Vintage Engagement Rings: There is No Right or Wrong Style

Vintage engagement rings are also very popular right now. There is something about antiques that is making its way back into mainstream society. Women and men alike are trending towards older looks, older styles of furniture and past traditions. Vintage rings usually have very ornate engravings on them. The bands are not plain and simple. Instead they have elaborate engravings and designs that keep your eyes busy bouncing from one area to another. Some women prefer the clean non-cluttered appearance of solitaire rings, but there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to diamond engagement rings!


Some women prefer three stone rings. These rings are very gorgeous and could be called show stoppers. There are three large stones that serve as the centerpiece for the ring and the center of the three is typically larger than the others. The bands are usually pretty simple and plain because there is just so much bling to be seen! If you want to make a statement with your ring, then maybe a three stone ring is just what the doctor ordered.

No matter which engagement ring style you choose, it should be something you love because this particular piece of jewelry is a symbol of your love for one another and the commitment you made to getting married. These are probably the most romantic pieces of jewelry (other than wedding bands) because there is so much meaning behind them.

Get Cash for Gold or Make New Jewelry from Existing Gold

Receiving cash for gold is just one of those things people are doing these days. You see the advertisements for the stores offering to buy your old, unwanted or broken gold jewelry and you may have even heard that a friend of yours did this with great results. This is a new trend that is sweeping the nation and is also a great way to recycle old gold into new creations for you to love all over again!


Many people have jewelry they have accumulated over the years simply taking up space in their jewelry boxes. They never wear it, but just cannot seem to get rid of it. If you fall within this category then a cash for gold store could certainly be beneficial to you. You do not have to necessarily sell your gold. Some stores offer you the option of recycling your old gold into a new creation. If you have a dated piece of gold jewelry that is not your style, you may want to look into melting it down and creating a new piece of jewelry that would be a more useful piece in your collection. However, you can always take the money and run, too!
