Our favorite vintage engagement rings are...
Middlebrook is an outstanding Edwardian era (circa 1915) platinum and white gold ring that truly exemplifies the impressive craftsmanship of the era. The ring centers a bezel set antique Pear shaped diamond gauged at approximately 1.45ct, graded K-L color and VS clarity. Middlebrook is further designed with a scalloped shaped halo of sixteen Old European Cut and Single Cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.50ct in weight. The ring is finished with unique triangular and crescent shaped open metal work allowing the ring to have a light and airy appearance. The original shank was thinning, so Trumpet and Horn added a handmade Platinum shank detailed with four Rose Cut diamonds along the shoulders. Middlebrook is currently a size 7 and can be sized to fit. Please note the center diamond could not be removed from the setting so all weight and diamond grading is an estimation.
Smokey Hill is an exemplary vintage-inspired halo style engagement ring influenced by a Victorian ring we once owned. The original one featured an opal center, with a pearl halo, and can be found here! We loved the setting so much that we decided it would make the perfect sapphire and diamond halo ring. The 18k rose gold ring is handmade locally, here in Los Angeles, by our master jeweler. It centers a twelve prong set 0.95ct Round natural sapphire accompanied by a Guild Laboratories certificate stating the sapphire is Heated with Ceylon origin. The incredibly blue sapphire is surrounded by a decadent halo of twelve Round Brilliant Cut diamonds totaling exactly 0.31ct, each graded G-H color and VS clarity. Smokey Hill is finished with a handcrafted trumpet-style 18k rose gold shank, detailed with a subtle touch of oxidization to the metal. The ring is currently a size 7 and can be sized to fit.
