How Much to Spend on an Engagement Ring
Learn how to set a budget for an engagement ring. Discover average costs, personal factors, and how Avianti’s can help.
There’s something magical about jewelry that carries a story. Each vintage ring, pendant, or brooch holds memories of another era: of love letters penned by hand, candlelit celebrations, and gifts meant to last.
At Avianti Jewelry in La Cañada, our Vintage Jewelry Collection brings those stories back to life. Each piece is refreshed with modern craftsmanship, ethical materials, and that unmistakable Avianti flair.
Whether you’re a collector, a romantic, or simply drawn to timeless beauty, this is your invitation to rediscover elegance that never fades.
In a world at times obsessed with “new,” vintage jewelry stands apart. These are pieces with history. They’re not mass-produced, but lovingly designed and built to last.
When you shop the Vintage Jewelry Collection at Avianti, you’re not just purchasing jewelry. You’re receiving the Avianti Guarantee. You get Avi’s expert inspection, professional cleaning, and restoration guided by over 40 years of master craftsmanship.
Our master jeweler Avi knows how to honor the original artistry of every piece while ensuring it meets today’s durability and comfort standards. Sometimes that means re-soldering delicate prongs or reinforcing bands using advanced gold alloys. Other times, it means carefully resetting stones for balance and brilliance.
We don’t replace character with perfection. Instead, we preserve patina, highlight originality, and let each piece’s story shine through.
