    Choosing a wedding band isn’t just about matching your engagement ring—it’s about finding a piece that feels like an extension of your story. Our "Shop by Era" collection at Filigree Jewelers lets you step into different periods of design, offering bands that aren’t just crafted—they’re curated. Whether it’s a reproduction of an original vintage style or a sleek modern piece in 14k white gold, each ring brings its era’s flair to your finger. From the bold geometry of Art Deco to the clean lines of Mid-Century design, our bands set a standard that feels high quality, unique, and utterly personal.

    Vintage Wedding Bands

    Design: Vintage bands are like tiny time capsules. Think intricate gold wedding ring features, delicate engravings, and patterns that have been passed down through the ages. Crafted in a classic style, these rings celebrate the artistry of a time when jewelry was handmade, each piece bearing the fingerprints of its maker. Whether set in 18k or 14k yellow gold, these bands often include antique diamond settings that feel like they carry stories of their own.

    Perfect For: Vintage bands are for those who love a bit of history on their hand. They’re perfect if you’re drawn to unique designs that have stood the test of time, with ring features that echo a different era.

    Why We Love Them: Wearing a vintage band feels like wearing a piece of the past, crafted with the kind of detail that modern jewelry often overlooks. It’s not just a ring; it’s a connection to another time—an heirloom in the making.

    Art Deco Wedding Bands

    Design: Art Deco wedding bands are all about sharp lines, bold shapes, and geometric patterns that reflect the glamour of the 1920s and 1930s. These bands often feature a mix of metals like yellow and white gold, or even platinum, creating a striking contrast that sets them apart. Deco bands set with diamonds and bold gemstones aren’t just jewelry; they’re mini works of architecture, reflecting the high-energy spirit of the Jazz Age.

    Perfect For: Art Deco bands are for the ones who appreciate the balance of structure and sparkle. They work beautifully alongside solitaire or geometric engagement rings, making a statement without saying a word.

    Why We Love Them: There’s a confidence to Art Deco bands—a certain audacity in their design that feels both vintage and modern. It’s jewelry that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t apologize for it, making it perfect for anyone who loves a touch of drama with their diamonds.

    Retro Wedding Bands

    Design: Retro bands burst onto the scene in the mid-20th century, bringing with them a playful mix of color and boldness. These rings feature a lovely combination of oversized stones, sculptural gold, and the kind of vibrant design that demands attention. Often set in yellow or rose gold, Retro bands are for those who love a ring that’s more than just an accessory—it’s a statement.

    Perfect For: Retro bands are for the ones who believe a wedding ring should be as vibrant as the person wearing it. If you want something with bold 14k gold features, bright stones, or unexpected design elements, this era is calling your name.

    Why We Love Them: Retro bands are unapologetically fun. They’re the perfect mix of classic and cheeky, blending large stones with high quality metalwork that feels fresh, even today. They remind us that jewelry should bring joy, and sometimes, more really is more.

    Mid-Century Wedding Bands

    Design: Mid-Century bands reflect the sleek, streamlined ethos of the 1950s and 1960s, where clean lines and innovative design ruled. Often set in 14k white gold, these rings bring a modern twist to vintage sensibilities, marrying simplicity with a touch of artistry. They’re for those who appreciate the beauty of understatement—a wedding band that whispers rather than shouts.

    Perfect For: If you love the look of a modern ring in 14k white or yellow gold, but want something with a nod to the past, Mid-Century bands are a perfect choice. They’re ideal for anyone who wants a ring that feels current but timeless.

    Why We Love Them: Mid-Century bands capture the best of both worlds—vintage-inspired with a modern finish. They feel like a breath of fresh air, with clean designs that never go out of style. They’re understated without being boring, making them a perfect companion to any engagement ring.

    Modern Wedding Bands

    Design: Modern bands are the new classics, embracing the latest trends in jewelry design. Whether crafted in a choice of 18k or 14k white gold, these rings are all about sleek lines, unique textures, and innovative settings that break away from the traditional. They’re perfect for those who want something that feels fresh and distinctly today.
