Victorian Ruby & Diamond Double Heart Crown Ring | c.1880 | 18ct Gold | Silver on Gold

A charming and highly symbolic Victorian antique ring dating to the 1880s, crafted in 18ct gold and featuring the beloved Double Heart and Crown motif — one of the most romantic jewellery designs of the Victorian era.

The ring is fashioned in the traditional silver on gold technique, with a silver-topped setting enhancing the brilliance of the diamonds while maintaining the warmth and richness of the gold beneath. This construction was widely used in fine Victorian jewellery and is highly prized by collectors today.

At the centre, two entwined hearts are set with a vivid natural ruby and a sparkling antique-cut diamond, representing two souls united in love. Surrounding them is a halo of glittering antique diamonds, while a delicate crown above symbolizes loyalty, devotion, and enduring commitment.

The design carries the timeless Victorian sentiment:

Two Hearts, One Love.

Elegant, meaningful, and beautifully preserved, this ring is both a wearable piece of history and a wonderful collector’s treasure.
