Searching for an engagement ring that’s both timeless yet modern? A vintage style engagement ring could be the perfect choice for you. They’re romantic and totally on-trend (just ask celebs such as Mary-Kate Olsen, Olivia Wilde, and Emily Blunt, all of whom have vintage style engagement rings), yet they’re unique enough to stand out from the crowd. But that’s not the only reason why we love the styles featured, below.
While these vintage style settings are major ring goals, there’s also another reason why they’re on point: They’re 100% lab-grown, conflict-free and ethical, not to mention more affordable.
Lab-grown diamonds are one of THE biggest engagement ring trends happening right now, and it’s easy to see why. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but they are often priced 20-30% less than traditional mined diamonds. While the most attractive part about lab-grown diamonds used to be that they were practically identical to their natural counterparts, now couples are gravitating towards created diamonds BECAUSE they’re man-made. And considering you can often get a similar quality diamond—albeit a larger carat—for the same price, the decision is often much clearer.
MiaDonna is the first leading retailer of conflict-free engagement rings and fine jewelry. Established in Portland, Oregon in 2005, all of their jewelry is handcrafted in the U.S.A. featuring lab-grown diamonds, lab-grown gemstones and 100% recycled precious metals. The foundation-first company gives back a minimum of 10% of their net profits from every purchase to their charity foundation, The Greener Diamond, to help to build educational, mentorship, agricultural, and relief programs in diamond mining communities in countries such as Togo, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Africa. They are a Certified B Corporation as well, meaning they meet the highest standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. In short, they’re a diamond company you can feel good about, with styles that look worthy of a certain blue box.

Meghan Markle inspired the latest three-stone engagement ring craze, and we’re so happy she did!

It is flanked by two tapered baguette natural recycled diamond side stones as well as two small round diamonds in the gallery.
Editor’s Tip: Yellow gold is having a MAJOR moment. Be a trend-setter and opt for a two-tone setting that will go with both your gold and silver jewelry.

Looking for something more traditional? This romantic engagement ring features channel bead set natural recycled diamonds in a delicate milgrained band.

If you’re looking for a gorgeous engagement ring that works with your active lifestyle, the Crown could be a great fit for you, since the shank (the “band” part of the ring) is thicker and less delicate. Choose your ideal center stone to be placed in the “crown” head adorned with diamonds and milgrain. The sides of the shank feature channel bead set stones with 0.30ctw of natural recycled diamonds.

The delicate, twisted shank looks beautiful with small to medium center stones, but can accommodate larger ones as well!

We hate to pick favorites, but the Vivienne antique engagement ring has definitely won our hearts. It features an Emerald Cut center stone with three rows of 4/3/2 round cut recycled earth-mined diamonds on either side. Totally swoon-worthy, right?

Some might say you should save the best for last, and they wouldn’t be wrong if they saw the Grace vintage engagement ring. The epitome of antique style, the ring features clean lines to show off a Round Cut center stone placed within a unique flower design accented with natural recycled diamonds.
