My husband and I were lucky enough to see Bette Midler in the great play “Hello Dolly.” When the play was over, I was thinking about what a great time the early 20th century was. For jewelry lovers, like us, it was the time of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and Victorian engagement rings. Queen Victoria loved engagement rings in rose gold with beautiful mine cut diamonds, or precious and semi precious gemstones like rubies, emeralds, garnets and aquamarines. Master jewelers from the Edwardian era produced unique rings with beautiful filigree and milgrain engravings within metals such as platinum, while using center mine cut and european cut diamonds. If you love beautiful engagement rings which showcase elegant settings with conflict free diamonds and ethical gemstones, Edwardian and Victorian rings are simply stunning. Oh yes, we loved “Hello Dolly!” Here are five lovely antique rings from the early 20th century that you will love.
