A note on Victorian Diamond Rings: 

After 1870, when the South African mines opened, large diamonds became available for use in rings. Rings from the Late Victorian period are defined in a large part by their use of diamonds, cluster and marquise boat shapes, use of pearls, and light airy styles which were an inspiration for rings made in the upcoming Edwardian period.

Victorian engagement rings largely changed with the diamond rush- and diamonds of substantial size were not only used in engagement jewels (that tradition was, in fact, solidified by the DeBeers marketing campaign in the 1940's) but more commonly, in dinner + evening jewels.  

Please view and inspect any photos closely. We endeavor to fully disclose all condition information clearly and concisely, however, please note that what qualifies as excellent condition for historical jewelry differs from modern and contemporary pieces; please take the age of the piece into account when examining the piece. Minor age wear is typical and to be expected for antique and vintage jewelry.
