Vintage Rings
(from 1950 to 2000)
A ring is not just a decorative accessory, but has had a symbolic character for thousands of years: its round shape without beginning or end symbolises infinity. A vintage ring is therefore not only a piece of jewellery with symbolic power, but also a unique and special object, a contemporary witness to past decades and a lasting companion for the future.

When do we talk about a vintage ring?
Vintage rings date from the period following Art Déco, i.e. the post-war years from around 1950 onwards. Objects that were created before this and are already more than 100 years old are referred to as antique, even if they do not originate from classical antiquity.
Vintage rings therefore date from the period between the middle of the 20th century and the beginning of the new millennium around the year 2000.
As diverse as the last 50 - 60 years have been, so too has the jewellery produced in them. The appeal of vintage rings therefore clearly lies in their unusual, varied and extravagant designs! In contrast to off-the-peg jewellery and monotonous models that correspond to today's tastes, a vintage ring is a unique piece of jewellery with which you can wonderfully emphasise your own style and personal preferences.
Vintage rings for women
Vintage rings for women offer an almost limitless wealth of shapes, colours and materials, as they reflect countless fashions and trends that have inspired generations before us.
Our individual models have something to suit every taste and occasion: whether you are looking for an everyday companion or an extravagant accessory for an opulent visit to the opera or a special anniversary. Vintage rings are even ideal as engagement rings as they can often do more justice to the personal character of the bride-to-be than a modern counterpart without any special charm.
Vintage rings for men
Vintage rings are also represented in men's jewellery. However, as men's jewellery is classically more discreet and is also used less ostentatiously, the vintage ring for men is a carefully selected piece of jewellery that serves as an expression of the wearer's own style and personality. Cool elegance, simplicity and a high-quality design usually take centre stage here.
The classic signet ring, which can be engraved with the wearer's own family crest or monogram, is therefore particularly popular. A few centuries ago, it was still seen as a status symbol and a sign of power and social influence, but today a vintage signet ring offers a wonderful opportunity to continue or even start your own family tradition.
Gold, silver, gemstones - a wide variety of materials
In addition to classic gold vintage rings, pieces with gemstones, diamonds and pearls were of course also very popular. As one of the most important elements in jewellery design, gemstones played a central role in all decades of the 20th century. Classics such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds were timeless and ever-present, but aquamarines, opals, amethysts and turquoises were also popular due to their extraordinary colour and material properties.
Of course, diamonds have enjoyed a special status since time immemorial. Its hardness, rarity and brilliance make it a unique natural material that has always fascinated jewellery makers and wearers. A vintage ring with diamonds is therefore a particularly exquisite companion that impresses with its durability, fire and exclusivity.
