Ethical jeweller Arabel Lebrusan and jewellery journalist Claire Roberts are delighted to announce the UK launch of The Vintage Ring Company. A sleek, user-friendly website selling affordable vintage and vintage style engagement rings, it features a diverse collection of covetable pieces curated by Arabel and Claire, all of which are priced under £2,000.

Identifying a gap in the market for budget-friendly vintage rings that you can buy online with confidence, Claire and Arabel joined forces in 2018 to build the newly launched platform. With Claire’s previous experience as Managing Editor of The Jewellery Editor and Arabel’s thriving website selling ethical jewellery to clients all over the world, they knew exactly what was needed: a clean, easy-to-browse portal offering insight into the world of vintage engagement rings, populated with beautifully curated close-ups and videos to show what pieces look like when worn.

Championing transparency and honesty with each purchase, The Vintage Ring Company provides the Certificate of Authenticity with each ring, issued and signed by The Goldsmiths’ Company and differentiating them from others in the market.

“This was very important to us right from the start,” says co-founder Claire Roberts. “For many women, a vintage engagement ring is the first piece of vintage jewellery they will own. This often makes shopping for a ring, particularly online, a daunting experience because you are never 100% sure that what you are buying is genuine. With our certificates, we are able to give our customers complete peace of mind. The certificate shows the size of the diamonds and gemstones, the carat count of the precious metal and the era in which the ring was originally made. It is our guarantee that each ring has been professionally assessed and is exactly as described.”

The website is divided into three sections: Antique Engagement Rings (pre-1940s), Vintage Engagement Rings (1940s-1970s) and Vintage Style Engagement Rings (1980s onwards). Arabel Lebrusan comments,

“while many of the rings are from the popular Edwardian, Victorian and Art Deco eras, there are also some mid-century classics alongside a selection of vintage style rings selected because they share the same charming attributes as their vintage sisters. All the classic gems favoured for engagement rings are featured, from diamonds to rubies, sapphires and emeralds. We are confident there is the perfect match for every couple”.  

Before they are added to the website, all rings are thoroughly inspected by a goldsmith, repaired where necessary and cleaned and polished. The Vintage Ring Company also offers a free ring resizing service and if you order by midnight on Monday you will have the ring by Friday, ready for that all-important question at the weekend… all you need now, is a ‘yes’!
