I was set on an antique ring (after loving my great-grandmother's ring that I could not have) so we shopped for months looking for one, having lots of fun at antique stores along the way. We finally found this 1910-1920 ring at an antique fair. The details are hard to photograph without a good camera, but the triangle stones are sapphire, and between the sapphires are a leaf design. We're getting bands made to match the engraving on the ring. I love antique/heirloom rings! Who else has one to share?
i've decided it's hard to take good pictures of rings! my husband got mine at vintage jewelry store after i made a fuss about conflict-free diamonds. i love it! doesn't work with any sort of wedding band whatsoever, but i don't care.

@Miss Elephant: I think your ring is really eye-catching on your finger. Such an interesting and beautiful shape! Thanks for sharing.
i love antique rings!!!
i don't have a photo of the engagement ring (those are all on my other computer), but here's the wedding band i just bought:

@bakerysensei: I LOVE YOUR WEDDING BAND!!!
i've been trying to find an antique wedding band...no luck so far with something i like/in my size....i'm gonna keep trying for a few more months!
Here is mine! I love it! Late 1920's art deco ring, found at an antique shop in our neighborhood. It's just about one of a kind, which I adore!

Yay! These are all beautiful! My husband and I searched for antique wedding bands too, but we wanted matching ones, and couldn't find them. We did get his used, but mine is new. My e-ring is a 30s setting that originally held a diamond. The center stone had been sold, so we bought the setting and had a new sapphire set in it.
@BostonBrideToBe: that ring is amazing!! what a great find.
i don't have any good pictures of my ring. it's my husband's great grandma's.
@BostonBrideToBe: Your ring is seriously beautiful! It is so classic and dainty, but with a little bit of personality. *sigh* Maybe I can have a beautiful antique ring for an anniversary....
@bakerysensei: & @Julefay: Thank you so much! I really, really adore it. It was one of those "very lucky" moments (that never happen to us!). I mean, gosh, who would have imagined that this random antique shop, that normally only has one or two engagment rings a month would have THE perfect ring for us? (And it was a good deal, it appraised SO much higher than he paid!)
My ering was my FH's great-grandmother's.

Hi Bees! This is officially my first post here on WeddingBee! We got engaged on June 24th this year, it was our 4 year anniversary!
We chose my ring together and got it second-hand from a jewellery boutique in the town where we live, I'm not sure how old it is but I just loved the vintage style! (here goes the first attempt at uploading an image!...)
Edit - I also meant to say I think your rings are all really pretty! I like these posts!

I'm so happy this topic is still going! I love the variety and individuality in the antique rings, and the stories of where they came from. Thanks for sharing, everyone!
Sorry it's giant! My ring is an estate Art Deco piece. I had to have a custom wedding band made to fit with it.
I had gone on line and looked at a lot of antique rings. We found this one at the first shop we went to, I knew this was it as soon as I put it on. I knew all other rings would be compared to this one so we stopped looking.

This was my Dad's Mom's ring. I adore it. It's Platinum and from around 1940. We don't know much about my Grandma's wedding - if it was big or if they went to the JoP. All we have are the rings. That makes it doubly special.
@amysunshine: Your ring is so beautiful :) Everyone's is. My SO and I picked out my ring together in an antique shop as well about a month ago. He is going to make the proposal a surprise though. I can't wait. I will be sure to post a picture when I get it. It's from the 1930s as well. I heard it's difficult though to match a wedding band to an antique eng. ring. Is that true?
I love my rings! The stone is an antique and my husband designed the setting for my engagement ring and my wedding band...

these are all so gorgeous! i love that they are one of a kinds, not just from the mall!
@cbee awww! thank you so much!! i love it but was disappointed about not having a wedding ring to go with it. but i guess it just makes it my wedding ring and more special? :)
I adore antique rings! They're all so unique, like works of art. Mine is a 1930s Art Deco ring.

so that beautiful wedding ring i posted above was completely ruined by the jeweler trying to resize it, so i'm back on the hunt for a wedding band. any of you ladies know of good places to look online?
Here is mine, i love it!!!! Its form the 1920's, it was my great aunts, then my moms then mine. Its in the original
box
@bakerysensei:That is horrible! Have you looked at Ruby Lane? That's my favorite place to drool over antique jewelry online. Good luck!
oh my god. i had never heard of ruby lane before--thanks!
although my productivity for today just went to zero :)
I don't have an antique ring but I love these pictures ladies! Keep uploading! I do have two links to share for more eye candy:
http://www.langantiques.com/ I always walk past it and drool over their display case.
Brilliant Earth actually has a antiques ring selection as well! FI and I went to their showroom last week to order our wedding bands and they let me try on ALL THE RINGS I WANTED! I loved how casual they were. Their jewels were not locked in a display case but were stacked neatly on the showroom table.
My fiance picked this one out without any help from me at all. He has good taste! No wedding band fits it though, so this is my one and only ring. For now, lol.
