Congratulations! You are either about to pop the question to your significant other and want to choose the perfect ring or have already proposed and are now searching for a ring together. Either way, you may have already considered choosing an antique engagement ring for the special lady in your life. There are many reasons why an antique engagement ring is the right way to go when choosing the engagement ring.
Family Values
For many people there is an antique engagement ring heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation. If your special someone happens to be the recipient of this heirloom, chances are that she will want to wear it and will not necessarily want any other ring you might pick out for her. If you know that she is going to be the recipient of the family heirloom antique engagement ring, before you propose make sure that you speak to whoever safeguards the heirloom. If it is time for it to be passed down, chances are you will be able to get it before you propose. That way you can still surprise your special someone with a ring box and an engagement ring to slide on her finger as she says yes!
Unique Styles
An antique engagement ring setting is going to be a unique ring that, chances are, no one else will have. With things being mass produced today, jewelry that is unique and that has character is a way of the past. If your special someone values uniqueness and interestingness in her jewelry, you should look into getting an antique engagement ring for her. You can look for a ring that has spunk and style but is different from the traditional engagement ring. You can find many different unique styles that are not around today but were present back when rings were made years ago.
Where To Look
There are a few different places to look for an antique engagement ring. First, you can look at a jeweler, as they may have some antiques for sale. Second, you can scour through antique stores searching for an antique engagement ring. However, this can be difficult. Whatever you purchase you will need to get evaluated by a jeweler to make sure that it is authentic. Third, you can simply ask around your family or your special someone’s family to see if anyone has any antique diamond rings that they are looking to pass down!
