Edwardian Rings
&
The Antique Filigree Ring
Antique Edwardian rings were created in the reign of King Edward VII during the period of 1901 to 1910. During this era jewelry, furniture, and even clothing designs were characterized by a delicate elegance and light airy feeling which seemed to capture the carefree attitudes of this era. It is during this time that the famous filigree ring made its debut, and today an authentic antique filigree ring is truly something to cherish. Edwardian wedding rings were often very delicate, light, lacy, and feminine pieces. Diamonds and platinum were popular materials used to create rings during this era, and newer more fashionable cuts of diamonds became available. These newer cuts included the baguette, trapeze, marquise, and triangular cut.

Rings of this era are often defined by the use of platinum used to make the entire ring. This is the era when platinum became widely available not only as a setting for a gemstone but as an entire piece of jewelry. Large diamonds were especially popular and more accessible during this period, and Edwardian antique engagement rings have a stunning effect of being light and airy while holding large gems. Other gemstones popular during this era were amethysts, aquamarines, black opals, emeralds, garnet, pearls, rubies, sapphires, and peridot. Some designs of the Edwardian era reflected the influence of Art Nouveau circular lines and swirls, and others had more geometric styles; designs using stars, bows and ribbons were popular as well. If you are looking for authentic antique Edwardian period rings, or Edwardian antique engagement rings, look for experienced dealers which can offer verifiable proof of the ring's authenticity.
Keep in mind that platinum was the defining metal of this era while gold rings were only minimally popular, and the style was light and airy. Depending on the size of the ring and the gemstone used to create the ring, antique Edwardian wedding and engagement rings can range in prices from a few hundred dollars to well over $10,000 dollars.
