“There’s only so far new money goes,” says Taylor Swift, and though some might not like to admit it, she wouldn’t be wrong. These eight old money engagement rings bring that classy, timeless, slightly vintage aesthetic that so many seek but so few achieve. (Unless you’re an effortlessly chic heiress who already has all of these in your jewelry box!)
The Sabrina Ring (Oval)
Our gorgeous Sabrina ring is a fan favorite, and it’s not hard to see why. As far as old money engagement rings go, she is a perfect example, with a classy dainty halo, beautiful 2ct oval center diamond, and, most notably, intricate band designs and milgrain that show on three sides of the band, meaning that whether you’re looking from the top down or either side, your eyes will be treated to an elaborate display of elegance.
The Stevie Ring (Radiant)
Stevie is an old money engagement ring with style! Sitting squarely in the timeless solitaire category and boasting the prettiest bezel you have ever seen, this version also features a radiant diamond centerstone. Radiant diamonds have a modified brilliant facet arrangement paired with a pleasingly geometrical silhouette. The result is a slightly edgy shape with some serious sparkle! Her tapered band adds a gentle glide to the ring, emphasizing the brilliance of the diamond.
The Eri Ring
The Eri engagement ring is the queen of old money engagement rings! Her antique-cut, elongated cushion emanates taste and some regal combination of indulgence and restraint. (How is that even possible?) The dainty band yields all the attention to the diamond, and the antique cushion sparkles in such a unique way. Perfection! She’s pictured here with the Clementine wedding band, which is the perfect crowning adornment of this old money wedding ring.
The Billie Ring (Marquise)
Our Billie ring is a more metal-forward take on the bezel solitaire, with gold and diamond sharing the spotlight together. The marquise shape marries symmetry with a distinctive silhouette that has its place in the annals of jewelry history and is also enjoying current popularity. This timelessness places her solidly in the ranks of fresh, uncluttered old money engagement rings that radiate confidence. That boldness and self-assurance is a quintessential characteristic of the old-money aesthetic.
The Kathleen Ring
This intricately styled solitaire is graced by an Old European Cut diamond (OEC), which is a cut crafted to sparkle in candlelight. What could be more vintage and dreamy? This antique style of center stone, balanced with the ring’s romantic timelessness, creates a leisurely yet ornate feel that perfectly embodies the old money engagement ring. Its unique facets complement the engraved band, which is trimmed with classy milgrain borders. The sweetness of this ring lends her a fairy-tale romanticism that will never go out of style, like a cherished family heirloom.
The Isla Ring (Emerald)
With her haloed emerald-cut diamond, this old money wedding ring exudes class and casual opulence. Diamonds wrap around the band, and for an added layer of elegance, you can stack her with a matching Isla wedding band. Her scalloped milgrain accents are reminiscent of 1920s beaded dresses, adding to the old-money feel. These subtle, intentional details throughout the ring all work together to create a polished, put-together, and aristocratic look that anyone would envy.
The Kortni Ring
The Kortni ring is perfect for those who want an old money engagement ring with extra flair. Her simple, classic band perfectly accents the vibrant tapered baguettes surrounding the center stone for a confident, lively style that is chock-full of personality and brightness. Inspired by ethereal ballerina rings, this piece has classical roots and effortless elegance while still mixing in a dash of modern moderation. She’s pictured here with the Open Charlotte Wedding Band, which only adds to her radiance.
The Corrinne Hidden Halo Ring
Triple the diamonds, triple the charm! Unlike the other old money wedding rings on this list, the Corrinne boasts three drop-dead gorgeous diamonds. They could easily stand on their own, but why would they when they could each be ringed with a hidden halo that would take your breath away? These dazzling halos offer a playful pop of extravagance, augmenting a classy, clean design.
