A Real Benefit of Reusing and Restoring Vintage Wedding Rings

Traditionally, diamonds are part of the engagement ring and wedding bands in Mount-sterling, IL are simple bands that complement the engagement ring, but if you are like a majority of women, you probably love the appeal that diamonds have on the Pompano wedding bands. Some vintage wedding bands are going to feature diamonds, while others may not.

One of the best things about vintage wedding rings is that you can be assured that any diamonds that are featured on the band did not finance war crimes. If you watched the movie Blood Diamond, you know exactly what we are talking about, and you may even be against purchasing diamonds in today’s war conflicted world due to watching it. Nearly ¼ of the diamonds on the market today came from scenarios like the one that you saw in the movie, and if you serious about world politics, this may be a sensitive topic for you as you consider your Mount-sterling, IL wedding band options.

Conflict-Free Diamonds for Your Pompano Wedding Band

As a side note, if you are planning on purchasing a diamond wedding band in Mount-sterling, IL, but do not want to help finance those warlords and their businesses, you can ask the jeweler that you are buying from where their diamonds come from. Most jewelers are very aware of where their diamonds come from. If the gemstone yields from Australia or Canada, you do not have to worry about it, because those types of wars are not occurring in those countries. However, if the diamonds yield from Africa, there is a chance that it came from a war scenario.

Here, at BC Custom Jewelry, we ensure that we only use conflict-free diamonds in our Mount-sterling, IL wedding bands. Of course, like we mentioned, if you want us to restore or rejuvenate a vintage wedding band in Mount-sterling, IL, you don’t have to worry about purchasing new diamonds unless the ring is missing a stone on the band.

The Beauty of Vintage Wedding Bands

We understand that the antique or heirloom jewelry that you bring to us carries a significant amount of sentimental value. You can trust us to take care of your antiques and heirlooms as if they are our own. We obviously will not perform any work on your jewelry unless we have discussed it with you in detail and are sure that you are completely satisfied with the new design or restoration plans.

If you are unsure about the era that your vintage wedding band in Mount-sterling, IL came from, we may be able to help you figure it out. Each different jewelry era was defined by specific features and styles of jewelry, so we can usually tell you whether a piece came from the Victorian era, the Edwardian era or the Art Deco era, if you are interested in learning about the history of your wedding band in Mount-sterling, IL.

Diamond Cuts

Vintage rings were made in times when technology was not as advanced as it is today. Therefore, the cuts of the diamonds will not be as precise or symmetrical as a diamond that you would purchase today. We can either leave the cut of your vintage Mount-sterling, IL wedding band as-is or create a more perfect cut that provides more sparkle due to the facets and angles that are created.

In addition to the changes in ability to cut diamonds with more facets and angles, the standards of color have evolved over time, too. Have you ever seen rose, yellow or even green tinted diamonds? Today, a bright white diamond is graded as the highest quality, whereas many, many years ago, women were more attracted to the different hues of color that diamonds came in, therefore a vintage ring may have that yellow, pink, or green hue, which made it a real treasure in its time. Most of the newer wedding bands in Mount-sterling, IL will feature bright white diamonds today.

As you can probably tell by now, we not only love to custom design, craft, restore, and rejuvenate jewelry, but we also like to educate our customers on their vintage jewelry. If you need someone to do custom work on a vintage or antique wedding band in Mount-sterling, IL, BC Custom Jewelry is the place to come.
