"One of the alternatives to buying a brand new engagement ring is to buy an antique engagement ring. My name is David Kruger; I'm with Kruger's Diamond Jewelers in Austin, Texas. There are a few things you really need to consider if you are going to buy a genuine antique engagement ring. I would be sure and have someone at the store give you some kind of guarantee as to the wearability of the ring. Take a good close look at it under magnification to see diamonds or the stones are all well secured by the prongs. Also to make sure that the shank, which is the bottom part of the ring, is thick enough to be worn for many many more years. The other alternative to buying genuine antique engagement ring is to buy an antique reproduction, which there are many of today in the market and offer an alternative because it will give you the antique look, but without the wearability problems of an older ring. So, those are some of the things to consider when buying an antique engagement ring."
