The Prize

Don't miss the chance to be the owner of this unique piece of history!

These pieces are often very rare and precious and typically have a lot of history associated with them because of their age.

Betrothal rings were used during Roman times, but weren't generally revived in the Western world until the 13th century. Now, 80% of the women are offered a diamond ring to signify engagement.

The two central cabochon cut opals in this Victorian cluster ring from 1890 appear to keep duplicating.
