'A heart content cannot repent

I do not repent I gave consent

No gift can show the love I owe,

What the heart saw the love has chosen…’

This beautiful inscription was engraved in Old French on a heart motif emerald ring given by a French nobleman to his beloved spouse-to-be in the year 1678.

History has witnessed innumerable ways of conveying what is undoubtedly the strongest of human emotions, and the world’s greatest poets have provided us with memorable poems of love in all guises and aspects, at all times and in many places. In his ‘April Love’, Lord Lytellton asked his heart ‘if this be love?’; William Wordswoth described his love as a ‘phantom of delight…a perfect woman with something of an angel-light’; William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett, her husband Robert Browning and innumerable other great poets also left us their overwhelmingly romantic heritage from which to cite for many generations.

The artists of the past enriched the language of poetry by adding ‘symbols’ as means of conveying romantic feelings. Jewelers of the 12th century found inspiration in the modest yet romantic rings handcrafted by Germanic tribes, depicting a heart engraved in non-precious metals, and centuries of evolution resulted in the introduction of sophisticated heart-motif rings frequently commissioned by courtly circles in France and England. An 18th century English betrothal ring with a most precious sapphire bore the following inscription engraved in Old English:

‘My heart is rejoiced for I feel , I could not have chosen better..’
