Vintage wedding rings are the perfect heirloom-to-be, because their regal designs have stood the test of time. The ring you and your future spouse choose is more than a symbol of your marriage, it’s a piece that will one day be an integral part of your family history. There are typically five styles of vintage wedding rings or vintage-inspired rings to choose from: Georgian (1715 to 1830), Victorian (1830 to 1899), Edwardian (1900 to 1915), Art Deco (1920s and 1930s), and Retro (1940s and 1950s). So if you come across an Edwardian-style ring, for example, it’s either from the early 1900s, or it’s inspired by the styles most popular at the turn of the century.

As you define your personal style, you’ll be able to hone in on whether the glam colors of retro rings are your perfect match, or whether you prefer the intricate detailing of Art Deco rings. Whether you and your long-term significant other are finally ring shopping, or you’ve been married for 20 years and are scouting an anniversary ring, these vintage wedding rings (or vintage-inspired rings) will take your breath away.
