Plain Antique Engagement Rings

Plain antique engagement rings are often handed down as family heirlooms. Sometimes, they are purchased from estate sales and auctions. Although antique rings are beautiful they can sometime be a bit boring and impersonal to their new owner. The good news is that you can definitely add some personal touches to any plain ring even if it is antique. The first thing you may need to do is have the ring sized to fit your finger. Most any jeweler can make a ring smaller or larger to fit you. It is more expensive to have a ring sized down than it is to have one stretched but it is possible.


Another way to personalize an antique ring is to have the band engraved. Most jewelers can engrave a short message on the inside of a ring band. This message might be names or even a romantic sentiment. Of course, if your ring is a family heirloom having it engraved might be out of the question. One thing you could do is add a ring wrap. Ring wraps are made to fit around a solitaire stone. They can be found with diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and other gems. They add a splash of color to any plain ring.

If you're in the market for an engagement ring there are several reasons to go antique. Antique rings are beautiful and timeless. One thing you'll see on some Victorian era engagement rings is filigree work. Filigree is an intricate style of open metal work that was used a lot in the 19th century. It can add romantic detailing to any plain stone. There are many places to shop for antique rings. If you have antique shops in your area they might be a good place to begin. You can also find lots of choices on the Internet.

For example, plain antique engagement rings can be purchased on Ebay. When shopping for jewelry on Ebay, always make sure you are dealing with a reputable seller. Also make sure that the jewelry comes with a certificate of authenticity from a legitimate jewelry appraiser. While there are lots of honest sellers on Ebay there are a few scammers as well. You will also find plenty of online jewelry retailers who sell both modern and antique engagement rings.
