Explore Our Collection of Victorian Engagement Rings
Victorian engagement rings are tales from the past rewritten with modern spirit. They echo romance and take you on a mysterious voyage, like walking down memory lane. There’s a certain quiet in Victorian rings, their designs softly wrapped in structures where gemstones and diamonds are tucked in halos, and bands are carved with passion, like flowers pressed in a book.
Our collection bridges the old and the new and features 14K gold in all of its hues, 18K white gold, mixed metals and platinum. With filigree patterns and milgrain edges, and clusters arranged like constellations, our Victorian vintage engagement rings spin a fairytale.
Pairing Victorian Engagement Rings with Wedding Bands
Victorian engagement rings, known for their sentimental symbolism and ornate design, pair beautifully with wedding bands that highlight their vintage charm. To create a cohesive bridal set:
- Match the era’s aesthetic: Choose a wedding band with engraved floral or scroll motifs to complement the intricate details of a Victorian ring.
- Balance the metals: Most authentic Victorian rings were crafted in yellow or rose gold. Matching metals help maintain harmony, though mixing metals can create a modern vintage fusion.
- Mind the fit: Because many antique settings feature raised stones or elaborate shoulders, consider a curved or contoured band that nestles closely beside the engagement ring.
- Gemstone accents: Bands with small diamonds or colored gemstones, like sapphires or garnets, echo the sentimental and romantic spirit of the Victorian era.

Your Victorian Engagement Ring Buying Guide
Shopping for a Victorian engagement ring comes with several factors to be taken into consideration.
- The design: Choose between a complex design highlighting creative metalwork and special motifs, and simple designs synonymous with chic.
- The gemstones: Diamonds are the most coveted options for your Victorian engagement ring. But if you want to echo the essence of that era, remember that sapphires, emeralds and rubies were popular choices back then.
