Edwardian Double Heart Ring with Ruby, Sapphire & Rose-Cut Diamonds | c.1910, Chester
POA
Description
There’s a special kind of romance in a double heart ring.
Made in England around 1910 and hallmarked in Chester, this one carries all the charm and sentiment you’d hope for in a piece like this.
Created in rich 18 carat gold, the ring features two gem-set hearts side by side: one with a ruby for passion, the other with a sapphire for fidelity.
Each heart is surrounded by rose-cut diamonds that glimmer gently in the light - a total of approximately 0.50 carats - soft and delicate, in keeping with the era.
The ruby and sapphire themselves weigh around 0.10 carats each, small but vibrant, full of colour and meaning.
Double heart rings have long been a symbol of romantic connection, with roots in Victorian jewellery and even earlier.
Queen Victoria famously wore a double heart ring from Prince Albert, and the design has been associated with enduring love ever since.
The shoulders of this ring are subtly scrolled, adding a flourish without taking attention from the twin hearts.
With its rich meaning, rare Chester hallmark, and delicate Edwardian proportions, this ring doesn’t just symbolise love - it quietly carries a history of it.
Ring Size N
