A Glimpse Into the 19th Century

The Victorian era wasn’t just about empire—it was about emotion. Jewellery became deeply personal during this time, and rings were often tokens of love, memory, or devotion. Early Victorian rings were romantic and nature-inspired, mid-Victorian designs introduced dark beauty with mourning jewellery, and the late Victorian period embraced light, lacy, and feminine styles.

From serpent motifs and seed pearls to turquoise hearts and ornate goldwork, each Victorian ring tells a story of the time in which it was worn.

Styles for Every Chapter of Love and Life

Victorian rings evolved with the Queen’s personal life—her love, her grief, and her golden years. Early pieces often featured floral designs and gemstones like garnet or turquoise, representing affection and friendship. Later rings embraced deeper hues and black enamel as symbols of remembrance. Toward the end of the era, you’ll see more diamonds, delicate filigree, and dainty silhouettes perfect for engagements.

Whether you're after a ring that whispers of love or honours the past, Victorian rings capture those feelings in precious form.

Crafted with Meaning, Meant to Be Worn

These rings weren’t just accessories—they carried meaning. Acrostic rings spelled out secret messages with gemstones. Snake rings symbolised eternal love. Claddagh-style bands, cameo carvings, and hand-engraved initials made each piece deeply personal. Crafted in rich yellow gold, rose gold, or silver, Victorian rings have lasting charm and unmatched detail.
