Antique vs Vintage Rings – What’s the Difference?

Antique rings are generally considered to be pieces that are around 100 years old or more, often from the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian or early Art Deco periods. Vintage rings tend to be slightly later – mid-20th century and beyond – and have a different look and feel. If you love later styles, you can also explore our wider range of vintage rings and other vintage jewellery.

How to Choose the Right Antique Ring

When you’re choosing an antique ring online, it helps to think about how you’ll wear it day to day:

• Ring size: We list every ring in UK sizes and include an approximate inner diameter. You can compare this with our ring size guide or a ring you already own.
• Metal and colour: Many of our antique rings are crafted in rich yellow 18ct or 22ct gold, with some rose gold pieces. Choose what best matches your other jewellery or wedding band.
• Stone type: Diamonds are classic for engagement and dress rings, while sapphires, rubies, emeralds, opals and pearls add colour and character.
• Everyday wear: Lower-profile rings and smooth gold bands are usually better for daily wear, while higher settings and delicate designs are perfect for occasional or special-occasion use.

If you’re unsure about a particular ring, you’re always welcome to contact us for more details, extra photos or guidance on sizing before you buy.
