1.88 Carats Pear Shape Diamond Three-Stone Engagement Ring GIA Certified

It’s no secret that our first love here at Lang is the all-original antique or vintage engagement ring. It’s what we’re known for! But sometimes an original ring comes to us with a setting that’s simply too well-worn to use, or we get a “loose” vintage diamond in need of a new home. For these lonely stones, we’ve created a line of vintage-inspired engagement rings –faithful to the classics, but built to last through the next few lifetimes..

You found your ideal, beautiful, one-of-a-kind antique or vintage engagement ring… and then realized that you need a wedding band to go with it. Pairing the two can be tricky, since vintage engagement rings rarely come with matching bands, and many modern bands don’t accommodate vintage shapes and designs. So we created a line of vintage-style wedding bands, modeled after original pieces from our collection.

Like fine wine, fine jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails. Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old, they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that, but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history of the period.
