    Since I could remember I have wanted a Buccellati ring. They are rings in a category of their own and that is what I am in search for. The one problem....Their prices are also in a category of their own!!!  In my engagement story here I wrote about receiving my rose gold shared prong eternity 'proposal' band and then designing an e-ring with FI. What I didn't share is that along with my proposal band I received FI's great great grandfathers 1916 old mine cut 1.3 diamond. Words cannot explain how special it is!  Old mine cuts are EXTREMELY rare!  To honor its uniqueness and because I want to have something we (or I) don't see often I thought it would be great in an Art Deco setting....

    If you have one PLEASE share them...Also let me know what you think of the two below.  My diamond will be the center stone Wink

    DANG! I am in love. Would you check estate sales and maybe find one, buy it, sell the center diamond, and put yours in? (Or see if you can buy it without the diamond in it?) Or do you want to get it made?

    I'm seriously in love with those.

    I've actually never done it? I think you can see sales like that online too. I would just google it or maybe visit pawn shops in the area and ask them where you can find larger selections of fine jewelry if they don't have much. Good luck!

    Gorgeous!  I especially love the first one.  A lot of smaller jewelers have "estate" jewelry for sale.

    What do we think?? Fab-u-lous! It's a conflict free diamond, Art deco settings are incredibly unique & are just so beautiful! They're heirloom pieces for a reason :)

    I really like both settings... it's really hard to choose. I like the shape of the second ring better, but the first one accents the stone better! Ahh... I'll say- the first?! (but really both rock)

    You can definitely bring your diamond in to an estate or vintage jewelry store and they should be able to help you find a setting...There must be a bunch of Seattle, I'm willing to bet, I would just do a bit of online research (Yelp or Citisearch maybe?) to find one with good reviews and then go in person to see what setting the diamond looks good in... I love both of the ones you posted, they're beautiful!

    Wow!  What a great story-it definitely goes with the style of the Art Deco ring.  I love that your FI proposed with the band so you could create a ring together!  Will you wear that band on your right hand? Congrats!

    @trailmix - you are so right, there is a very popular estate jeweler here in Seattle called Isadoras AND its two blocks from my office, lol - - i am going to stroll over tomorrow during lunch YAY Wink

    @LaceyHarlow - thank you so much. The proposal band will actually be my everyday band w/ my two solid rose gold wedding bands (one in front of the eternity band one behing the eternity band.)  I'll wear my e-ring for date night or special events or for something along those lines Wink

    I LOVE Art Deco!!!!! In fact, the hotel where FH proposed was an Art Deco hotel. :-) I'd like to think my ring has hint of art deco, but I am sure that is just my wishful thinking (even though I love my ring).

    i love them! I love all things from the 50's and before. I was thinking about doing the same thing because my FI proposed with a ring from that belonged to his great-great grandma. Well when I thought about doing this I was talking about this and then realized it wasn't just the stone that belonged to his great great grandma, it was the the entire thing and I couldn't make myself separate the 2. I think it would look amazing tho!

    Wow, those are beautiful. I love the art deco style but would be so scared of losing it and so probably would end up not wearing it. :(

    I got my ring from a estate jeweler in Beverly Hills - Bela Dora. They have a ton of art deco rings.

    Also, Fay Cullen has a lot. I'm sure you'll be able to find something great for your stone.

    @AprilBride - Marisa Perry is really close to my apartment and FI and I went there when we were looking for rings and that's totally the one I tried on. Her and her husband are SO nice. They let their dog chill in the store too, which I loved. It was just a bit too pricey for us, but it's gorgeous.

    @Kittychai - I used to work on West Broadway and Spring and that was the first place I went to look at rings.  Marissa is super sweet and FI fell in love with their dog too!  Their list prices were a bit high, but they were very reasonable on negotiating the pricing (esp since I went for a smaller stone since my finger is teeny). 

    We're going to order my wedding band tonight, I can't wait!

    All of these rings are beautiful!

    I have a 1930's Art Deco ring!!  I've always loved antique rings as my grandmother is a jewelry lover(esp. rings).  My fiance proposed with one of his mother's rings and a couple months later, we picked out mine together.  I was going between this one and 2 others, but ultimately I chose this one and I LOVE it!!  The center is a cluster of 7 diamonds and it has 3 one each side.

    I love yours!

    I always thought my e-ring was art deco until last month, when I happened to ask my jeweler something.  I wear 3 rings but the square ring is Edwardian (that has two bands soldered on).  It is my original e-ring.  I think my second ring (anniversary band that I received this year) is art deco, or so I've been told.

    I have a really pretty antique diamond ring at home (at FI's right now). I will have to take a picture of it. I don't know the exact year it was made, but it is definitely old. It has a butterfly on the side with tons of filigree. I bought it as a right hand ring, but now I have no room for it. I think I may resize it to fit on my middle finger on my right hand lol (promise ring is now on my right ring finger). Promise to post a picture ASAP :-).
