Happy Friday! Today we are featuring five of our favorite rings from one of our very favorite periods in jewelry: The Edwardian Era. Spanning about 1900-1920, the Edwardian era produced some of the most beautiful and intricate pieces in jewelry history. Advances in metal fabrication allowed for the use of platinum in jewelry, an extremely workable yet strong material that could be handcrafted into the feminine, lace-like designs you see below. The era also saw the rise of the enhancement technique milgraining, where small decorative platinum beads were added to to magnify the ring's elegance. We are featuring five of our favorites below, but are proud to have an extensive collection of vintage Edwardian engagement rings at Trumpet & Horn. Be sure to check out the rest of them here!
