Choosing Your Stone Type for Vintage Rings
Lab Grown Diamond Vintage Rings
If you want a real diamond with a modern mindset, lab-grown diamonds are a smart choice. They offer the same look and structure as mined diamonds. When paired with a vintage setting, they create a classic style with ethical value.
Moissanite Vintage Rings
Moissanite pairs beautifully with vintage designs. Because of its strong fire and rainbow sparkle, it reflects light much like old diamonds did under candlelight. In addition, it offers great value, allowing larger or more detailed designs within your budget.

Find the Right Carat Size
Our vintage engagement rings feature centre stones from 0.25 carat to 10 carat and above. Because vintage designs often include halos or accents, they appear larger without needing a big centre stone.
Popular carat choices for vintage styles:
- 0.50 – 1 carat – Suits delicate Edwardian and Victorian-inspired designs
- 1 – 1.50 carat – Balanced proportion for most vintage settings with accent details
- 1.50 – 4 carat – Classic presence for Art Deco geometric frames
- 4 – 7 carat – Statement vintage pieces with room for intricate metalwork
- 7+ carat – Bold vintage glamour with maximum impact
Vintage halo and cluster settings can make centre stones appear 15-30% larger due to surrounding accent stones and decorative metalwork.
