The Vintage Ring Company
Bessie antique Edwardian diamond ring
Crafted in the Edwardian era, if you are looking for a romantic alternative to the single solitaire stone look, Bessie has the prettiest of personalities. Five Swiss cut diamonds – an antique diamond cut dating from the late 19th century – are set in a row upon the finger, encircled by an exquisite lace-like platinum setting with the prettiest of scalloped edges that is visible from all sides. With a soft curvature at the top to ensure the ring sits close to the finger, the setting is edged in in miniature millegrain detailing. This delicate beadwork – applied using a technique known as millegraining - is regularly seen in rings made in the Edwardian era, when platinum, which is much more easily workable than gold, was used in jewellery making for the first time.

We enclose a third party Certificate of Authenticity with every engagement ring.
We want you to be happy with your purchase and to know that what you're buying is the real thing, which is why we created our Certificate of Authenticity, which is unique to The Vintage Ring Company. It is our guarantee to you that any ring you see on our website has been professionally assessed and is exactly as described.
Signed and stamped by The Goldsmiths' Company, it will tell you everything you need to know about your ring, from the type of precious metal used to the size and quality of the gemstones. It will also specify the era in which the ring was made and even the year if it has been hallmarked as such.
They are also a lovely keepsake of your engagement that you can present to her - once you've popped the question, of course!
Packaging
Your ring will arrive elegantly packaged in a white box, branded on the top with a vintage-style wax seal, ready for you to propose. It will be accompanied by your Certificate of Authenticity, presented in a luxury white envelope.
Delivery
If you are not having your ring resized before you propose (find out why we recommend doing this afterwards here), your order will be dispatched as soon as your payment has been approved. Your delivery will require a signature upon arrival.
Kindly note: any duties and taxes incurred at the point of entry into a destination country are the sole responsibility of the customer.

Additional delivery information
To ensure our rings arrive safe and sound, all parcels must be signed for. Please ensure that your delivery address is somewhere you or someone close to you will be available to sign and pick up the package (i.e. home or work). If you are not present at the time of delivery, the courier will leave a note with details explaining how you can reschedule to pick up your parcel.
Delivery time will vary depending on whether you are having a ring resized and clearance of payment, and if your order is placed on the weekend or during UK holidays, delivery time will take slightly longer.

We request that all items are returned within the cooling off period (14 days after delivery), in the same condition as they were received, accompanied by the original packaging/Certificate of Authenticity.

We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
