As for the engagement ring, it is in best taste when it contains only a solitaire stone -- either a diamond or a colored stone such as a ruby, emerald or sapphire, which may range in price from two hundred and fifty to two thousand dollars. Colored stones and diamonds, set diagonally are also worn; but not a pearl, as, according to the German idea, "pearls are tears for a bride." The initials of each of the contracting parties and the date of the wedding engagement are usually engraved in the engagement ring. The ring should be worn upon the same finger as the wedding ring, the third finger of the left hand, where subsequently the wedding ring serves it as a guard. The matter of presentation is a secret between the engaged pair.

Our wedding rings in 1974 ~ do we qualify as "vintage"?!?

And I'll leave you with this bit of wisdom, also from the Victoriana.com./library site:
The wedding engagement is one of the most charming experiences of a girl’s life, and she is wise not to let it be cut too short. The length of an wedding engagement must depend mostly upon outward circumstances. It is only a journey, of which the end must come sooner or later.

What fabulous vintage jewelry! All of them are so beautiful....I had to 'oooh' and 'aaah' over every single one.
I love the wedding picture cabinet cards too....I have quite a few of them in my personal collection ( I used them as table number markers for my own wedding!). I just love to look at the dresses, the flowers and the accessories.
Thanks for sharing!

This put me in the mood !! We have a family wedding some time in the future. I'm so excited, they dated so long I keep saying I'm mother of the couple !! Thanks, new follower.. Jules ♥
Some of the loveliest weddings were from the 20's in my opinion. Gorgeous cabinet cards and such beautiful rings. I have my great aunts engagement ring that I wear every day. Your daughter is such a beauty. Thanks for linking up with VIF! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, xoxo Debra
Your party sounds like so much fun...my daughter is getting married next month and everything around here right now is all about WEDDINGS!!! I'm lucky that I get to wear my MIL's vintage wedding ring (1945), but it would be even better if she was still wearing it...we lost her six weeks after our wedding...26 years ago. Coming by from Blue Creek Home.
Blessings,
Linda
I will take the Neiman-Marcus ring!
If you are vintage, so am I. We married in 1975...floppy pink hats and all!
Oh, mercy! Those rings are fabulous! I'm gonna have to nudge Mr. H ... lovely share, Stephanie.
Have a great eve.
Hugs, Marydon
Hi Stephanie!
I am so glad I can leave a comment. I have had so many problems with blogger lately, and it doesn't always let me leave comments. I love vintage wedding cabinet cards. I too wonder why they never smile. Hummm, I may have to google that. lol! Love these rings. I like the art deco one. Your daughter made a beautiful bride! Hope to join in the party.
Hugs,
Debbie

Your post is very nice. The wedding rings. Vintage engagement rings is very famous and jewels is very cute. I also love all those bride and grooms rings is nice and cute.
These elegant pieces of jewelry are fit for a princess and a queen. I'd be so happy if someone gave me those as a gift. You've both made your wedding days special through the rings. Congratulations for keeping strong. You are an inspiration to others.
Oh I just loved the old wedding pictures, and the ring, are amazing... great work.
Edwardian Engagement Rings are known for their ornate, delicate, and intricate designs. It is often described as a style of jewelry that is feminine and flowery. When it comes to Edwardian Jewelry, engagement rings have become some of the most coveted items with brides-to-be. Ladies that value the elegance of the era can truly appreciate the design and attention to detail that distinguishes Edwardian rings from today’s more contemporary jewelry.
