Searching for engagement ring inspiration online isn’t anything new. We romantics don’t even need to be in a prospective relationship to admire and appreciate these sparkly love knots. In fact, we might even already be married — or have absolutely no interest in marriage at all.
Regardless, for me, my searches are currently based on personal taste and sentiment. There’s nothing quite like imagining the fanciful history of a 1920’s platinum diamond ring. It certainly leads my whimsy in a direction no new ring ever could. Sure, if I was actually in the market for an engagement ring, my search might expand to “vintage-inspired” or “repurposed” rings, but for now, I’m all about authentic antique engagement rings.
Here are some of my current favorites:
