Getting engaged is a time to be congratulated and celebrated. Choosing the ring can often be a daunting task if it’s a surprise engagement. Often couples get engaged and shop or browse online for the ring together. Vintage emerald cut diamond rings are extremely popular amongst couples. You can also customize the ring to ensure that it’s totally unique to you. The emerald cut is the actual cut of the diamond or shape. Others include the Princess cut, Asscher cut, Round cut, Tiffany cut and so on and so forth.


Pricing vintage emerald cut diamond engagement rings is all down to the diamond itself. To understand the value of diamonds you need to be familiar with the jewelers term “the 4 C’s”. These stand for the cut, clarity, color, carat (weight). It is also popular for couples to completely design their own engagement rings by buying the diamond separate to the band. In this way you are not tied to the same jeweler. You may prefer a different band (ring) from one jeweler and like to choose a loose diamond from another retail store or online store. Doing this can save money
but once again if you are buying loose diamonds get familiar with the 4C’s. Many people get fooled into thinking that the bigger the diamond the better. This is not the case.


Apart from understanding how diamonds are priced and why, it’s equally important to determine what metal you can afford for the engagement band. Platinum is popular for engagement rings along with titanium but white and rose gold along with silver bands sell equally well. The vintage emerald cut diamond engagement rings are a real alternative to the modern styles available today and tend to have more craftsmanship involved depending on the maker. Generally the design is based anywhere from the 1920’s to 1940’s. The antique style engagement ring will always be popular even in today’s times.


Some people receive vintage emerald cut diamond engagement rings from the proper 1920’s, 30’s or 40’s era due to inheritance. These rings tend to be very expensive and well worth getting jewelry insurance on. Once maintained well the ring itself can be passed on and used once again in the family thus saving thousands of dollars on a new engagement ring.
