Birthstones and nature inspired themes are prominent in pieces from the early Victorian period. In fact, Queen Victoria’s own engagement ring featured a serpent and an emerald. Vintage flower rings often include beautifully colored stones, a staple of the Victorian era. Thankfully, these rings were so loved that they spanned into other periods, and we come across them often enough to offer you a variety to choose from.
Beverly Hills
Diamonds might be a girl’s best friends, but flowers are definitely in her entourage!. With the Beverly Hills ring you get both! This beautiful, larger than life ring from the late Victorian era features a show-stopping center diamond, surrounded by a halo of 11 round diamonds. A simple 18k gold band allows the actual flower design to command most of the attention. Vintage flower rings are no strangers to diamonds, but Beverly Hills outdoes itself. If you are a fan of diamonds and are looking for a unique ring with charm and history, Beverly Hills might just be the perfect piece for you!
Bloomsbury
Also from the late Victorian era is breathtaking Bloomsbury. This ring also features a round center diamond surrounded by a halo of diamonds, however, it is more scaled back than the Beverly Hills. This subtler ode to nature features oxidized silver around the diamonds and a silver-topped rose gold band, adding to its antique look. Bloomsbury is a fabulous example of just how special vintage flower rings are. Gold, silver, and diamonds: when it comes to Bloomsbury, there is something for everyone to love.
Queen Victoria was very influential in the jewelry designs that were popular during her rule and thankfully some of these trends continued after her death and into the Edwardian era. However, new trends were being established as well. Platinum was introduced into many new pieces of jewelry, which made it possible to have more intricate detailing. Diamonds were also very popular during the Edwardian era, however colored gemstones still made an appearance. Jewelry was often light and delicate, and the era is noted for its feminine style.
Orchard Park
Vintage flower rings continued to be popular into the Edwardian era, and Orchard Park perfectly encapsulates the light, feminine style of the time. Diamonds are up front and center, with 10 forming an oval halo around the star of the show, a beautiful Burma ruby. The band on this ring is 14k gold, platinum topped, and features subtle detailing near the gemstones. There’s really not much else to say about Orchard Park—it speaks for itself!
