Vintage jewellery in the heart of London

An engagement ring is more than a piece of jewellery; it is a part of your love story. Just like your love story, it should reflect your uniqueness and romance. Often, it can be hard to find the perfect ring that truly represents your story. With new pieces of jewellery that are often mass-produced, it can be hard to find their character. However, with a vintage engagement ring, you get a symbol of your love that is often uniquely crafted, and that has the timeless beauty that never goes out of fashion.

Susannah Lovis specialises in Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco pieces that not only offer refined elegance and style but also from the precious metals and genuine gemstones that are used. However, these vintage engagement rings also offer something else; a unique history.

With a vintage engagement ring, your ring has character, a story and meaning that goes deeper than its aesthetic.

Historical Appreciation: There is an increased demand for clients who want their own slice of history with their jewellery. The idea of 'something old becoming something new' for brides is another nod heritage of marriage. When your ring has a history and a period style, it represents the love stories of a bygone era.

One Of A Kind: Often, vintage jewellery was lovingly crafted by talented jewellers without any form of mass production. For people looking for individual and unique style, a vintage engagement ring is a fantastic way to have a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery.

Heirloom Pieces: We are in a heyday of celebrating vintage history. Investing in vintage jewellery not only means your pieces begin with a story, but they can also become a part of your story.
