For those drawn to the elegance of another era, vintage and halo-style engagement rings offer a timeless sense of beauty, craft, and sentiment. With intricate detailing, soft curves, and a touch of old-world glamour, these rings evoke the romance of generations past — while remaining utterly captivating today.
At Appleby Jewellers, our vintage-inspired engagement rings are handcrafted with care in our Dublin workshop — designed for those who love romance, detail, and timeless elegance. From delicate milgrain edges to scalloped pavé bands and ornate filigree work, each ring is a miniature love story — rich in character and full of meaning.
Our signature Kate engagement rings are especially beloved for their soft, romantic beauty. Featuring a brilliant centre diamond encircled by a halo of smaller stones, this design enhances the sparkle and presence of the ring while evoking the grace of a bygone era.
