American Gem Society: The Power of Love


The Nineteenth Century

From a Victorian Ladies' Magazine:

Just as the blushing dawn gives promise of the glory of the sunrise, so the betrothal ring, as the token of a pledge, serves to herald, as it were, an emblem that denotes the fulfilment of the vow.
The eight bridesmaids who attended Princess Alexandra of Denmark at her wedding with the Prince of Wales in Windsor in 1863 admire their present to the bride, a bracelet with their miniatures identified by their initials in diamonds.
