Victorian Sapphire and Diamond Double Heart Crown Ring

Few motifs are more romantic in Victorian jewellery than the double heart. This beautiful Victorian ring unites two entwined hearts beneath a diamond-set crown, one centred with a deep blue sapphire and the other with a sparkling pear-shaped diamond, all framed by old-cut diamonds in silver and 18ct gold. In the nineteenth century, double hearts symbolised two souls joined together, while the crown above represented loyalty, devotion and the idea of love reigning above all else. It is the sort of jewel that feels deeply personal, almost certainly given with great sentiment. What makes it even more romantic is the symbolism behind the gemstones themselves: sapphires traditionally represented devotion and faithfulness, while diamonds came to symbolise eternity and forever. Sapphires, the birthstone for September, have long been associated with sincerity and wisdom, while diamonds remain the enduring emblem of love and strength, making this combination especially meaningful in Victorian sentimental jewellery.
