Another way of owning vintage style engagement rings is to purchase them from a jeweler or at an auction. Jewelry that belongs to a famous family such as the Rockefellers are often found in auction houses. One must be careful when purchasing diamond jewelry at auctions. One must verify the jewelry as authentic. Often time, these items are sold as being from a specific era or as a classic piece. One should seek an independent jeweler to appraise the value and authenticate the jewelry.

Vintage engagement rings
are classic bands that have history of their own. Many stories are told about these items in families that have sentimental attachments to them. One story told by my mother is about a jewel handed down after the Civil War. It had been given to her aunt Julie. It passed down through the years.

A carpet bagger came through Mobile and took her wedding band. Her family tracked down the carpet bagger. They got the band back and did unspeakable things to him for taking it.
