I definitely love the 1920s... Anything vintage looking I adore!
Agreed!
Yes!
My favorite style too. However, it isn’t vintage - it’s antique. ❤
1910! Classic, simple and elegant! Mine is that style!
Rachana Ghosh ikr that one was my favorite... it was simple but beautiful

The most popular wedding ring is the ring pop. Its affordable and edible. A girl's two favorite combinations.
Preach 👏

I adore the Art Deco style of the 1920s ring. It’s just so detailed and delicate.
Same!!!
Same ! Definitely my favorite
Yes, the 30s too, incredible artistry when you think what tools they had.
SAME
Yeah that one was definitely my favorite
I liked the 20's style. it had more detail in the metal. it wasn't just a bunch of expensive diamonds.
I know! I love that ❤
Same
same
That's what I liked as well just a medium sized stone with detail on the band I hate the plain bands
And the 40s were to bulky
Am I only one who hate when gold and silver are mixed together? 😃
Great vid!
Same......... :(
i love your profile picture.
+Pandagod Dinckleberg Same sister 😄 Taylor is a freaking queen 💜
same here sister.
Eliza Bliza trust me sister u r not
Was I the only one shocked at how normal the 80's one was? They're usually crazy lol
Jenna Thompson But did you see how gaudy and extra the 70’s one was? I can understand why ppl were sick of over the top by then 😂
@@MissRoxyful the 1970's one was a better representation of the 80's. Rings were very gaudy.
When I think of 80's wedding rings, I think of marquee center stone with 3 layers of extra diamonds shaped like a fan or 'wave' of gold.
My mom’s looks like the 1980s one, but her and my dad got married in 1979
@@Krista2882 eh, it's one year away
am I seriously the only one who absolutely adored the 60s ring? )):
& the 20s intricately designed band was stunning asf
qt nope! I love emerald cuts. My e-ring looks really similar to the one they show for the 60s
I loved it. It was simple yet showed off in a classy way
Emerald cuts are among my favorites! But I do like side stones, so the similar 90s I preferred with the trillion cut side stones.
That's the only one I liked honestly
I love the 1910's its just so simple and pretty
shani jayasinghe it’s strange because it wasn’t until the 20’s that diamonds became massively popular for engaging jewellery
Me too
The 1960’s is my favourite! There’s just something about an emerald cut diamond, it almost looks 3D! 🤩
Because it IS 3d!?
Mine too. Simple, elegant, classic, timeless.
Me too! Mine is a single 1.03ct emerald cut diamond sitting atop a delicate white gold band an is absolutely stunning! My fiance recently proposed on July 5th ☺. I love you baby 🥰
What did you just say lmao🤣🤣🤣
@@karin9870 lol she didn't think this through😅🤣🤣
The 1920's ring was so pretty
gabrielle ikr
gabrielle agree!!!
gabrielle true i love it so much and hope my future will be like that
I agree
Yea.
The 1910s and 1920s were my favorites - nice and simple :)
Same:)
The 1910s one looked the most practical
felisa ang yeah I liked that one a lot
It was nice and minimalistic I think it was definitely one of the best
felisa ang that one was really simple!!
I don't know, the 70s one doubles as a knuckle duster, I think that's pretty practical
Same. I like the white gold look better, but I love the simplicity of it
In love with the 1910's ring, I don't want a rock, it's simple and sweet.
Agreed, it's my dream wedding ring with the gold band! I'd die of happiness
I agree
same
me too
Me too
The 60s was definitely my favourite ring: simple and elegant. I'd have picked a brilliant cushion cut, however, the emerald cut is lovely too.
did anyone else notice how effing amazing the 1920s ring box was?!
i knooooooow riiiight!!!! 😍
They should do a poor version of this.
Btw I'm poor
😂😂😂
it would be plain gold bands, maybe some candy machine rings too lol
same
+Patricia Patten lol
It's Joshua possibly a ring pop
The title should have been: 100 years of engagement rings for rich people who aren't as broke as me. 😭
True my boyfriend could only get me a $200 ring that's tiny as freak
darlin ur not alone
U don’t need to be rich to get the look.
@@boutiquebitcoin809 ur bf deserves better
I thought the diamonds in this video were unrealistically big. I've been to seniors home and the women wore tiny diamond rings
i love the 1920 box

1910//1980 was my fave so simple yet elegant 😍
Same!!
taylor swift and kpop Same
I like the 1920’s ring I like the designs of the ring
Me too Kelly.
1910's. Simple, elegant, and not over the top.
My favorite, too (:
I like the 1910, 20, and 80's the best. I'm a simple girl, so I don't like anything too flashy.
same
same
same
20s was quite flashy tbh
Less because of the stones though. Mostly it's all of the different angles in the band designs catching the light. The diamond in it is a lot smaller that you'd probably think.
I am to this day obsessed from 1920's - 1940's designs...they are the most beautiful to me. My engagement is inspired around those era.
My dad gave my mum the engagement ring that's been in his family for over 400 years
Sophie May 😍😍
Sophie May wow! That’s awesome! I’m surprised it’s not lost or something.
Wow 😍
Wow, must be pretty special 😍
Sophie May wow, that's, wow
1910 all the way. So simple, so gorgeous, it looks good with everything, easy to match with other accessories, absolutely timeless and not over-the-top, not bothersome to the eye - and compared to some of the really big ones, it's probably also very comfortable to wear.
exactly sy thoughts!
Yeah mine's like that. I picked an understated one on purpose so it doesn't date. I quite like all of them though but not so keen on the 70s one..
Clover Vaira aww, you are married. I am so happy for you, even though I don't know you hhh
Aww thanks. I got married a year and a half ago but I bet I'm a lot older than you ☺ I got married when I was 31.
Clover Vaira
yes, I'm 14. I still have a little time to marry hehe
My favorite ring was the 1910 on its so pretty to me here’s the time I saw it 0:09
Couldn't agree more, just love the simple elegance of it ❣️🌸
diamonds from the past appear to be of better quality than what we see today.
because they had more diamonds, diamonds are a finite source so back then they could afford to be overly nit-picky with the perfection of a diamond
They only cut the best diamond rough.
Diamonds are not scarce, it's a false market "supply" started by De Beers to increase the value of the stones. Same with the idea that they are an "investment," which is also untrue. Not saying people shouldn't love them or buy them, but know that the economics of the industry are mostly fabricated as a marketing ploy. In fact, if you learn more about the economics of diamonds with eyes wide open, it will likely allow you to get a much bigger diamond for cheaper than you might have imagined. Economists like myself might be stereotyped as boring or nerdy, but that doesn't mean we don't like sweet sparkles! I'm trying to pick my engagement ring at the moment and will probably go with Moissanite since they are (in my opinion) superior to diamonds and I get more bang for my buck, but I've also purchased diamonds and understand why people adore them!
Monklyn, I don't know where you're coming from. Nobody said diamonds were scarce.....diamonds were better in the past. Better quality. That's all I'm talking about.
Fuzzy Navel Xobek's comment that diamonds are scarce is what I was replying to; however, the idea that diamonds were better quality in the past is also false. There are huge amounts of held back stock of all various qualities (both old and new finds) and uncut rough stones, plus ongoing mining and new deposits being discovered. The idea that somehow 'past' diamonds were 'better' doesn't hold up to scrutiny, it's just that more people have additional funds to purchase lower quality gems while the best stones are so expensive they are comparatively rare. Ask a jeweler to find you top notch loose stones and they will be happy to get you any quality/size you want, within reason.
My favorite was the 1910's one. Simple, small and delicate.
just realised they even changed the nail paints to match the decade! wow!
I wish they did these videos all the way from the 1800s because I’m obsessed with the 1860s
Angel Engagement rings weren’t really a thing back then. Diamond engagement rings only became super popular in the 1930s because of DeBeers.
Back then it was
Man: wanna get married
Woman's parents: I approve
And church bells are ringing
starkidgranger3eva
They meant the "100 Years of..." series in general, not just this video in particular.
Nokia was made at that time
i liked the 1920's style... I'm not sure why
mine is exactly like that :)
+Mode I have an idea, you can do 100 years of kids fashion. that would be cool
+Bravado 24 yea I guess, that's a good idea..
It's beautiful
I like it so much too
OMG that 1930s’ ring is just unique, also the 2010s is definitely something
1920 is actually really pretty
i agree❤
I like it too. Love the design of the ring
60's and 90's were beautiful and classic. love
Emmaline yeah! You get to see the beautiful gem clearly without the side distraction.
1910s was so elegant and classy as well as minimal which i would love to have for my engagement.
I agree with you! My engagement ring is exactly the same but it is an Oval cut.
the 1920 is beautiful. i like the shape.. like, i don't like when the band is thin and then there's a diamond on top. it has to blend kinda (?).
i hope this makes sense lol
and i like the 1940 one too
Vittoria I totally agree with u
agreed!
I have an engagement ring from the twenties and it runs seamlessly from the band into the diamond (there's no bump up)
Vittoria I agree yep!!!
I love the early 1900's rings, but my favorite is the 2010's one! 😍 And the 1960's nails are gorgeous!
1970’s is definitely my style! The diamond cut above all the others really cute!
i'm focusing to those beautiful ring cases...
yes, i am weird
me too, I love the boxes they came in!
SAMMMEE!!!
I feel like ring cases are so underappreciated. I'm planning on proposing to my girlfriend next year. She loves everything vintage, especially the 1920's. So the ring I'm getting her is a 1920's inspired ring, and I bought an actual vintage (circa 1930's) ring box. It's got a couple minor cosmetic flaws (because it's 80 years old and made from a material not used anymore, celluloid), but it fits the style of the ring and it just felt like a personal touch.
Patricia R Aww goals!
Lps CryBaby Aw, thanks. :) I feel like proposals should be personalized to the person you're proposing to. I originally tried to find an actual vintage ring, but a lot of the reasonably priced vintage rings were... not very pretty. So I figured a vintage inspired ring that I could buy from a reputable designer and get all of the certifications on that was shiny and beautiful with a real vintage box would be a good compromise. Etsy is a great resource for vintage ring boxes if you're ever in my situation. ;)
I love the attention to detail with even her nails being painted in the decade's style!
2000 or 1910 or 1980's simple and elegant.
100% with u
Absolutly. But my favorite of all is the 1960s one
I have one like the 80’s….very blessed by a wonderful husband
I was gonna say 1910, but 2000 just destroyed me with the pretty diamondy band. I like the shiny ;-;
+Mode mode in latvian mean's fashion
+mmiishu star Same in dutch:)
I like 20's and 2010's.. but I guess when a guy proposed to me one day, I won't be choosy then. LOL
Bella Cruz 20's and 40's.
Bella Cruz same 😂😂
Bella Cruz those were my favorites too
Oh dear, the moment I realize my engagement ring is totally on trend for this decade. I’m officially basic.
Finally something the 80s did right.
yes!
workout clothes were decent!
so true
rriiiigghhhttttt????
Jammy, Music?
Definitely 1960, Emerald cut is my favorite
80's ,10's ,2010's rings are simple and elegant 😍😍
Who knew anything from the 80’s could be elegant and sleek!
The 1930s ring was so beautiful and unique! But 2010s is still my favorite
1920s and 2000s!!! I love All the detail and sparkle
I like the ring and the box from the 20s the best. Gorgeous!
Am I like the only one who loved them all?? like DAMNN😍😍❤
How cool was that ring box from the 1920’s ring?! Definitely my favourite ring too 💜
My favourite was the 1920 ring for sure!
1910 and 1930! Simple, yet so beautiful!
1960’s love Emerald cut. Classic and elegant.
i love how the nails went through the generations too
1910s and 1980s were the best
True
+Μαρία Διαμαντοπούλου agree :)
The same ;)
+Μαρία Διαμαντοπούλου exactly
I agree with you. Simple but cute.
1920s and 2000s are definitely my favorites 😍
1910 was my favorite..... Simple but elegant
I'll take a solitaire of any cut anyday. Definitely my favorite style of ring. 💍
Absolutely..
I'm in love with the 2000s ring . It not to much just right.
20's and 2010 were STUNNING!!!
Same the 2010 was my favorite out of all. Not to say the rest are beautiful. But if I had to pick it would be the last one.
I love the 1920. Not too big, but not too small either. And amazing details!
i appreciate that this video is 3 mins instead of dragging it out to make a ten min video
For once, the 80's wasn't so hideous.
I found you!
Well that's not a classic 80's ring. It should have been a pear shape diamond on a gold band.
That is funny :)
HAHAHA IKR
The first ring from 1910 was the best by far. It's so elegant and the big ones are pretty garish to me.
I thought so too! It was so simple and pretty
+Hermione Smith Potterhead???
+Momo Zhou always
How exactly was the 60s one garish and large? Or the 80s, 90s and even 2000s and beautiful understated and simple
I love 1920s and 2010 rings 😙😙
We have the same taste
I like 20s more
Same
I liked the 1980s because it was just small and simple
SEMR 101 wtf, 1910 is Small and simple, 80's seems To be big
If that’s real diamond, that ain’t no small and simple price tag LOL
I gotta say, I do like the hand walk at the end.
We were each other's first kiss, the first time I spoke with her it hit me like a freight train. She was a wholesome shy single child, but when she opened up she showed her incredible humor, amazing creativity, and most valuably that her soul was more beautiful than I thought possible. I knew then at 16 that in a few years when we're both old enough, I had to ask her marry me. We dated for a almost a year and her family moved away. I had plenty of girls trying to date me after they found out I was single, I dated a few but none of them made me feel the way she did, I turned down all the girls trying to date and gave up on finding love. Then she appeared unexpectedly on my junior year orientation, I turned the corner and my chest sank, she smiled and like she never left she wrapped her arms around me and nestled her head in my chest. We've been dating since she came back, I'm now almost 20, and she's in her senior year. I never want to lose her again. I've had an unsent letter written to her parents asking for their blessing, and think about how I'm going to ask her every day. We don't see each other as often due to conflicting schedules and stuff, but there's nothing I'm more certain of, I have to ask her to marry me.
Cute
When you are able to ask her, keep in mind that you don't have to have expensive things to impress her. My engagement ring was $70 at Wal-Mart in 2013. It's not the ring that mattered to me; it's the man and meaning behind it. It's been almost 7 years this April since we got married, and we're still going strong. Good luck, and best wishes!! :)
1910's is so beautiful and simple
yeah yeah 1920 was cute but did y'all see that 1930 ring !?
LMAO yeah so cool 😎
But during a depression
2000s one is my favorite. She is gorgeous and elegant. Not to simple and not too much fancy.
I like non-traditional rings. My dream ring would be a rose quartz stone in a rose gold or gold ring~
Yeah
I would love a sapphire or something that's not white, something blue...
That's what I have, except it isn't blue, it is a purple sapphire with tanzanite stones on the wedding band. White stones are so boring!
I want a rose gold ring with a heart shape rock!
I love the idea of a nontraditional ring and Sapphire is my birthstone. But just a FYI alot of gems arent hard enough to sustain daily wear like a diamond.
The 20s and 30s had it goin' on! :D
My favorite is the 1910’s. My ring looks almost identical, because it’s from the same era. The high setting makes it stand out beautifully! ❤️ I love vintage.
The case for the 20s one was so cool.
For some reason I can't choose, they're all gorgeous and unique.
I liked the 1910 one a lot because its simple but so elegant
I must be extra because I love the 90s engagement 💍.
I am happy and thankful that I am proposed to with this ring ♥ lol
I like the 1910, 1960's, and 2000
Me too
I had a very specific ring in mind when we went engagement ring shopping, but if I couldn’t have gotten my first choice, I would have absolutely LOVED a vintage 1920’s ring, they are beautiful!
I wish there were captions describing exactly what made each decade unique
same :v
my thoughts, exactly. the differences are negligible to someone who doesn't know much about rings.
***** I love the 1930's style! It was so unique!
All I know is that in the 1920's the type of jewelry that was very popular was called Art Deco.
All of the are so beautiful
them
1910s 😍
I want plain gold or rose gold solitaire band and a round small diamond. 1910s was thr best by far!
I loved the 1920's ring!
I think every decade has like a "sister" decade. The 80s had the 90s, the 60s had the 70s, and 2000s has 2010s.
Leggo My-Eggo So true. 00’s and 10’s, 20’s and 30’s, 40’s and 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. You can feel it in the air. 60’s have more in common with the 70’s than the 50’s, and 70’s with 60’s than 80’s. Btw love your nickname!
I love princess cut. I actually clicked on this video cause I saw it on the thumbnail. It was the 2000s that caught my eye. I love it!!
Mine looks like the one from 1910 - it's an amazing timeless classic 😉
The 2010 ring is my favorite. It has a „royal princess charme“
My ring is vintage and it looks just like 1910. Jewelers always tell me it's from 1890-1920 so i am so excited to see it here!! ❤️❤️
1960s so simple and classy omg😍
I have my great grandmother's 119 year old wedding ring. No diamond, no glam, but still has a "intricacy" that I cannot figure out. Maybe just the places it has seen.
I was kind of surprised to only see diamonds make an appearance, engagement rings of other prescious stones used to and still are popular
My husband had a ring custom made for me. It has a trillion amethyst solitaire and it's gorgeous!
@@jeniwatkins3297 I love trillion cuts... They have amazing sparkle.
Dear god please take me back to the 1920s
women and minorities had no rights.
Haha :) Me too! In 20' and 30' my country was growing up after the 1st World War ;)
Marcy Are you kidding me?! The 20's is when women got their rights and didn't have to wear to-the-floor ballgowns. The style, the music, the boom of oil and money AND the rights for women all came in to play.
