Art Deco Details & Filigree Metalwork
The Belle Époque era (1871–1914) produced some of the most intricate jewellery ever made — defined by flowing organic lines, floral motifs, and extraordinary hand-engraved metalwork. Our Belle Époque Vintage ring honours this tradition with hand-engraved filigree worked by master craftsmen, each ring requiring over 40 hours to complete.
Filigree is the technique of working fine wires of gold into delicate, lace-like patterns. No two filigree settings are exactly alike — the organic nature of the process means each ring carries its own character. Set in 18k yellow or rose gold, the warm metal amplifies the romantic aesthetic of the cushion-cut diamond.
The Cushion Cut — A Victorian Favourite
The cushion cut dominated engagement ring fashion from the Victorian era through the 1920s. Its rounded corners and larger facets (typically 58, like a round brilliant) produce a softer, more romantic glow compared to the sharp, intense sparkle of modern brilliant cuts. For vintage lovers, the cushion cut is the most authentic choice — a shape with nearly 200 years of history.
Why Vintage Styles Are Trending
In a world saturated with identical solitaires, vintage rings offer genuine individuality. The filigree detailing, the period silhouettes, and the character of an antique-inspired stone make vintage engagement rings the most “instagrammable” choices in fine jewellery today. Our vintage collection pairs period aesthetics with modern lab-grown diamond technology — the best of both worlds.
