      What is Retro?

      “Retro” often alludes to design trends from the 1940s to the 1970s. During these decades, individualism was at the forefront of popular culture and forward-thinking design trends took center stage. From designs with distinct pre-war influence to the bold, free-spirited styles that emerged during the ‘60s and ‘70s, retro style is now celebrated for its unique sense of design.

      Design Characteristics

      When it comes to retro engagement rings, there is no one-size-fits-all description. With that said, there are certain design characteristics that are prevalent in these pieces:

      • Yellow Gold Reigns Supreme - Platinum was the metal of choice throughout most of the early 1900s. Although silvery styles will always remain relevant, yellow gold and white gold were the most popular choices for retro settings.
      • Glittering Gemstones & Decadent Diamonds - Diamond solitaires are always in-fashion, but many styles from this era embrace the beauty of colorful gemstones as well. Precious gemstones like rubies and sapphires were often paired with diamonds to create a dynamic contrast.
      • Modern Minimalism - Unlike the heavy, busy, and opulent designs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, retro styles often maintain a sleek, minimalist design.
      • Rich History - Many modern women will appreciate the way that styles from this collection mimic the look of the engagement rings owned by their mothers and grandmothers.
