Where to purchase your vintage wedding ring
If you are going to markets for your vintage wedding band - be extremely careful. Some dealers at markets may have retail outlets too, these are the most reliable of the dealers and you ought to not purchase your wedding band from anybody who is just a stall holder.
If you are going to buy your ring from a store, then there are two types of stores. There are vintage or antique stores and there are jewellery stores. Jewellery shops will have benchmarks and experience in every type of jewellery. Antique shops will not have experienced jewellers working their, employees in these places will probably have less knowledge than you.

A word of caution
Just because a ring has survived along time it doesn't mean that it is durable. Before buying your vintage wedding band it is well worth giving the structure as well as the design a good look. Seek out places where it has been repaired. Check that all the stones are firmly in place and that they match. You should look at any jewellery containing gemstones in natural light also, as they could look different and flaws can often be observed that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.
Overall, don't hurry into purchasing what you are unsure about and be absolutely sure about the person you are buying from; with these basic aspects covered I am sure that you will find the perfect vintage wedding ring.
