There are various styles of Antique Engagement Rings that people can choose from. Making the proper selection will depend on the particular look that one is attracted to and, of course, establishing budget parameters. Here are some examples of great styles of engagements rings that Gesner Estate Jewelry can offer.

Edwardian Engagement Rings- Edwardian Engagement Rings were some of the most popular rings of the early 1900’s. These rings offer a lace-like detail filigree that was cherished by ladies of the Edwardian era. These classical rings offer a sense of diversity and special appeal that is unique to the era. The Edwardian rings were usually delicate and very feminine.

Art Deco Engagement Rings- Art Deco Engagement Rings cover the time period between the 1920’s and 1930’s. Emeralds, Sapphires and Rubies became very popular and were often used with diamonds to create the “look” of the Art Deco era. The Art Deco “look” often combines influences of cubism, geometric and angular design. They are equally popular with the Edwardian look and certain to be cherished for years to come. These rings are very hard to find and are still very much in high demand.

Victorian Jewelry (1837-1890)

Victorian Jewelry refers to the styles of jewelry that were fashionable during the reign of Queen Victoria of Great Britain. Queen Victoria loved to wear jewelry. She was also very influential with women of her time and whatever caught her fancy turned into fashion. Victorian jewelry is as complex in it’s symbolism, sentiment and design as the fashion, architecture and decor of the time. Worn as an ornament, a love token or a remembrance, both the costume and fine jewelry of the era not only completed the well-dressed lady’s attire but also denoted her position in society, her marital status and her sense of self.

Retro Era (1940-1960)

The Retro Era was more well-known for its jewelry crafted in rose, yellow or green gold. Rings, for instance, were oversized and gemstones that were popular during that time were diamond, aquamarine, topaz, citrine, sapphire and often synthetic ruby
