Trending: Vintage-Inspired Engagement Rings for Quiet Luxury Brides

 What is old will inevitably become new again. It’s the never-ending cycle of fashion trends. The wedding industry tends to move at a slower rate than mainstream fashion, so vintage-inspired trends rarely go out of style.

While your wedding might take inspiration from contemporary trends, you want to choose an engagement ring that will stand the test of time. In this post, we’re spotlighting some of our best-selling vintage-inspired engagement rings and why these silhouettes deserve a spot on your shortlist.

The Lasting Appeal of Vintage Engagement Ring

Vintage engagement rings have seen a resurgence in popularity, thanks to the ‘quiet luxury’ trend. While buying vintage is arguably more sustainable than mining for new diamonds, our sustainable engagement rings offer the best of both worlds with an ethically designed ring and the freedom to customize it with our bespoke service.

Your engagement ring is a modern heirloom, symbolizing your love story and your promises for the future. Unlike some contemporary trends, vintage-inspired silhouettes will never look dated.

4 of the Best Art Deco Engagement Rings

There are over 100 years of engagement ring designs to choose from, but the Art Deco period of the 1920s originated many of the classic silhouettes we know and love today. We’re sharing art deco-inspired four engagement rings that encapsulate the era with a contemporary twist. 

1. Kristina Engagement Ring

Princess Diana’s iconic 12ct oval Ceylon sapphire is considered the most recognizable engagement ring in the world. Our ‘Kristina’ engagement ring takes its inspiration from this regal setting with its captivating pave halo that offers brilliant sparkle from every angle. 

Available in white gold, rose gold, and yellow gold, this style is one of our most popular art deco engagement rings and can be made bespoke with your choice of sustainable gemstone.  

2. Acoma Engagement Ring

The Art Deco era is when cushion-cut engagement rings first went mainstream as jewelry houses began to experiment with geometric shapes and accent stones to create showstopping designs.

The ‘Acoma’ cushion cut diamond engagement ringfeatures a lab-grown diamond as its center stone, accented by four cushion-cut lab diamonds. It’s perfect for a couple searching for a minimalistic engagement ring with clean lines that doesn’t hold back on its sparkle. 

3. Cersei Engagement Ring

At Valley Rose, we love to take vintage-inspired engagement rings and give them a whimsical upgrade. Our ‘Cersei’ engagement ring reimagines the halo silhouette with a fantasy twist in honor of the iconic Game of Thrones character for which the ring takes its name.

The tapered baguette diamond halo gives the illusion of both swords and a crown, symbolizing the coming together of two different worlds. This is an alternative engagement ring you’ll fall head over heels for . 

4. Christy Engagement Ring

If you want an engagement ring that will become a modern heirloom, look no further than the ‘Christy’ ring. One of our most popular art deco engagement rings, this modern five-stone style features a center emerald cut lab created diamond, accentuated by baguette cut and princess cut lab diamonds.

The contrasting cuts make this vintage style feel contemporary, tapping into the ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic that continues to dominate bridal trends. You can put your own twist on the Christy ring with your choice of metal, diamond, prong style, and gold finish.
