Antique Platinum Engagement Rings

The diamond engagement ring has been around for centuries, but it has only been in the past two centuries that it has gained its popularity amongst the general public.The increase in popularity of the diamond engagement ring began with the opening of diamond mines throughout the world around the 18th and 19th centuries, which brought the price of diamonds down to an affordable level.While gold is now the most popular of metals for such rings, such items as antique platinum engagement rings were once the sought after choice.Antique platinum engagement rings are again on the rise, as the precious metal of platinum is once again sparking the interest of the popular market.

Antique platinum engagement rings reached the height of their popularity during the Edwardian age, which ran roughly from the turn of the 20th century to 1915.The desire for platinum, declared by Louis the XVI to be the only metal that was truly fit for royalty, and the lowered cost of diamonds by the Edwardian Age, helped bring antique platinum engagement rings to become the most desired of engagement ring choices.Weighing twice as much as gold, the dense precious metal was seen, in all literal sense, to be the ideal symbol for the everlasting promise of love that antique platinum engagement rings were meant to purvey.

The popularity of antique platinum engagement rings carried on into the Art Deco era, which ran from 1915 to about 1935.After this, platinum for use as the precious metal of choice began to become supplanted by gold.In recent years, however, the jewelry world has seen a growing interest in all diamond engagement ring choices, including antique platinum engagement rings.Abazias is proud to continue with this tradition from a bygone era, and will happily create antique platinum engagement rings for your symbol of undying love and commitment.Feel free to contact us, and we will be delighted to lend whatever assistance is necessary to help you with a selection of antique platinum engagement rings, and the perfect diamond for whatever your final choice may be.
