ABOUT THIS RING

Few, if any, original Edwardian engagement rings come as fabulous as this rare, radiant and ravishing jewel, hand fabricated in platinum during the first or second decade of the last century. Sparkling front and center is a bright-white European-cut diamond, weighing 1.27 carats, accompanied by a GIA Diamond Grading Report, stating: I color - VS1 clarity. The light, lacy, feminine mounting glitters all around with single-cut diamonds set in individual foliate/heart settings and is finished with neoclassic hand engraving. A superlative sparkler, currently ring size 5 3/4. (Hayden Wheeler was a maker of fine jewelry based on Maiden Lane, New York, in operation from about 1850 to the early-1930s.)

How to Pair Your Wedding Band

You found your ideal, beautiful, one-of-a-kind antique or vintage engagement ring… and then realized that you need a wedding band to go with it. Pairing the two can be tricky, since vintage engagement rings rarely come with matching bands, and many modern bands don’t accommodate vintage shapes and designs. So we created a line of vintage-style wedding bands, modeled after original pieces from our collection.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
