HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: 19th-century wedding rings were highly influenced by the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria. Victoria and her husband Prince Albert. They had a legendary romance that influenced all aspects of 19th-century art and design. This sentiment led to elaborate wedding rings with their own romantic twists. Flowers were used to convey messages of love and admiration, with different flowers having different meanings. For example, ivy represented fidelity, while the forget-me-not signified true love. This now famous Victorian "Language of Flowers" was extended, naturally, to wedding rings. Many wedding rings from the 1800's featured decorative floral elements.
