Online auctions and the Internet in general have brought theworld home.

Authenticating a Vintage Diamond Engagement Ring

Finding a vintage engagement ring is one thing, but making sureit is truly and antique is another. A reputable jewelleryappraiser

can help. There are telltale signs and markings onjewellery that will tell the trained appraiser when and whereand by whom a specific piece of old jewellery was made. Eachsilversmith or artisan has a symbol that they will engrave intheir work to mark it as one of their own. Counterfeiters willtry to replicate the marks, but other design features will letthe appraiser know if this is the case in a particular antique.The appraiser can then give you a guarantee or certificate ofauthenticity to go with your vintage diamond engagement ring.

The setting and the diamonds will need to be examinedseparately. You may find a vintage setting with newer diamonds.This won't necessarily impact the value to you, but it wouldperhaps indicate that there were either several owners or thatthe person selling the rings as an antique may have changedstones. The number one consideration in choosing antiquejewellery is to make sure you really love it. There are usuallyno exchanges for vintage diamond engagement rings.
