there are a large number of stories surrounding the ring, which makes this diamond engagement ring an item with significant sentimental item, in addition to being a valuable heirloom. In addition, using this ring may actually be preferable in comparison to a new diamond engagement ring as giving such an item that has such value to a bride is actually the ultimate way to show acceptance of the new bride to the groom's family since she is being entrusted with an heirloom. Aside for this, there is a financial advantage - there is no need to purchase a new ring and the groom can save his money for a nicer wedding ring or an anniversary ring or gift that would otherwise be outside his financial means.
In addition to this, an heirloom diamond engagement ring may be able to be altered to a degree, such as having the diamonds set differently or refitted to fit the bride's finger. These are rather inexpensive adjustments that the groom could pay for since he does not have to purchase a new ring that may cost several thousand dollars. However, these are not the only antique diamond engagement rings available, other rings that are not heirlooms can be used as well.
Antique engagement rings, such as those that may be found in a pawn shop or in special collections, are a great option for a ring, especially if the bride-to-be is rather old fashioned and is nostalgic of past eras. In this case, a ring from a previous century or even several decades would be a great way to make the bride feel like she is living in a different time. In addition, one of the most unique things about these engagement rings is that even if there are different rings, they often have other gemstones set around one large diamond or are one large gemstone surrounded by smaller diamonds, which makes these rings rather unique.
In terms of the eras from which antique diamond engagement rings come from, that depends on the stock available and what can be in found in jewelry stores and pawn shops. The most common antique rings come from the Edwardian and Art Deco Periods, which is essentially from the first three decades of the previous century. Like the heirloom rings, antique rings can also be more affordable, simply because they are not in fashion and the diamonds may not be of the quality that would appear in a new ring, even if the diamond engagement ring simply need to be cleaned thoroughly. However, the current trend is that antique rings tend to be more expensive because they usually have larger diamonds in them.
