The Legacy of Diamond in Jewelry Design
Antique diamond rings, diamond tiaras and dazzling vintage diamond earrings are on the wish lists of every lover of fine jewelry. And diamonds and diamond jewelry are primarily associated with storybook engagements and red-carpet grand entrances — indeed, this ultra-cherished gemstone has a dramatic history on its hands.
From “A Diamond Is Forever” to “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” pop culture has ingrained in our minds that diamonds are the most desired, the most lasting and the most valuable gemstone. But what makes the diamond so special? Each stone — whether it’s rubies, sapphires or another stone — is unique and important in its own right. April babies might claim diamonds for themselves, but just about everyone wants this kind of sparkle in their lives!
There are several factors that set diamonds apart from other stones, and these points are important to our gem education.
Diamonds are minerals. They are made up of almost entirely of carbon (carbon comprises 99.95 percent; the remainder consists of various trace elements). Diamonds are the hardest gemstones, ranking number 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Even its name, diamond, is rooted in the Greek adamas, or unconquerable. The only object that can scratch a diamond is another diamond. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth at very high temperatures (1,652–2,372 degrees Fahrenheit at depths between 90 and 120 miles beneath the earth’s surface) and are carried up by volcanic activity. Diamonds are quite rare, according to the Gemological Institute of America, and only 30 percent of all the diamonds mined in the world are gem quality.
In the 1950s, the Gemological Institute of America developed the 4Cs grading system to classify diamonds: clarity, color, cut and carat weight. Not all diamonds are created equal (there are diamonds, and then there are diamonds). The value of the diamond depends on the clarity (flawless diamonds are very rare but a diamond's value decreases if there are many blemishes or inclusions), color (the less color the higher the grade), cut (how the diamond’s facets catch the light, certain cuts of diamonds show off the stone better than others) and carat weight (the bigger, the better).
When you start shopping for a diamond engagement ring, always prioritize the cut, which plays the largest role in the diamond's beauty (taking the time to clean your diamond ring at least every six months or so plays a role in maintaining said beauty). And on 1stDibs, a range of buying guides can be found for those in the market for antique engagement rings, vintage engagement rings or Art Deco engagement rings.
Shop antique and vintage diamond rings, diamond necklaces and other extraordinary diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
Finding the Right Rings for You
Antique and vintage rings have long held a special place in the hearts of fine jewelry lovers all over the world.
No matter their origin or specific characteristics, rings are timeless, versatile accessories. They’ve carried deep meaning since at least the Middle Ages, when diamond rings symbolized strength and other kinds of rings were worn to signify romantic feelings or to denote an affiliation with a religious order. Rings have also forever been emblematic of eternity.
Over time, rings have frequently taken the form of serpents, which have long been associated with eternal life, health and renewal. Italian luxury jewelry house Bulgari has become famous for its widely loved Serpenti motif, for example, and its Serpenti ring, like the other accessories in the collection, began as an homage to jewelry of the Roman and Hellenistic eras. The serpent is now a popular motif in fine jewelry. Jewelry devotees have long pined for rings adorned with reptiles, thanks to antique Victorian rings — well, specifically, Queen Victoria’s illustrious engagement ring, which took the form of a gold snake set with rubies, diamonds and an emerald (her birthstone). Designs for Victorian-era engagement rings often featured repoussé work and chasing, in which patterns are hammered into the metal.
Engagement rings, which are reliably intimidating to shop for, are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment. On 1stDibs, a range of buying guides can be found for those in the market for antique engagement rings, vintage engagement rings or Art Deco engagement rings.
The most collectible antique engagement rings and vintage engagement rings are those from the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco eras. Named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who in succession ruled England starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign), antique Georgian rings, be they engagement rings or otherwise, are also coveted by collectors. Pearls, along with colored gemstones like garnets, rubies and sapphires, were widely used in Georgian jewelry. The late-1700s paste jewelry was a predecessor to what we now call fashion or costume jewelry.
The Art Nouveau movement (1880–1910) brought with it rings inspired by the natural world. Antique Art Nouveau rings might feature depictions of winged insects and fauna as well as women, who were simultaneously eroticized and romanticized, frequently with long flowing hair. Art Deco jewelry, on the other hand, which originated during the 1920s and ’30s, is by and large “white jewelry.” White metals, primarily platinum, were favored over yellow gold in the design of antique Art Deco rings and other accessories as well as geometric motifs, with women drawn to the era’s dazzling cocktail rings in particular.
Whether you’re hunting down a chunky classic for a Prohibition-themed cocktail party or seeking a clean contemporary design to complement your casual ensemble, find an exquisite collection of antique, new and vintage rings on 1stDibs.
- What is a wedding set?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A wedding set is a set of three rings, namely an engagement ring and a pair of matching wedding bands for the betrothed. In some cases, the groom's ring is excluded and it’s called a bridal set. Shop a collection of vintage and modern wedding ring sets from some of the world’s top jewelers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Traditionally, many Asian cultures do not use wedding rings. However, wedding rings have become popular even in countries where they are not normally worn due to the influence of Western traditions. This is particularly true for brides. For example, Chinese men typically don't wear wedding rings, but many Chinese women now choose to. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023A range of items and accessories can be used instead of wedding rings to celebrate your big day. Some couples exchange other types of jewelry like earrings or bracelets. Another option is to each present one another with a gift to symbolize your vows. For example, the bride might give the groom a watch, while he in turn offers her a heart pendant necklace. Feel free to choose something that is meaningful to you and your partner. Shop a variety of jewelry and timepieces from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Traditionally, Chinese wedding baskets were filled with gifts and necessities and given to the bride on her wedding day. The basket was tiered, and made out of woven material. You can shop a collection of Chinese wedding baskets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Yes, platinum is used in wedding rings. As the metal of choice for wedding jewelry, platinum offers long-lasting durability, as it is strong and scratch-resistant.

On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of platinum wedding rings.
- Did the Celts use wedding rings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Yes, the Celts did use wedding rings.

- What is a cruet set used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A cruet set is used to hold condiments. Most sets include one cruet for oil and another for vinegar.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A channel set wedding band has the stones set between two walls of metal. There are no prongs between the stones, so the stones are nestled alongside one another. Shop a range of antique and vintage channel set wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023To hold your wedding rings together, you can use an accessory called a ring connector.

For a more permanent option, you can have a jeweler solder the rings to one another. On 1stDibs, find a variety of wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, you can use your engagement ring as your wedding ring. Although many people choose to wear a separate wedding band, you're free to have your new spouse slip your engagement ring onto your finger during your wedding ceremony. In this case, you would forego wearing a wedding band entirely. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Pure gold is typically not used for wedding rings due to its properties. Because it contains no base metals, pure or 24-karat gold is soft and malleable. As a result, it's vulnerable to scratches and breakage. Alloys like 18- and 14-karat gold tend to be stronger and are better suited to making rings. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of gold wedding rings.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Yes, it is okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band. Some people prefer not to wear two separate rings and use the same piece both to symbolize their intent to marry and for their marriage vows. A wedding ring also doesn't have to be a band ring at all. A solitaire, halo or other type of engagement ring featuring a central stone and accent stones can easily serve as a wedding ring. You're free to choose any ring to function as both your engagement and wedding rings. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of wedding rings.
- Are silver tea sets safe to use?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Silver is a chemically non-reactive metal, so as long as the tea set is clean and has been properly cared for, it is safe to use. However, silver is an excellent conductor of heat, so be careful not to burn your lips or tongue whilst drinking tea. Shop a collection of authentic silver tea sets from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
