While many celebrities today are trying to top one another with the largest, most perfect stones for their beautiful brides-to-be, some celebrities are opting for a more unique look with vintage or vintage-inspired engagement rings.

Vintage engagement rings are perfect for a non-traditional bride who wants something a little bit different. The diamonds featured in these rings are different than modern cut diamonds. They were often cut by hand and designed to sparkle even in very dim lighting.

And, the detail and ornate design of vintage rings was often crafted by hand. That's what makes these rings truly one-of-a-kind!

Vintage engagement rings are not only unique but they also are a great way to save some money rather than buying a completely new and modern engagement ring. So, we've pulled together some of our favorite celebrity vintage ring looks with comparable rings that are much more affordable for the average person.
