Where to Look for Antique Style Engagement Rings
If possible, ask for the provenance or history of the ring. The more you can learn about the original craftsmanship that
went into the piece the more certain you can be that you are buying a quality piece. While you can shop at places like consignment or pawn shops or even in online auctions, specialized jewelry shops are your best bet. You want to hold the ring in your hand, try it on, hold it up to the light and check it for imperfections and flaws. The chances of learning the history of the ring are also much better from a jeweler than from another seller.

Essentially, if the ring speaks to you and holds up to scrutiny by a professional, you've found your engagement ring.
Cleaning Antique Rings
Always discuss the care of your antique ring with your jeweler. Different grades of gold, especially the older, softer grades, require different care to minimize scratches and "dings." Never scrub at the ring and use only soft jewelry cloths to remove dust and dirt. Do not use a commercial cleaning solution until you have discussed the product with your jeweler.
For many engaged couples antique style engagement rings bring added romance to their relationship and are, in essence, ready-made heirlooms. In selecting antique diamond engagement rings exercise a reasonable amount of judgment to acquire a piece you and your loved one will enjoy for years to come.
