I liked the first one it was nice and casual and it didn’t look that expensive I
70s is my fav
My favorite is 1910 ring……. it is simple and beautiful
1920’s is where it’s at. Art Deco looks like something Vanna K would make.
2016 cake is horrible
What if y’all went way back my great grandmother’s ring is kinda like the first one but with more mini diamonds surrounding the mane diamond
the 1910’s and 20’s style were the best. The 1910’s was simplistic, yet beautiful, and the 20’s was just glamorous, it was a show stopper, not just a hunk of diamonds. The metal work was beautiful, it was amazing in the craftsmanship, not the cost of the diamond.
1970s
I got a freaking engagement ring as before this video started. And it was over 4:00 min. Thank god there was a “skip ad” button tho.
I want someone to look at me like a materialistic snob with lots of money would look at these rings
Will this fuck up my gaming reccomendations
20’s !!
20s and 80s were my favorites 🙂
I like the early 1900s styles. they were elegant, and classy. well proportioned not too much not too little.
whats the song of minute 1:06
1910 ,1970
I’m in love with the 20s style
What’s the name of the song that starts in the minute 1:05
what is the song on 1960s?
50 s
where them tiffanys
My favs were 1920 and 1990
I like how this shows the design differences between the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s… helps me date early vintage rings. 60s or later, the style is pretty obvious, though the 80s ring is surprisingly tasteful.
I like 1920’s
The most popular wedding ring is the ring pop. Its affordable and edible. A girl’s two favorite combinations.
I wonder how much those rings in the past cost today?
I’m defa 1910 and 1960 style classic and simple
20’s OMG!
the ring from the early 2000s is my engagement ring(we got married in 2001) but band is gold not platinum… my hubby made a very nice engagement ring choice☺
1910 :))))))
I was waiting for the hand model to have holo nails.
Love 1920s & 1950s
I liked the 1910s/60s the rest are too bulky
1980 ❤️
1940’s!!!
I love the 50’s! I also love the 80’s!
I liked 20’s style
My favourite is the 1910 ring: nothing flashy about it. Just a simple ring.. When my fiancée and I got engaged we just took simple silver rings with brilliants (the brilliants are only in her ring) and a simple wave pattern They are just honest rings of an honest design. It could be just the Calvinist Dutchman in me but I think flashy rings are ugly, they don’t really symbolise the strength of a relationship, it’s just bling and no substance.
Our years are the shitiest years
I love All of them my favorite One is the 1970 one like and relpy if you like the 1970
como se llama la canción que suena en el minuto 1:05
1950s I like the ring holder. And also I love your channel!
1975 ist der coolste
i think all of them are modern rings or maybe i am a fogy ☺
i love 60’s nd 90’s style
The first one was so pretty
