An ancient tradition, wedding rings have long been exchanged to symbolise the marriage and union of two people. Antique wedding rings come in a myriad of styles, widths and metals. Whilst many are perfectly paired alongside an engagement ring, they sometimes stand alone as a statement should you find a unique band that speaks to you.
Coming in a range of metals, from 22 carat yellow gold to platinum, rose gold and more, find a band which suits your style. Many of the pieces in our carefully curated collection are engraved wedding bands. From the geometric and faceted designs of 1920s rings, to elegant floral engravings with millegrain details, an engraved finish offers an added texture to catch the light, beautifully complimenting any engagement ring.
Immerse yourself in the world of gem-set wedding rings, with platinum diamond wedding rings, or a band of sapphires set in yellow gold. A wonderful opportunity to add some sparkle or colour, these mesmerising rings are truly one of a kind.
Should your desires lean more towards the classic, explore our bespoke wedding rings with court shape and D-shape bands in widths as delicate as 1.5mm to bold 6mm rings. With both mens platinum wedding bands as well as ladies, visit the Berganza showroom together and try on our array of wedding rings with our dedicated specialist.
Wedding rings that are over 100 years old are considered to be antique wedding rings, whereas if they are over 50 years old, they are considered to be vintage wedding rings. Choosing an antique or vintage wedding ring offers remarkable value, and they are more environmentally friendly, with unparalleled craftsmanship. These benefits, and many more, make antique and vintage wedding rings an exceptional choice.
We are proud to offer a wide variety of antique and vintage wedding bands. The most traditional choice would be either a simple gold or an antique platinum wedding band. Other options include posy rings, which offer a beautiful intimacy through written inscriptions, and the 20th century saw eternity rings, which feature gemstones and/or diamonds within the band, become popular. Your choice will likely depend on the engagement ring that the antique or vintage wedding band will be paired with, creating a set of rings that is unique to you!
To clean your vintage or antique wedding ring, create a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Dip a soft toothbrush into the mixture and gently brush your antique wedding ring. This is especially important if the band contains any gemstones! Rinse your antique wedding ring well and leave it to dry completely before putting it away. You should repeat this process once every month and take your antique wedding ring to a professional jeweller for cleaning once a year to keep it in the best possible condition.
One way to decipher whether an antique wedding band is real is to look for hallmarking, or metal stamps within the ring which refer to the composition of the metal. As it was not a legal requirement to hallmark all jewellery in the past, like it is today, we would also recommend purchasing an antique or vintage wedding band from a reputable jeweller who specialises in such pieces. A certified jeweller should issue a valuation for insurance with each of their antique or vintage wedding bands, so you can have confidence in the piece.
