Antique Gemstone Engagement Rings

A coloured gemstone engagement ring can be the perfect alternative to a diamond ring. We have a large variety in stock and would be happy to take you through suitable options. The tradition of engagement rings can be traced back to Ancient Rome when women first started wearing rings. They tended to be made from materials such as flint and bone, but also gold, copper and silver. The rings were worn as a sign of everlasting love and commitment. 

The Story of Gemstone Engagement Rings

Gemstone engagement rings are a beautiful alternative to traditional diamond rings. They symbolise love and commitment while allowing for personal expression through vibrant colours and distinctive designs. These rings have a rich history, dating back centuries, when coloured gemstones like sapphires, rubies, and emeralds were prized for their beauty and significance.

Throughout history, gemstone engagement rings have been treasured for their symbolism. For example, sapphires often represent wisdom and loyalty, while rubies symbolize passion and vitality. Today, these rings are chosen by couples who want something meaningful, colourful, and unique.

The art deco gemstone rings of the 1920s and 1930s are especially popular today. These designs feature geometric patterns, symmetrical layouts, and luxurious settings, blending vintage glamour with modern elegance. Whether you prefer a bold, statement piece or a delicate, vintage-inspired design, gemstone engagement rings offer endless possibilities.

In the UK, gemstone engagement rings are growing in popularity. They allow couples to choose rings that reflect their personality and cultural heritage. From Victorian gemstone rings to Edwardian and Art Deco styles, the world of gemstone engagement rings is rich with history and craftsmanship.
