Vintage Engagement Rings from Brilliant Earth Bring Old School Charm to Your Nuptials

The 1930’s platinum Naomi ring.

If you are a regular Eco Chick reader, you know that I have long been a huge critic of both diamonds and the “Wedding Industrial Complex” and as such, love to provide my readers with great alternatives to the traditional wedding ideas and products.

Brilliant Earth has long been providing ‘conflict-free’ new diamonds, and now the company is offering a selection of even Earth- and people-friendlier vintage diamond rings.

The lovely art deco “Florence” ring features step-cut emeralds.

According to the company’s site, “Most rings in the Brilliant Earth antique collection originate in the 1900-1940, with some pieces over a century old! At any given point, Brilliant Earth has over a hundred antique pieces on hand – and new pieces are constantly being added in response to the high demand.” You may want to visit some helpful places similar to www.antiques.co.uk if you’d like to find some antique collection items!

The Snowflake ring features vintage European-cut diamonds.

A ring whose carbon footprint and impact occurred a hundred years ago or more is always going to be less impactful than anything new, with the added bonus that your ring will be superunique and certainly won’t look like everybody else’s solitaire diamond engagement rings, since as you can see, the styles run the gamut, and are much more interesting and detailed than modern rings. Deciding to get Black Titanium Contemporary Rings could also be a good choice because the color will not change over time. The ring won’t fade, rust or corrode, either.

If you want to go even more eco-friendly with your engagement, skip the ring altogether (after all, it is a very modern invention, and a sexist one at that.)

The square, pave Lorena ring is graphic and timeless.
