To Go with Antique Options or Modern Jewelry Beauty?

When choosing a piece of jewelry for someone that you love, or perhaps just someone close to you; knowing what they're into is key. However, when you do not have much to go off of, and you’re still not sure what they’d like, you can go with either an antique or modern jewelry option. Here are pros and cons to each, and some ideas on whether or not the special someone will love either one. 

Antique Jewelry Options

Antique jewelry is a favorite by many people, but sometimes it might not be the best way to go for some. When choosing to go with an antique diamond and setting then you should consider some of these facts about antique jewelry and choosing it for your purpose. 

• The settings tend to be more tarnished to give off the antique feeling, and less shiny. If she is one that loves shiny things, then modern might be the way to go. 
• Antique options provide more history, value and meaning in them. This can be ideal when wanting to give a ring that has been in the world for some time, and tells a story.
• Antique diamond cuts are less perfect and brilliant than more modern diamond cuts. They can be flawed, worn down but still provide beauty to the ring. 

Modern Jewelry Pieces

Modern jewelry pieces can be ideal when you are purchasing the piece for someone that loves large, beautiful, shiny and bright pieces. Not only are they able to be customized to her liking, but you can choose something that is just hers, and has only been hers. 

• Modern pieces are always cut to perfection, have brilliant settings you can choose from, while also allowing you to choose the diamond cut, size, clarity and other factors. 
• They provide a more updated feel to them, with shiny settings and large diamonds, if that is what she is into. 
• They are more bright, and come in various sizes, unlike antique rings which usually come in either very large, or small.
