Why Victorian & Edwardian Inspired Engagement Rings Are the Ultimate Timeless Choice

When it comes to choosing an engagement ring, many couples are looking for something more than just sparkle — they want history, romance, and individuality. At Fogal & Barnes Fine Jewellers in Harrogate, we’ve seen a growing demand for Victorian and Edwardian inspired engagement rings, especially when set with natural old mine cut diamonds.

The Romance of Victorian and Edwardian Jewellery

The Victorian era (1837–1901) was all about sentimentality, romance, and intricate details. Engagement rings from this period often featured old mine cut diamonds, colourful gemstones, and ornate metalwork.

The Edwardian era (1901–1910), on the other hand, brought elegance and sophistication. Platinum became the metal of choice, with designs showcasing delicate filigree, floral motifs, and refined diamond settings.

By blending these influences, today’s Victorian and Edwardian inspired engagement rings feel both timeless and fashion-forward. They’re perfect for couples who love the idea of owning a ring with character and enduring charm.

Why Choose a Victorian or Edwardian Inspired Ring?

  • Unique Details: From hand-carved bands to delicate settings, no two designs feel alike.

  • History Reimagined: Old-world romance with a modern twist, making them wearable every day.

  • Natural Diamonds: At Fogal & Barnes, we specialise in GIA-certified natural diamonds, never lab-grown, ensuring authenticity and value.

  • Future Heirlooms: A Victorian-inspired engagement ring doesn’t just symbolise your love today — it becomes part of your family story tomorrow.
