Victorian Engagement Rings1837–1901
Victorian engagement rings from 1837 to 1901: old mine-cut and rose-cut diamond clusters, carved half hoops, three-stone and five-stone rings, and sapphire, ruby and emerald designs in warm yellow gold. Searched in the US as Victorian era engagement rings, and often paired with a Victorian wedding ring, they carry the hand-cut stones and sculpted shoulders no modern ring reproduces. Ring sizes are given in UK, US and EU. See all Victorian rings or our antique engagement rings.

Questions
What did Victorian engagement rings look like?
Most are yellow gold set with diamonds or coloured stones in clusters, half hoops or rows of three or five. Old mine-cut and rose-cut diamonds are typical, often set in silver so they appear whiter against the gold.
How can you tell if an engagement ring is Victorian?
Hand-cut stones, high hand-made claw or collet settings, carved or engraved shoulders and a British hallmark dated between 1837 and 1901 all point to the period.
What is a Victorian wedding ring?
Usually a band of 18KT or 22KT yellow gold, often wide, sometimes engraved or set with small stones. Many were worn above the engagement ring as a guard.
Can a Victorian engagement ring be resized?
Most can be resized by a skilled jeweller. Carved half hoops and full eternity designs have limits, and we confirm what is possible for each ring before you order.
