All the ornate elegance of a tiara can be captured on your finger! Called a Duchess, Tiara, or Aigrette ring, this ornate style of ring began appearing in the early to mid-1900s. The Duchess ring reached peak popularity around the same time as actual tiaras during the Edwardian and Belle Epoque eras. Originally intended as an alternative engagement ring, they can be worn for any occasion!
