Antique and vintage jewellery is no longer reserved for special occasions. From old cut diamond rings to elegant gemstone earrings, these pieces can become part of your everyday wardrobe, bringing individuality and character to even the simplest outfits.
At Hatton Jewels, we believe beautiful jewellery should be enjoyed and worn. Our collection of antique and vintage pieces jewellery offers a wonderful opportunity to introduce exceptional craftsmanship, distinctive designs and a little history into your personal style.
Here are some of our favourite ways to incorporate these pieces into your everyday look.
Everyday Diamond Rings with Character
Diamond rings are amongst the most versatile pieces in any jewellery collection. Antique and vintage designs offer an alternative to contemporary styles, often featuring distinctive settings and traditional diamond cuts.
Our Old Cut Diamond Five Stone Ring is a beautiful example. Crafted in 18ct yellow gold, its five old European cut diamonds create a classic design that works particularly well as an everyday signature piece. The warm gold setting makes it easy to pair with other jewellery.
For those who prefer something more understated, our Vintage Old Cut Diamond Solitaire Ring features an approximately 1.00ct old mine cut diamond. Unlike modern brilliant cuts, older diamonds are known for their distinctive facets and softer sparkle. This gives each stone an individual character that is particularly appealing to collectors.
Another interesting option is our Old Cut Diamond Two Stone Wave Ring. Featuring two old European cut diamonds in a crossover design, this piece offers something different from a traditional solitaire. It makes a beautiful standalone ring and can also be styled alongside simpler gold bands.
Adding Colour with Antique Gemstones
Introducing coloured gemstones is an easy way to make your everyday jewellery more personal.
Sapphires, in particular, have remained popular throughout jewellery history, valued for their rich colours and exceptional durability.
Our Antique Natural Cabochon Sapphire Cluster Ring dates to the 1920s and features a remarkable 4.80ct natural, unheated sapphire surrounded by old cut diamonds and smaller sapphires.
Its distinctive cabochon cut gives the central gemstone a smooth, rounded appearance, while the surrounding stones add further detail.
Although a more substantial piece, a statement ring like this can work beautifully with a simple outfit. Pairing an elaborate antique design with understated clothing allows the jewellery to take centre stage without appearing overly formal.
Vintage Earrings for Day and Evening
A beautiful pair of earrings can make a considerable difference to an outfit, and vintage designs offer plenty of opportunities to experiment with different gemstones, shapes and periods.
Our Aquamarine and Diamond Drop Earrings offer a fresh, contemporary option within our pre-owned collection. Crafted in platinum, the pale blue aquamarines are complemented by brilliant cut diamonds. Their elegant 20mm drop makes them suitable for both daytime engagements and evening occasions.
For those drawn to historical jewellery, our Antique Natural Pearl and Diamond Drop Earrings are particularly special. Featuring baroque natural pearls and old cut diamonds, their individual shapes and traditional craftsmanship give them a character that is difficult to reproduce.
Natural pearls are increasingly sought after, particularly in antique jewellery, where surviving examples can be exceptionally rare.
Diamond earrings are another timeless choice. Our Vintage Old Cut Diamond Drop Earrings, dating from the late 1930s, feature approximately 3.47ct of old European cut diamonds. Their elegant proportions and Art Deco influences make them an excellent choice for those who appreciate vintage design but want something versatile enough to wear regularly.
