Vintage jewelry has been on the rise for the past 30 years.
Find out what vintage rings are and why the market is flooded with them.
Fortunately, in the world of professional jewelry, everyone
pretty much agrees on what is and isn't vintage. You can browse and shop the
vintage oval engagement rings from
Vintage Times.
DEFINITION
OF A VINTAGE ENGAGEMENT RING
A vintage engagement ring is a ring that has been worn for
more than 20 years. Although technically, a vintage ring can be old and unused,
it is usually second-hand.
Anything from 20 to 99 years old is considered vintage when
it comes to jewelry. Anything over 99 years old qualifies as both vintage and
antique. There are no standards for quality or monetary value for historical
labels. The age of a piece is the only factor determining whether it is
classified as vintage. This includes wedding bands and engagement rings. Go
here for a complete breakdown of the technical differences between vintage and
antique jewelry.
Vintage can – and does – cut across many eras of design
since age is the defining factor, and just because an engagement ring is of a
certain style doesn't make it vintage or anything else.

HOW TO
MAINTAIN YOUR ANTIQUE RING?
Like everything else in life, Vintage rings need to be
looked after if you want them to last. Diamonds, although being the toughest
material on the planet, can be destroyed. Here are the measures to properly
care for your vintage ring.
WELLNESS
SUGGESTIONS FOR RINGS
There are numerous suggestions for keeping your ring secure,
clean, and in good working order. We've attempted to condense the most
important advice.
Maintain the cleanliness of your ring
·
The ring should not be bumped or banged
·
While wearing the ring, avoid doing any severe
manual labor
·
Carefully handle the ring
·
Invest in a ring insurance policy
CLEANING
REGULARLY
Give your ring a thorough cleaning at least three times a
year. You can either take it to your jeweler to have it cleaned and steamed for
you or do it yourself.
You can soak the ring in a warm mix of mild liquid detergent
and water to clean it yourself. A dishwashing liquid is a good option, but any
mild detergent would suffice. Clean the ring gently with a gentle brush. Using
a lint-free cloth, blot the ring dry.
CAREFUL
HANDLING
This isn't only a warning for vintage jewelry. Every piece
of jewelry should be handled with caution.
Always choose your vintage diamond engagement ring (or any
gemstone ring) based on the band, not the stone or setting. This will not only
protect natural oils from your hands from accumulating around the diamond's
setting, but it will also keep the diamond secure.
Don't let go of your ring until you're sure the person
receiving it has a strong grip on it.
