The Goldsmith at Chestnut Hill: Ring Styles

Traditional

Currently, the trending in bridal jewelry is focused on white gold or platinum bands for him and her - this includes Solitaire rings as well.

Antique

Rings must be at least 75 years old to qualify for being considered ‘Antique.’ They will typically have rose cut or miners cut diamonds, a large amount of milgrain beading and hand engravings.

Art Deco

Art Deco rings tend to have the same flare that Antique rings would have, but are instead crafted using modern tools with a ring that was created in the 20th century. They will also typically have a thinner bottom shank and a bigger head for the center stone.

Classic

Classic rings share many characteristics with Traditional style rings/bands, but additionally include Delicate Solitaire as well Delicate rings that have a thin shank and with side set stones.

Estate

Estate or previously owned jewelry and watches can be any style. Estate items generally offer very good value whether they be antique, vintage or current designs and should be carefully examined for wear.

Vintage

Vintage rings lie in the same spectrum as Art Deco and Antique styles: rings/bands will typically have a lot of hand engravings, milgrain beading, intricate metal work and many micro pave set diamonds.
