Antique old mine cut diamond engagement ring recommendations in the NJ/NYC area
Hi everyone!
My partner and I are currently searching for the perfect engagement ring for me, and I’d love some recommendations.
I’m especially drawn to Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian pieces, with an old mine cut diamond. I also love high crown settings with an delicate open gallery profile and a lot of antique character/detail. I’m open to an original antique ring or an antique diamond reset into a newer setting that still keeps that vintage feel.
We’re located in the New Jersey/NYC area, so I’d really prefer jewelers, estate jewelry shops, or dealers where I can view rings in person. Recommendations for trusted people in the Diamond District or even social media sellers/local dealers in the area would also be greatly appreciated.
We’ve also been debating whether to purchase an antique diamond separately and create a custom setting, but I’m really sentimental about owning a piece with original history behind it. Any advice on where to shop or recommendations would mean so much thank you!
