Jaw-Dropping Art Deco Vintage Engagement Ring

One-of-a-Kind 1920s Engagement Ring with HUGE 4.5 carat Cushion-Cut Diamond on RB.com

The most obvious reason to drool over this newly listed sapphire and diamond ring is that it is absolutely, jaw-droppingly spectacular. But buying a vintage engagement ring like this one is also socially conscious and Earth-friendly. Gold and diamond mining (even of “conflict-free” diamonds) are poisoning the environment and our global water supply with waste and toxins like cyanide and mercury. The elegant solution? A vintage engagement ring like this one.

My own engagement ring is an antique, and I always think that vintage jewels have a certain magic that newly manufactured bling lacks. New rings are machine-cut and -set, while ones like these were often handmade by skilled craftsmen. Vintage and antique rings are all about quality and character.

At $26,500, this diamond and sapphire stunner doesn’t come cheap — but it is well-priced for a ring of its size and quality. And it was listed here on RecycledBride.com by a reputable jeweler who’s known for the authenticity of her fabulous vintage and antique jewelry. Check other (more affordable; no less amazing) engagement ring options from the same seller here, here and here.

    You need think about it. Despite the emails, the overwhelming evidence showing global warming is happening hasn’t changed.
    “The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus . . . that tells us the Earth is warming, that warming is largely a result of human activity,” Jane Lubchenco, who heads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told a House committee. She said that the e-mails don’t cover data from NOAA and NASA, whose independent climate records show dramatic warming.
