Fancy A Filigree Engagement Ring?

Antique, Art Deco or contemporary, a filigree engagement ring says you have style and elegance.

A filigree engagement ring is a very special piece of jewelry. By definiton, filigree means any delicate ornamentation on the mounting or band of your engagement ring. Usually filigree work is done in white gold, platinum or yellow gold.

If you are looking for an antique or vintage engagement ring, the likelihood is that it will have some finely detailed filigree work in the design. Antique filigree engagement rings are very popular nowadays and many soon-to-be brides love the intricate, lacy feel of filigree work.

Filigree engagement rings tend to be feminine and dainty designs, although some of the filigree engagement rings produced during the Art Deco period display a much more geometric and bold design.

The filigree work on an engagement ring can be as simple as a small amount of cutwork around the mounting of the stone, or it can be ornate and fancy. A beautiful example of intricate filigree engagement rings is Tacori-designed engagement rings. Tacori engagement rings often include very ornately patterned filigree work around the mounting as well as around the engagement ring band.

Contemporary filigree engagement rings use cutwork to beautifully display the central stone, or include finely crafted engraving around the band of the ring. Today's filigree engagement rings mimic the dainty, delicate designs of the past, but bring them up to date with the current trends.

Filigree cutwork on the band of your engagement ring often allows a hint of skin to show through, which many people like. It gives them a wonderful light-as-air feel and allows air to circulate which helps your finger breathe. But be warned, the intricacy of the pattern on filigree engagement rings can trap dust and dirt particles, so they need to be cleaned every so often to maintain their glow.

And be sure to have your vintage or estate filigree engagement ring checked by a qualified jeweler to ensure that the filigree work is stable, and that horror of horrors, you don't find half of your precious filigree engagement ring in the garden bed, or worse still, down the insinkerator!

Filigree engagement rings, particularly antique filigree engagement rings, are not necessarily for every day wear. They can be precious and special, and need to be handled with care. Just like the marriage you are about to enter into.
