A Brief History of Dress Rings

Dress rings, as we know them today, have a rich and varied history that dates back centuries. Originating in the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Rome, rings were often used to signify status, wealth, and power. They were adorned with engravings and precious stones, serving not only as decoration but also as a symbol of identity.

In the Middle Ages, dress rings became popular among the nobility, especially during the Renaissance when they were elaborately designed to showcase intricate artistry and skill. Gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds gained prominence during this period, and rings were often passed down through generations, symbolising family heritage.

As we moved into the 19th and 20th centuries, dress rings evolved further, reflecting the changing styles and trends of each era. The Victorian era introduced romantic motifs, while the Art Deco period brought bold colours and geometric designs. 

Today, dress rings are no longer restricted to formal occasions; they have become a versatile accessory that complements a wide array of personal styles. Whether modern or vintage-inspired, Gillett's Jewellers offers a selection that pays homage to this rich history while embracing contemporary trends, ensuring that each dress ring is not just a piece of jewelry, but also a statement of personal style and heritage.
