Planning to get engaged?

If you have a desire to mark your engagement with a ring as special as your relationship, then an antique yellow gold engagement ring that provides a sense of the old-world romance can be just perfect for you.

An antique ring specifically refers to one over 50 years old, while an estate ring is anything less than that. Most of the engagement rings available date from the late 1800s through the 1950s. Yellow gold antique engagement rings were prominent in the Victorian era (1865-1900) and sported elegant and simple designs, with a single “old mine” or European cut, as well as intricate designs with deep carving.

For instance, the antique Victorian Emerald engagement ring, with its eight table cut diamonds that encircle the emerald cut diamond, has its band designed in 18k yellow gold that creates a wonderful combination of sparkle and color. This antique yellow gold engagement ring, at $1,590, can be a timeless present for your better half.

Like a flowers and leaves diamond engagement ring in 14 karat yellow gold with its hand finished filigree work and a brilliant cut diamond of 0.12 carat can be an eye pleasing sight. With a price of $600, this yellow gold antique engagement ring can grace your hand.

Consider another instance: An antique diamond Art Deco engagement ring in 14 karat gold has a 0.31 old mine cut round diamond center stone flanked by two other diamonds with the rest of the ring crafted in yellow gold.
