How to Buy a Vintage Engagement Ring Online – A Guide by Wave Antiques

An engagement ring is more than just jewellery – it’s a symbol of love, commitment  and a future heirloom. At Wave Antiques, we understand how meaningful this purchase is and are here to help you find a ring as unique as your story.

1. Research the Jeweller

Always begin with researching the jeweller. Look for transparency, customer reviews, and detailed information about each piece. At Wave Antiques, we specialise in hand-selected vintage and antique engagement rings.

2. Ask for Extra Photos and Videos

We’re happy to provide additional photos and videos upon request to help you visualise the ring in different lights and angles.

3. Get the Right Ring Size

We include accurate UK ring sizes on every listing. If unsure, visit a local jeweller to try on similar styles, or contact us for advice.

4. Set a Budget in Advance

Decide your budget early so you can focus your search. Vintage rings often offer better value than new ones – with superior materials and unique design.

5. Involve Loved Ones

Use your wishlist to involve your partner or their friends in the process. It’s easy to share links or browse together online.

6. Think About the Wedding Band

Consider how your engagement ring will pair with a wedding band. Some settings require shaped or curved bands for a seamless fit.
