About the Duchess Ring (Bague de Duchesse)
The bague de duchesse emerged in the 19th century, inspired by the elegant tiaras and coronets worn by European aristocracy. These rings were designed to echo the refined grace of noble headpieces, often gifted to celebrate love, status, or special milestones. Their playful yet regal form—miniature tiaras worn on the finger—made them beloved tokens of sentiment and symbols of femininity.
Today, duchess rings are highly sought after by antique jewelry collectors for their charming design, rarity, and strong connection to Victorian romanticism.
