Vintage Engagement Rings

(from 1950 to 2000)

Engagement rings symbolise the bond between two people who have promised each other a future together. Many couples are now opting for an individual model with history, chosing a lasting and unique piece of jewellery that takes them back to past decades and at the same time symbolises their own future.

Back to times gone by

Engagement rings were already regarded as a promise of fidelity in antiquity and the Middle Ages, but were also presented to the bride-to-be - not very romantically - as confirmation of the dowry paid. For a long time, the material of choice was iron.

Since the middle of the 20th century, the engagement ring in its classic form has also become established in broader sections of the population and is presented to the bride-to-be as a promise of marriage. The tradition of symbolising an engagement with partner rings is largely obsolete today.

Create special moments with a vintage engagement ring

As the piece of jewellery should ideally be worn every day, the decision for an engagement ring should always be carefully considered. If you prefer a unique piece of jewellery rather than an off-the-peg model, you should opt for a vintage engagement ring. At Halsbandaffaire, we offer you a wide selection of rings from the second half of the 20th century, with a wealth of different designs and materials to suit every taste.

A vintage engagement ring is more than just a promise of love: it reflects history and your own awareness of resources. At the same time, it can be wonderfully customised to the preferences of the recipient, so that you can create a unique moment with your marriage proposal that will last a lifetime.

The diamond solitaire

The diamond in particular has always enjoyed great popularity and in the 20th century, in the form of the solitaire, it became an absolute classic in the engagement ring segment. The symbolism here is clear: as the hardest, naturally occurring mineral, the diamond symbolises enduring, strong and eternal love. In combination with a simple ring band made of white gold, yellow gold or red gold, the diamond solitaire unfolds its full effect and is one of the most common forms of engagement ring.

The Trilogy Ring

A vintage engagement ring with extraordinary symbolism is the so-called trilogy ring, which is set with three diamonds or gemstones that represent the past, present and future of the couple.

Gemstones: Colourful sparkle with an individual message

Vintage engagement rings with coloured gemstones not only add a charming splash of colour, but also offer the opportunity to create a unique connection between the piece of jewellery and the wearer.

For example, you can choose the ring according to your fiancée's birthstone. Or you can opt for a model with a gemstone that matches the first letter of her first name. Utilise the language of gemstones!
