If you’re looking for the perfect engagement ring, congratulations on your special relationship! You may be on the fence right now between a vintage (or even antique) engagement ring and a new and modern ring. The great thing about an engagement ring is that you get to choose what fits your personality and the personality of your partner best.


There’s no right answer except the answer that’s right for you. Here are some thoughts to help you make a choice.



Is a Vintage Engagement Ring Right for You?



Vintage rings have timeless appeal. These rings have character. Often, people who choose the vintage rings choose them because of the romantic and sentimental nature of a vintage ring. These couples enjoy rings that have special meaning and special stories behind them. They like thinking about how the ring has been passed down and how they’ll be able to pass it down as well.  Vintage and antique rings have old world craftsmanship that makes them special.

Is a Modern Engagement Ring Right for You?


Modern engagement rings are known for their clean lines and sleek appearance. The trend now is toward a minimalist style where elegance is valued very highly. That means elegance in a style sense, with nothing added to the design that isn’t absolutely necessary. Form and functionality meet for modern styles. Modern rings often use right-angle cuts like princess cut diamonds, emerald cut diamonds, and so on.


What about New Engagement Ring in a Classic Style?


The great news is that you’re not limited to one thing or another when it comes to buying an engagement ring. You can get new rings made in a vintage style. This is often smart because there is a lot of style versatility with something classic. When you get a solitaire engagement ring or a three stone ring, it will be in style forever. Regardless of what others will think, though, if you find the style you love, you can get that style.
