Here's Where Fashion People Get Vintage Engagement Rings

We're quite sure an engagement ring would be welcome at any time of the year, but engagement season is a thing, and we're in the middle of it. This time around, though, we're taking a break from engagement-ring trend coverage and how much to spend on a ring to talk about a type of engagement ring that'll always be in style: vintage.

Vintage engagement rings are perfect for the wearer who wants a bit of history with their bauble or who simply doesn't want to wear a ring that looks like everyone else's. The journey of shopping for a vintage engagement ring is a daunting thing to embark on, so we're here to help. We scoured the internet for sources that are filled with unique options from different eras, whether you're a fan of art deco, Victorian, Edwardian, or Georgian styles (to name a few). We ultimately narrowed it down to seven retailers that have the best assortment of fashion person–approved, one-of-a-kind rings.

Keep scrolling to learn more about them and shop our picks from each site's current offerings.

1. Trumpet & Horn

Downtown Los Angeles–based Trumpet & Horn's well-organized site divides its vast array of stunning rings according to era, making it easy to narrow the options down if you're partial to a specific style.

2. 1stDibs

An auction site, 1stDibs deals with "the world's most sophisticated collectors, designers, and curators," according to its webpage, so you know you're getting a quality product. The assortment of thousands of vintage engagement rings listed on the site is, frankly, mind-boggling.

3. Brilliant Earth

Brilliant Earth is another must-see if you want options. The site specializes in custom engagement rings, but its selection of vintage-style rings is quite strong, especially the art deco options.

6. The One I Love

The One I Love is another well-edited site with a small selection of cool girl–approved options separated by era. Be sure to follow its Instagram account for the latest arrivals at its NYC shop.
