Nearly 5000 years ago, the first rings were exchanged and worn as a symbol of love by the ancient Egyptians. Those rings were very simple, woven from reeds, or sometimes leather, and significantly different from vintage rings for sale today. The shape of the ring, being a circle with no end, was seen to represent eternal life and love. Since the ancient Egyptians wore those first simple rings, jewellers have used many precious metals and gemstones over time to create beautifully ornate, decorative pieces, giving us the incredible choice of antique rings we have today.
Antique Georgian Rings and Victorian Rings designs were vastly different from the examples seen in the 20th century. As with any jewellery, with antique rings, you always have the value of the precious materials used. Much more than that, though, when buying any of the antique rings for sale, you get a piece of history that its previous keeper has treasured.
At LoveAntiques, we have a fine selection of Antique and Vintage rings for all your needs.

If you have a dirty ring that needs to be brought back to life a little, the process is straightforward. Vintage rings should have a little patina on them, so you don’t want to use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Mixing warm water and washing up liquid is sufficient by using a soft toothbrush or a soft cloth. When cleaning rare antique rings, be gentle, especially when cleaning the head and the prong.
In general terms, antique rings don’t fluctuate significantly in value. Some rare antique rings may even appreciate over time. Vintage rings for sale tend to be worth more than the sum of their parts because they are usually unique and come with a history. A new ring from a jeweller will have a significant mark-up and is likely one of many rings that are all the same. One of the wonderful things about vintage rings is that they are unique, special, and beautifully crafted.
