Marriage is an integral part of a human life as it instills a sense of fulfillment to both the groom well as the bride. Unfortunately, what precedes a marriage is an equally important, yet mandatory ritual, called the engagement ceremony. A Victorian Engagement Ring is perhaps the most sought after object in this unsaid expression of love. If we talk in detail, a Victorian engagement ring usually contains a single diamond of the highest value to which the generosity and means of the giver are capable of attaining. This ring is then presented by the suitor to his betrothed who then wears it in the ring finger of her right hand.

In the early Victorian Era, there was a scarcity of this precious stone, hence, people preferred to use either the old-cut or the rose-cut diamonds.  These rings were set with colored stones with smaller surrounding diamonds.

With the onset of commercial mining in South Africa, in the late eighteenth century, these rings became widely available and started being used for the purpose of engagement.

Of the numerous rings available in the market, the unique set of Victorian engagement rings is a class apart from the rest. Of the various rings on display, the Victorian romantic rings, with the words, ‘dearest’, etched on top are very popular amongst women. The stone used here is either, emerald, topaz, rube or amethyst. The others like, the half hoop ring and the Victorian snake rings are also much in demand .

Those who have plans to get engaged in the near future might like to try and get their hands on these beautiful items. These, as you all know, are the best means of expressing your love to your beloved.
