TGIF, y'all! Today we're featuring five of our favorite vintage cluster rings from the Victorian era. The cluster style (also known as halo engagement rings) is characterized by a larger center stone surrounded by smaller stones. In the rings that we have chosen to feature, all of the stones are diamonds, but it is not uncommon for colored gemstones to be included in cluster engagement rings as well! The style was popularized during Queen Victoria's reign. During this time, diamonds and colored gemstones were cut by hand, and couldn't achieve the same brilliance that modern, laser-cut stones have, but boy, do these rings sparkle! The halo engagement ring was designed to achieve maximum light reflection and a large presence on the hand. Vintage cluster rings are some of our best selling and most popular offerings and we just can't get enough of them! Check these out below!
