When it comes to vintage engagement rings, there are too many pros to count. Two of my personal favorites are one, they're a sustainable choice, and two, the craftsmanship of vintage engagement rings is unparalleled. Sold yet? Great. Just as it is with other vintage goods such as handbags and shoes, pre-owned diamond rings can come at a wide variety of prices. Some will have you feeling like you’re scoring a major deal while others are clearly a piece of history you’re investing in.
Curious to see the difference between a ring that costs a lot, let’s say $360,000, and one that costs $295? Then you’re in luck because we have rounded up the prettiest vintage engagement rings currently available at one of our go-to pre-owned retailers, The RealReal. From true heritage pieces of jewelry to more affordable dainty options, the selection ahead showcases the most stunning vintage engagement rings from most expensive to least expensive. While the first ring is definitely goals, the last one is just as good in our books.
