Old fashioned vintage engagement rings from the 1920s were strongly influenced by advancements in technology and an increasing desire for strong geometric designs. This resulted in a cutting-edge style, featuring bold new cuts of gemstone and the more regular use of platinum as the preferred metal. Bright, bold gemstones were flanked by smaller diamonds, and other gemstones when creating vintage engagement rings, with three stone and cluster designs becoming exceptionally popular. Platinum was the preferred metal for 1920s rings, largely due to its strength, and icy white colour. Furthermore, the intricate metalwork details seen in 1920s vintage engagement rings were only possible because of platinum and its hardness. This has also contributed to the longevity of these rings, allowing them to remain in immaculate condition a century on!
The method of cleaning your vintage 1920s ring will largely depend on the type of ring. The safest way to clean any ring is to use a soft cloth and gently clean the surface of the ring to remove fingerprints or dust. For 1920s vintage engagement rings with diamonds, gemstones and an open back setting, combine warm water and mild soap in a bowl. Take a soft toothbrush to clean the ring, making sure to clean behind the setting. Rinse the ring well and pat dry with a paper towel. To keep your ring in immaculate condition, take your vintage 1920s ring to be cleaned professionally. This will also give your jeweller the opportunity to conduct a thorough check of the ring. We offer an annual aftercare service at Berganza, which is complimentary for life.
Bright, bold and colourful gemstones were extremely popular for vintage 1920s rings, particularly sapphire, opal, ruby, emerald, aquamarine and amethyst. 1920s rings also often feature diamonds, used to contrast against the brightly coloured gemstones.
