How Much is a Victorian Love Ring?
- What is a Victorian ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Victorian rings are usually made with fine metals and feature impressive gemstones in ornate settings. The style of Victorian jewelry was defined during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837 to 1901). Early Victorian rings were large, brightly colored, and boldly designed, with gemstones such as bloodstones, chalcedonies, garnets, moss agate, rubies, smoky quartz and topazes. During the mid-Victorian period, the designs were more sophisticated, using gemstones such as opals, crystals, emeralds, diamonds, pearls, black glass, jet, and rubies. In the late-Victorian period, platinum became widely used in the jewelry of the era and replaced gold and silver settings for the first time. Find a collection of antique and vintage Victorian rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Yes, the Cartier Love ring is timeless. Following the immense success of the Love bracelet, a radical and provocative accessory designed for Cartier by Italian-born jeweler Aldo Cipullo in 1969, the French luxury house went on to produce earrings, necklaces and rings. (The Cartier Love ring was originally dotted with miniature faux screwheads that mirrored those of the groundbreaking modernist cuff before it.) It’s long been reported that the Love collection is the brand’s most popular and largest series, as Cartier has since augmented the line with cufflinks and watches, too. Shop a selection of vintage Cartier Love rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023What the Cartier Love ring symbolizes is a matter of personal interpretation. The ring is part of Cartier’s Love collection, which started with the Love bracelet in 1969, a piece inspired by the lore of medieval chastity belts. As a result, many people associate the Love ring and other pieces in Cartier's Love collection with protecting or “locking in” love. Others see the ring as a symbol of everlasting love in a relationship. Find a selection of vintage Cartier Love rings on 1sDibs.

On 1stDibs, find a selection of Cartier love rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023What finger you wear a Cartier Love ring on is largely a matter of personal preference. However, many people wear it on the ring fingers of their right hands.

- 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023Whether a Cartier Love ring will hold its value depends on a variety of factors, including how you care for and store it. Following the immense success of the Love bracelet, which was designed by Aldo Cipullo for the brand, Cartier went on to produce earrings, necklaces and rings. It’s long been reported that the Love collection is the brand’s most popular and largest series, as Cartier has since augmented the line with cufflinks and watches, too. Cartier Love rings are known to hold their value and some can even appreciate over time. However, because it can be difficult to predict how much something will be worth in the future, choose jewelry that appeals to you.

- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024No, the Cartier Love ring is not pure gold. Pure 24-karat gold is incredibly malleable and is vulnerable to scratching and breakage. Because of this, luxury jewelers tend not to use 24-karat gold. Instead, Cartier uses 18-karat yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. The alloy has an attractive appearance and is better able to hold up to the effects of daily wear. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Cartier Love rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023How many diamonds a Cartier Love ring has can vary. The French luxury jewelry house has offered different versions of the iconic ring over the years, with some featuring one diamond while some may have three diamonds or no gemstones at all. Shop a collection of Cartier rings from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Yes, you can sometimes add diamonds to a Cartier Love ring by enlisting the services of a professional jeweler.

The best-known piece in the Love collection, which was designed for Cartier in 1969 by Italian jeweler Aldo Cipullo, is the Love bracelet. Find a range of Cartier Love rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, many Victorians gave engagement rings to their fiancées. In fact, the tradition of giving engagement rings became more popular during the Victorian era due to the effects of the Industrial Revolution. The economic growth of the time led to the creation of a middle class that had the ability to save up for special purchases. At the same time, gemstones mined in South Africa began arriving in England, increasing the supply of precious stones and making prices more affordable. Explore an assortment of antique Victorian engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, you can wear your Cartier Love ring every day. The simplicity of the band and the unique screw motif allow the ring to work well for both casual and dressy occasions. However, you should always remove your ring before applying skincare products, showering or engaging in activities that could result in damage to the metal, like household chores and sports. Find a collection of Cartier rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023To tell if a Cartier Love diamond ring is real, look for the hallmarks on the inside. A genuine ring will have the Cartier name spelled correctly in the brand's iconic cursive script. You should also see a stamp representing the metal, and it should match what the ring is. For example, Au750 or 750 will appear on a gold ring, while Pt950 or 950 will be present on a platinum one. In addition, the hallmarks should include the size in millimeters and a serial number. When in doubt about authenticity, seek the opinion of a licensed appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. Explore a selection of Cartier Love jewelry on 1stDibs.
