The term vintage jewellery covers many different periods of time, whereas antique jewellery is 50 years old or more. Among the different periods of time which the term’ vintage’ encompasses are Georgian, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian and Art Deco.

Georgian rings were made between the years 1714 and 1837. They were all handmade and incorporated nature themes such as birds and plants. They often used precious stones in their designs, and their rarity makes them both expensive and difficult to find.

Victorian jewellery was produced in the reign of Queen Victoria of England between 1837 and 1900. Victorian engagement rings used a wide range of gemstones including diamond, garnet, sapphire, peridot, onyx and amethyst. Yellow gold was very popular as a metal for rings of this period. In a similar way to Georgian rings, Victorian engagement rings often were themed on nature. Settings were made to look like leaves, with gemstones set to resemble a flower amongst the leaves. The snake or serpent ring was also popular, consisting of two snakes entwined representing the couple. The LOVE ring and the DEAREST ring were also very popular. These rings used the first letter from the name of each gemstone to create the words love or dearest.

Art Nouveau rings where produced from around 1895 to 1915. The engagement rings of this period often had designs based on flowers or butterflies and had a very feminine appearance with flowing curves.

Edwardian engagement rings were produced during the reign of King Edward VII of England from 1901 to 1910. The rings of this period frequently used platinum with filigree and millegrain work. Diamonds were popular in this era in addition to rubies and emeralds.

Art Deco jewellery was produced from the 1920s through to the 1940s. The rings of this period were quite big and bold, using large gemstones or large clusters of gemstones such as diamonds. Popular ring metals of this time were rhodium, palladium and platinum. Vintage Art Deco engagement rings are one of the most popular types of jewellery today.

Vintage and antique engagement rings can be found on sale at specialist jewellers on the Internet, or at antiques dealers and antiques fairs. Cheap antique rings are hard to find, but the quality of these rings is usually very high.

The Invicta Baby Lupah Watch is a smaller version of the standard Invicta Lupah watch. Unlike the regular Lupah, the Baby Lupah is more suitable to a smaller women’s wrist. Many of us simply look at a watch as a means of knowing the time, whenever and wherever they may be during the day. This basic need is all that most people are looking for, yet when it comes time to purchase a modern watch, they are instead bombarded with an overwhelming amount of features that does more to confuse them then help.

While many men are often comfortable with and may even directly seek out more features in sports watches, women most office do not want the added complexity offered in todays watches. With so many watches to choose from that offer a boat-load of features, it can be really difficult to narrow down one’s options to find a suitable watch item. With this in mind, Invicta created the Invicta Baby Lupah Watch, a stylish and fashionable watch, with Swiss Quartz movement, that could not be simpler to operate and use. Unlike the larger Men’s Lupah watches, the Baby Lupah is smaller and more suitable for petite wrists, with a case diameter of just 23mm, compared with the men’s which has a case diameter of 47mm!

The Invicta Baby Lupah watch makes a lovely casual item, and comes in a variety of extremely attractive and colorful dials and wrist straps. The stainless steel case harmonizes exceptionally well with the graceful design of the dial. The dial window of the Invicta Baby Lupah dial, shares the same style Arabic hour numerals as it’s larger Lupah counterpart, yet features the day of the month at the 6 o’clock position compared to just below the 3 o’clock. Unlike other watches in the Invicta range, the Baby Lupah is not a diving watch, but is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet) and it features Invicta’s tritnite illumination system that makes it readable in low lighting environments.

The look of this watch can best be described as retro, with hints of a modern design. It makes a great accessory for those who want to look good while out on the town or who want to look their best throughout the day time. While the Invicta Baby Lupah Watch resembles a much more expensive fashion watch, Invicta, true to their reputation provide the Baby Lupah at an extremely low price that can be afforded by all.
