Victorian era Engagement Rings
There are four kinds of rings involved in a marriage, i.e. Engagement Ring, Wedding Ring, Suffering, and Enduring. But the first ring involved is that of the engagement ring. In this period it was said that the engagement ring must consist of a single diamond. However as the time passed by the people started thinking differently. This happened due to the scarcity of diamond. A lot of designs were being proposed and I would like to state that all of them were rather brilliant.
Below are the lists of some of the engagement ring design that was employed in this period apart from being employed still today with a lot of interest.
The list is as follows:
1. Victorian era Romantic rings This employed emerald, ruby as well as topaz. With the help of these colored stones the words like dearest as well as regards were inscribed on the ring itself. It really looked romantic as a result of which the brides simply loved such kind of rings. They were also less expensive as compared to the other rings.
2. Nineteenth century Half hoop rings After the year 1870, diamond was available in the market. Such ring consisted of a single diamond and the size of diamond employed deciding the cost. The designs of such rings are still popular as well as appreciated as the engagement ring.
3. Nineteenth century Snake ring The snake ring had been quite popular in this period. Every snake employed to resemble the perpetuity. You might say that it conveyed the message of infinite love to the beloved. As a matter of fact, Queen Victoria used to wear one such ring in order to express her love for Albert.
The aforementioned are a few of the general engagement rings that developed in the reign of Queen Victoria in this period. There era from the year 1837 to the year 1869 marked the era when diamond was not in abundance. However, in the year 1870 the South African diamond mines were opened and now diamond was available in plenty. This lead to the wide use of diamond throughout London and now it was easy to find diamond rings in the market.
Some of the great diamond rings are the three stone rings and the five stone rings. The early nineteenth century style diamond carved half hoop ring, costs around 1750 pounds and makes use of 18 carats of yellow gold. The number of diamonds made use of is five and is of 1 carat in total.
I would like to state that all these rings are made in London and you may make a direct order there. You will definitely like all the designs and order for one pretty soon. For order just dial 0207 193 4412 that is toll free.
