Victorian Style Engagement Ring

Victorian Inspired Engagement Ring

From the side, this Carl Blackburn engagement ring reveals the kind of craftsmanship you only notice when the design is truly built in three dimensions.

The 2.52-carat marquise-cut diamond is lifted in rich yellow gold by graceful claw prongs inspired by antique European mountings, giving the center stone an airy, luminous presence and a distinctly vintage silhouette.

Just beneath that elegance, the gallery becomes the story: hand-cut scrollwork opens up the sides in a romantic, architectural sweep, adding depth, shadow, and a sense of old-world ornament. It’s a profile that feels refined and intentional — beauty not just on top, but all the way through.

Seen from the front, the ring’s vintage influence reads in a quieter, more tailored way. The marquise diamond’s elongated shape brings a flattering, lengthening line across the finger, while the warm yellow gold frames its brilliance with classic richness.

The shoulders are finished with crisp milgraining — those tiny beaded borders that catch light softly and give the band a distinctly period feel.

The texture adds definition without overpowering the center stone, creating a balance between sparkle and craftsmanship.

Together, the proportions, the engraving, and the milgrain finish make this custom design feel timeless — romantic, substantial, and made to be cherished for generations.
