The Laings Journal
Vintage jewellery holds a certain allure. Each piece comes with its own magical story and has a mystical history attached to it. Vintage pieces are always original and exude individual character, truly allowing you to stand-out. You can find beautiful styles from the Art Deco, Edwardian and even Victorian periods, with each era having its own distinct look.
Vintage chic is on the rise and is a popular choice with fashionistas! Our collection is updated regularly and we recommend keeping an eye out for some truly spectacular one-off pieces. By taking inspiration from the glamour of a bygone era you can create your own exclusive look!
Art Deco
Art Deco is characterised by its sharp lines and contrasting sumptuous curves. It’s all about different shapes and geometric patterns. Take inspiration from Gatsby’s Daisy Buchanan and the spectacle of the roaring 20’s.
LAINGS 18CT WHITE GOLD 0.80CT SAPPHIRE CLUSTER RING
The distinct design of this ring is what gives it its Art Deco feel. The centre diamond is surrounded by a unique arrangement of deep blue sapphires, creating an intriguing shape. This central arrangement is then enclosed by a diamond halo adding a touch of elegance. This glittering piece wouldn’t be out of place at a riotous Gatsby party!
Edwardian
Edwardian pieces are often decorated with garlands, ribbons and bows. Hailing from the Belle Époque (the beautiful era) the pieces have an undoubtedly feminine air to them and are pretty, elegant and even elaborate.

The delicate and intricate bows on this necklace are typical of the period. The graceful vintage piece is adorned with glittering diamonds and luxurious pearls and the sweeping design perfectly reflects the style of the Edwardian era. It’s a wonderful necklace, with its intriguing design hiding the secrets of its stories.
Engagement Rings
With a vintage engagement ring you’ll never see another one quite like it. It’s perfect if your bride-to-be is a fan of a little retro-styling and has a taste for unique jewellery. Carry on a historical love story with a vintage engagement ring!
LAINGS VINTAGE PLATINUM 1.84CT OLD CUT DIAMOND RING
Old cut diamonds are rare as they are often cut into more modern styles. Dating back to the late 19th century this is a unique piece of jewellery history and a treasure to own. The breath-taking 1.84ct centre diamond is surrounded by a sparkling halo of diamonds, creating an engagement ring that you won’t find elsewhere.
Traditional
For years brooches have been traditional pieces in a jewellery collection. Worn on coats and scarves they add a hint of vintage chic and they were even spotted on the Mulberry catwalk to complete their heritage looks. Brooches are making a comeback!

From the early 1900’s the old cut diamonds in this brooch give it a real vintage feel. The central diamonds are arranged in a delicate flower shape and for even more glitter extra diamonds spread out in a star-burst effect.
