Shopping for the Right Vintage Engagement Ring


Shopping for an engagement ring is a very exciting time in any relationship. Whether the groom-to-be is shopping alone or has taken along his bride-to-be, it is important that he be well informed about the wide variety of engagement rings available prior to making a purchase. Today, many young couples are purchasing vintage engagement rings. In recent years, antique and vintage engagement rings have become quite popular.

Undeniably Popular for Statements of Love

When inquiring about estate or vintage engagement rings, realize that this category refers to anything less than fifty years old. It many even refer to a used ring that was bought only one year ago. When discussing a vintage engagement ring, the term "vintage" is often a term used as a catchall that really means "old ring".

Antique and vintage engagement rings are popular for many reasons; they are generally less expensive, well constructed, and once purchased they become an instant heirloom. These facts alone make the antique and vintage engagement rings an easy sell for most young couples that are just starting out and building a new future together. The idea of creating an heirloom for their future family increases the emotional value of the ring and the shopping experience.

Currently, the art deco style of engagement rings, made during the 1920-30's is the most popularly purchased vintage engagement ring. Antiques rings from this time period reflect the geometric fashion trend that was so popular during this time in history. It is not uncommon to find vintage engagement rings that copy this bold style because it is still a popular fashion choice today. The distinction between antique and vintage art deco rings is that the antique was made during that time period where as a vintage ring is more likely a copy of that fashion statement.

Always Know What You Are Buying Before You Lay Your Money Down

When buying an antique or vintage engagement ring, always review any written description and gemologist reports thoroughly. Since antique and vintage engagement rings are often found in places such as estate sales, pawn shops, online auctions and antique stores and jewelers; you want to insure that you know all there is about any ring before you buy it.

Make sure that the seller of the ring is able to provide you with a detailed description of the vintage engagement ring including the 4-C's of jewelry: color, cut, carat and clarity. These aspects of the ring need to be clearly addressed in the written document. It is also very important that the age of the ring, ring size, and current condition of the ring be mentioned in any written document. If it is at all possible, obtain a copy of the gemologist report as well.

Prior to payment, it is a good idea to establish what type of return policy the seller offers in case a problem should materialize with the ring. You want to make sure that your purchase is covered financially.

As you begin to shop for your engagement ring, remember that this is a very important symbol of your love and marriage vows. So, purchase the ring you fall in love with but be intelligent about the business aspect about the sale. Hopefully, this is the one ring you will wear for the rest of your life; make sure it will stand the test of time.

Shopping For Unique Engagement Rings


Engagement rings symbolize true love and commitment. So when you are picking out an engagement ring for that special someone, you will want it to be the perfect ring. The perfect ring is one that not only fits the personality of your girlfriend, but is also unique. Unique engagement rings are a wonderful way to express your love because it tells her that she is unlike anyone else and that is why you have chosen her to spend your life with. There are a number of ways to customize engagement rings to make them truly unique. For example, rather than going with regular clear diamonds, you could get them in pink, yellow, or even blue. Some people choose to forego the diamonds altogether and get other types of gems put in the unique engagement rings.

Another way to help your bride-to-be's engagement ring stand out is to do an atypical setting for the diamond or gem. Rather than having the main gem raised, have it inlaid in a nice way. If you want the gem or diamond to stand out, you could choose to have a gallery setting so that everyone will go wild over the ring. Having a pendant or something dangling from the unique engagement ring will really set it apart from other rings.

If your girlfriend loves the classic look of engagement rings, you can still have one for her that is unique by getting a vintage ring. If you look at antique shops, auctions, flea markets, or search online you can find rings from the 1940's up till the 1970's that make really unique engagement rings. Your girlfriend will love feeling elegant with a ring like the one that Jacqueline Kennedy wore. You may even want to talk with your mother to see if there is a family heirloom that you could use.

Other ways to make your ring a unique engagement ring is to have it customized by getting something engraved on it. You could do just a nice band with a message engraved around the outside of the ring, include a diamond and have a message on the back, or have something written on the inside of the ring so that it is secret to you and your future bride. When it comes to getting unique engagement rings engraved, the possibilities are endless if you really take the time and get creative.

Whenever you decide to look at unique engagement rings for your true love, make sure that it is something that she would really enjoy. I recommend that if you find something you like, you ask her friends and family what they think about the ring before purchasing it. That way you can have enough perspective to make the perfect selection.

Cheap Engagement Rings - Tips for Wise Engagement Ring Shopping


Looking for cheap engagement rings? It can be a wise decision. The ring is the first ever-lasting symbol of the union of the couple in matrimony.

It symbolizes love, commitment, faithfulness, a promise of a marriage. It stands as the hopeful wanting of the couple to be together forever. Rings are very important part of matrimony. They are, in a way, what bind the two people together. Both the engagement and the wedding rings play important symbolic items in the relationship of a couple. The rings on the third finger of both the fiancee and her husband also show how they both belong to one another. This is why every couple takes the time to pick and choose their desired wedding bands, it's because while things may change and days may pass, the rings will forever symbolize their union.

Looking for cheap engagement rings:

You are probably thinking that searching for cheap engagement rings will be less of importance. This does not necessarily mean that the ring have to be very expensive, though. While it may be true that expensive rings could mean so much more because of the willingness of the couple to spend for the ceremony, it is also important to be mindful of your budget. The ring might be an important part of the marriage, but what will count so much more is the thought the love that has been put into the relationship. There are ways of getting cheap engagement rings, and I mean the design you want in a better price.

Where to buy a ring (and where not to):

Local jewelry shops would definitely price their rings high especially the one which is fairly popular for their brand name they don't want people who are looking for cheap engagement rings to enter, they want to brand themselves as quality and quality means expensive. It is important, first, that the couple realize the various other niceties that they will have to spend on for the wedding. It may be unwise for them to spend too much on the engagement ring, without realizing that they still have a whole ceremony to pay for. Budgeting is the wisest move that all soon-to-be-married couples should do and looking for cheap engagement ring is a wise thing to do. Commonly, the guy is the one who shops for the engagement ring for his proposal. He must first understand how jewelry shops price their rings; this is the key to getting cheap engagement rings.

The price of the ring:

The price of a ring will depend on the material from which it was made from. Gold bands tend to be much pricier than silver bands. The price would soar higher if you add in a couple of stones to it. The more expensive rings are made from very high quality material like gold, and finely cut diamonds. If you are within a tight budget you might want to stay away from them, and just stick with a simple yet still charming engagement band. Shopping for cheap engagement ring requires proper planning - budget, the design you like and get ready to lower you expectations when it comes to diamonds. Perhaps, you could also find a lower quality diamond so as to cut on the price too. The quality of the materials dramatically affects the price of the rings.

You can, of course, still find quality rings which are priced very considerably in online stores and direct manufacturers where there is no overhead price. I believe that the best places to search when looking for cheap engagement rings is online because they got the best prices (no overheads) and good service. Scouring online shops is a convenient way of finding good quality rings within a very good budget category. They rings are of good quality, yet at very low prices because there is no added distributor or brand fee.

Just because the ring is not very expensive, does not qualify it to be of bad quality. Cheap engagement rings can look similar to expensive rings if you shop wisely. There are many other options for those couple cutting on their budget. One just has to be smart when comparing prices and quality.

Engagement Ring Shopping - How to Find Your Ring Style


The diamond engagement ring you choose says more about you than you might realize. If you insist on a 5-carat emerald cut center diamond, you could be telling the world that money is pretty important to you and size does matter. A woman who wears a one-carat diamond solitaire is possibly somewhat conservative and traditional. And a platinum open-shank band with an oval diamond might be worn on a woman who likes to do things in unconventional ways.

If you're not sure what type of engagement ring you see yourself wearing, these style descriptions might help point you in the right direction:

Classic Ring Style:

The classic woman has a closet full of elegant staples in neutral colors from stores like The Gap, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor and Calvin Klein. You might carry a Coach handbag and favor a strand of pearls or a simple pendant in gold or platinum. Consder an engagement ring with the center diamond accented with channel set diamonds or bar set diamonds, or go with the perennial classic platinum or gold solitaire. Scott Kay, A. Jaffe, Tacori and Jeff Cooper offer classic styles in their designer engagement ring collections.

Vintage Ring Style:

Breakfast at Tiffany's movie star Audrey Hepburn wore an understated eternity band with diamonds as the symbol of her engagement and marriage to her husband. No Doubt's female lead and L.A.M.B. clothing and shoe designer Gwen Stefani said "I Do" to a unique vintage engagement ring from fellow rock star Gavin Rossdale. Vintage can conjure up images of thrift store shops and funky hairstyles but it also represents some of the loveliest, most romantic jewelry designs, including halo diamond engagement rings, micropave, milgraine and gorgeous and intricate side diamond details. Designers Simon G., Ritani, Tacori, Verragio, Michael M., Bridget and Memoire have hundreds of styles with these details.

Modern Ring Style:

You usually choose to do the exact opposite of what is currently popular or in style. Friends look to you for fashion advice and no one really expects you to wear a traditional princess ballgown-style wedding dress when you walk down the aisle. (But you might surprise everyone and do it for the shock value.) You love architecture and visit art galleries on weekends just for fun. If you don't decide to work with an artisan to design your engagement ring, you'll possibly pick a style with sleek channel set diamonds or baguettes that suggest a modern flair. Then again, you could go with a round or radiant diamond tension-set in a stunningly wide band of metal. Coast, Jeff Cooper, Scott Kay, Tacori, and Memoire are a few designers with modern ring styles.

Most brides-to-be desire a unique ring that fits their personality, their lifestyle, and of course their budget. Be sure to shop before the engagement to get an idea of how the different styles look and feel on your hand. It's okay to look online and in magazines, but before you buy visit stores that specialize in engagement rings and offer the diamonds loose, so you can personally inspect the diamond that you'll wear forever.

Shopping For Men's Jewelry


Tacori jewelry is synonymous with first rate custom jewelry design that combines time-honored tradition with cutting-edge, space-age materials and techniques. Whether you are seeking a set of tungsten carbide wedding rings, palladium wedding bands or men's jewelry, there are none finer in terms of quality than Tacori rings - and the story of Tacori jewelry is almost as fascinating.

The Odyssey of Haig Tacorian

Armenia, a small Christian nation located in the middle of the Islamic world, has had a long and tragic history; like that of the Jews, the Armenian Diaspora has resulted in the migration of these remarkable people to nearly every place on Earth.

Some Armenians, fleeing the genocidal war waged upon them by the Ottoman Empire in 1915, wound up in Eastern European countries like Romania. Haig Tacorian, whose family is now famous for custom jewelry design, escaped from that country with his family when that country was under the boot heel of the murderous fascist dictator Nicolae Ceau_escu in the 1970s.

Young Tacorian enrolled in college in the U.S. 1975, working his way through as a part-time jewelry salesman. Before long, Haig Tacorian realized he was making more money each week than his father earned a month. The rest, as they say, is custom jewelry design history...

Tacori Jewelry Today

Tacori jewelry is perhaps the most coveted on the market today. Blending the old and the new with materials like tungsten-carbide and palladium and design based on the post-Victorian elegance of Edwardian England and the clean, industrial-inspired Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 30s, Tacori engagement rings and palladium wedding bands are among the finest bridal sets available.

Tacori engagement rings as well as bridal and wedding sets are sold as semi-mounts. Essentially, Tacori sets all the side stones and smaller accent gemstones, but does not mount a center stone (such as a diamond) until the ring has been purchased. This means that when you purchase (for example) a set of their fine tungsten carbide wedding rings, the choice of center stone is yours!

Men's jewelry at Tacori is limited at present to wedding sets; traditional men's jewelry such as cufflinks and shirt studs does not appear in the current Tacori jewelry catalogue. If you are planning a proposal and subsequent wedding however, consider Tacori jewelry for value, style and durability.

Shopping For Men's Jewelry

Tacori Jewelry Today

Tacori jewelry is perhaps the most coveted on the market today. Blending the old and the new with materials like tungsten-carbide and palladium and design based on the post-Victorian elegance of Edwardian England and the clean, industrial-inspired Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 30s, Tacori engagement rings and palladium wedding bands are among the finest bridal sets available.

Tacori engagement rings as well as bridal and wedding sets are sold as semi-mounts. Essentially, Tacori sets all the side stones and smaller accent gemstones, but does not mount a center stone (such as a diamond) until the ring has been purchased. This means that when you purchase (for example) a set of their fine tungsten carbide wedding rings, the choice of center stone is yours!

Men's jewelry at Tacori is limited at present to wedding sets; traditional men's jewelry such as cufflinks and shirt studs does not appear in the current Tacori jewelry catalogue. If you are planning a proposal and subsequent wedding however, consider Tacori jewelry for value, style and durability.

Engagement Ring Shopping - How to Find Your Ring Style


The diamond engagement ring you choose says more about you than you might realize. If you insist on a 5-carat emerald cut center diamond, you could be telling the world that money is pretty important to you and size does matter. A woman who wears a one-carat diamond solitaire is possibly somewhat conservative and traditional. And a platinum open-shank band with an oval diamond might be worn on a woman who likes to do things in unconventional ways.

If you're not sure what type of engagement ring you see yourself wearing, these style descriptions might help point you in the right direction:

Classic Ring Style:

The classic woman has a closet full of elegant staples in neutral colors from stores like The Gap, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor and Calvin Klein. You might carry a Coach handbag and favor a strand of pearls or a simple pendant in gold or platinum. Consder an engagement ring with the center diamond accented with channel set diamonds or bar set diamonds, or go with the perennial classic platinum or gold solitaire. Scott Kay, A. Jaffe, Tacori and Jeff Cooper offer classic styles in their designer engagement ring collections.

Vintage Ring Style:

Breakfast at Tiffany's movie star Audrey Hepburn wore an understated eternity band with diamonds as the symbol of her engagement and marriage to her husband. No Doubt's female lead and L.A.M.B. clothing and shoe designer Gwen Stefani said "I Do" to a unique vintage engagement ring from fellow rock star Gavin Rossdale. Vintage can conjure up images of thrift store shops and funky hairstyles but it also represents some of the loveliest, most romantic jewelry designs, including halo diamond engagement rings, micropave, milgraine and gorgeous and intricate side diamond details. Designers Simon G., Ritani, Tacori, Verragio, Michael M., Bridget and Memoire have hundreds of styles with these details.

Modern Ring Style:

You usually choose to do the exact opposite of what is currently popular or in style. Friends look to you for fashion advice and no one really expects you to wear a traditional princess ballgown-style wedding dress when you walk down the aisle. (But you might surprise everyone and do it for the shock value.) You love architecture and visit art galleries on weekends just for fun. If you don't decide to work with an artisan to design your engagement ring, you'll possibly pick a style with sleek channel set diamonds or baguettes that suggest a modern flair. Then again, you could go with a round or radiant diamond tension-set in a stunningly wide band of metal. Coast, Jeff Cooper, Scott Kay, Tacori, and Memoire are a few designers with modern ring styles.

Most brides-to-be desire a unique ring that fits their personality, their lifestyle, and of course their budget. Be sure to shop before the engagement to get an idea of how the different styles look and feel on your hand. It's okay to look online and in magazines, but before you buy visit stores that specialize in engagement rings and offer the diamonds loose, so you can personally inspect the diamond that you'll wear forever.

Shopping For Men's Jewelry


Tacori jewelry is synonymous with first rate custom jewelry design that combines time-honored tradition with cutting-edge, space-age materials and techniques. Whether you are seeking a set of tungsten carbide wedding rings, palladium wedding bands or men's jewelry, there are none finer in terms of quality than Tacori rings - and the story of Tacori jewelry is almost as fascinating.

The Odyssey of Haig Tacorian

Armenia, a small Christian nation located in the middle of the Islamic world, has had a long and tragic history; like that of the Jews, the Armenian Diaspora has resulted in the migration of these remarkable people to nearly every place on Earth.

Some Armenians, fleeing the genocidal war waged upon them by the Ottoman Empire in 1915, wound up in Eastern European countries like Romania. Haig Tacorian, whose family is now famous for custom jewelry design, escaped from that country with his family when that country was under the boot heel of the murderous fascist dictator Nicolae Ceau_escu in the 1970s.

Young Tacorian enrolled in college in the U.S. 1975, working his way through as a part-time jewelry salesman. Before long, Haig Tacorian realized he was making more money each week than his father earned a month. The rest, as they say, is custom jewelry design history...

Engagement Rings - Shopping For a Nice Pair


One of the most memorable events to lovers is their engagement day. Most engagements are associated with giving of engagement rings whether they are in the engagement party or at a simple dinner date. Diamond engagement rings are the most desired among women. We cannot deny that most women love diamonds in their jewelry, especially for their engagement rings.

Perhaps, you might have a limited budget for the purchase of a perfect ring for your lifetime partner. So, if you cannot afford to get a diamond engagement ring, you can settle for any precious gemstones that are cheaper than a diamond. Like a diamond, these gemstones could add elegance and beauty in your perfect engagement ring for her.

You can find a variety of engagement rings in some of the local jewelry stores. A lot of jewelers could offer different designs and styles that may be fitted perfectly in your hands. But before buying a perfect one, you must consider several things that may be your shopping guide of your engagement rings.

Know Your Budget

Before jumping to the jewelry store, you must set enough budget for a pair of your rings. You must take a consideration that an exotic rings are very expensive so if you want that kind, set a bigger amount. You can have a diamond ring with enough budget but if you have a tighter one, you can settle for a sapphire or emerald gemstones.

Metal

If you had already set a budget, you can now decide which material would you like to be used in your engagement rings. Some available metals are gold, silver, platinum, tungsten and titanium. You have to remember that each metal has its unique properties and characteristics that may be favorable to you. Platinum is the rarest and the most expensive metal followed by gold and silver. Titanium and tungsten might be cheaper, but still, they possess durability as well as beauty.

Favored Style

You must be observant to the likes and tastes of your future bride in terms of jewelries. Just observe her favorite color or the choice of designs she prefers. Some women are fond of plain and simple ring but there are also some who go for a stylish design. You can also consider the month of her birthday in choosing of birthstone. For example, if her birthday falls in the month of March, you have to choose Aquamarine and if it is September, go for a Sapphire. She would be surprised if you could give her a ring in line with her favored style.

Have A Comparison

Shop around and compare the engagement rings of different jewelry stores. You must have a comparison in terms of price, beauty and quality of the rings and select the best pair. You can also visit the site of some jeweler who could have a variety of styles that may be suitable in your taste with a pocket-friendly price. There are some online stores which could offer a reasonable discount especially in the weekend sales. If you are just careful in choosing, you could get affordable yet quality kind of engagement rings.

Shopping For Engagement Rings Together


Although traditionally a man would surprise his girlfriend with an engagement ring, shopping for engagement rings together has become commonplace and offers many benefits over the "old-fashioned" way of doing things.

For many centuries, men have offered their prospective bride an engagement ring when proposing marriage. The tradition goes back so many centuries that historians cannot even be sure where or when it began. One thing is for certain though; the engagement ring tradition is just as important a part of marriage today as it was hundreds of years ago.

But more and more these days, women are comfortable being part of the process. Gone all are the days of chivalry when the man would seek to "bribe" a woman into being his wife with an expensive ring. These days, women have their own money, their own taste, and expect to be involved throughout the courtship and engagement process.

As a result of this, more couples are now shopping for engagement rings together, instead of the husband-to-be going out on his own, like the lone ranger. And in general, this is a very good thing. After all, why shouldn't the woman be as much a part of this process as the man -- or even more.

If a woman is going to wear a ring on her finger for any length of time, then surely it should be one that she is comfortable with and fits her style. This last point is important because different women have very different tastes. Some would prefer white gold, and others would prefer yellow gold. Some expect to see a diamond on the engagement ring, and others are more comfortable with a simple gold or silver band.

And if you consider the alternative, shopping for engagement rings together makes a lot of sense. Often, when a man goes to buy a ring on his own, he will end up very confused about what to buy, and which type of ring his girlfriend would prefer. In these cases, men often resort to having a friend or family member go with them to be a "sounding board" when they shop for rings.

But if you're going to take a friend or family member along when shopping for engagement rings, doesn't it make much more sense to simply take the woman you plan to spend the rest of your life with? After all, she is the one who must be happy wearing the ring; not your friends or family members.

Once you've made the decision to shop for engagement rings as a couple, it is a good idea to discuss the price range you are comfortable with before you visit the jewelry stores. It doesn't have to be a specific dollar amount limit, but both partners should at least be "on the same page" before the shopping begins.

The worst-case scenario is that the woman may be completely blown away by a beautiful ring that is, unfortunately, way outside your price range. That is why it is critical that you sit down and discuss a general price range in advance -- and agree to stick to it.

Shopping for engagement rings doesn't have to be stressful, as long as you discuss things thoroughly in advance and make your decision as a couple.

Wedding and Engagement Ring Shopping Tips


It has long been tradition for the sparkling-eyed boyfriend to "surprise" his girlfriend with a wedding proposal and an engagement ring. The whole scenario is indeed romantic and is what dreams and movies are made of, but if you're a girl that is serious about your fashion, you may prefer to be involved in picking your engagement and wedding rings to suit your taste. Why leave such a crucial part of your style for a guy to do alone? Think about it, you will be wearing these rings for a lifetime! With this in mind, you may want to "window shop" together online once the relationship gets serious in order to let him know exactly what you like.

The ever classic solitaires are the most popular style of engagement rings, but for many couples today, they are a bit too common. The engagement ring symbolizes the special love you share with each other so you may want to throw tradition out the window a get a ring that is unique such as a vintage design, an uncommon diamond cut, a sapphire or emerald setting, or maybe even a colored diamond (with yellow diamonds being the most common while blue and pink are rare and fetch a much higher price). Once engaged, couples will then be looking for wedding bands. To begin the quest for the perfect wedding rings, consider all the options in various stones, gemstone cuts, ring designs and layouts, different precious metals, and, most importantly, the kind of statement you want to make to the world.

More than likely, when you think about an engagement ring, you imagine a huge, sparkling, round solitaire. These traditional prong-setting rings have been around since the 1800's and are always the bestsellers at virtually every jewelry store across the country. These rings are used for all the classic stone shapes such as round cut, princess cut, emeralds, heart-shaped, and pear-shaped. Most women start the process of wedding ring shopping with the desire for something different but usually end up with a traditional solitaire in a prong setting with a gold band. Even if you decide to settle for the traditional style, you can add some variation with side stones. Typically these are diamonds, but you can also get colored gems like emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. As the name states, side stones lay to either side of the main, center stone and are usually much smaller and come in assorted shapes, like half-moons, slim baguettes, shields, and trapezoids.

For another variation, large center stones can also be accentuated by just slightly smaller stones of the same shape on either side. These rings are known as three-stone rings. Traditionally, these were given on anniversaries but are now very much in style as engagement rings among traditional brides.

Even conventional jewelers continue to update their selections with fresh shapes of gemstone cuts based on the classic styles. Tiffany's, one of our most traditional jewelers, recently introduced the Lucida cut, a square-shaped stone set available in a wide gold or platinum band. Another example is the Asscher family who has introduced a new twist on its' signature style, an octagonal step-cut from 1902. This new version is called the Royal Asscher and is more sparkling than the old one.

An heirloom ring from the bride or groom's family could be a treasure to share for a lifetime. What if you don't have a heirloom ring in your family? Vintage rings such as Georgian, Edwardian, Victorian, or Deco can now be easily found online at such places as this site. You can also find exquisite reproductions of these styles here. Many women who want their engagement and wedding rings to look more like unique pieces of jewelry are snatching up these rings. Older cuts that were precursors of the modern brilliants and emerald cuts have a subtler shine than the newer ones, and offer a delicate, romantic look. These cuts include the old mine-cuts, rose-cuts, cushion-cuts, and the original Asschers.

Dead set against getting a traditional ring? Don't fret! There are many modern designs that double as engagement rings for couples with moderate or exotic aesthetics. One very popular contemporary design is a bezel-set ring where a diamond is surrounded by metal rather than being elevated up in a prong setting. Another popular design is the two-tone platinum and yellow gold rings with a sprinkle of diamonds.

The traditional wedding band is usually either a plain platinum or gold ring or one with intricate diamond accents that matches the engagement ring without detracting from it. This tradition is now changing as women are wearing everything from the plainest of bands to luxuriant diamond and gemstone studded rings that are equivalent or even larger than their engagement rings. Many women wear their engagement rings only on special occasions and have a diamond set band for everyday wear. Others get very thin wedding bands and wear them stacked. If a religious affiliation dictates a solid metal ring, many women will often buy one band for the ceremony itself, and get another fancier one to wear thereafter.
