Initially bestowed upon Violet by her deceased husband, Edmund, the ring is handed over to the viscount at Aubrey Corridor in episode three, and it goes on fairly the journey earlier than lastly winding up on the finger of its rightful proprietor.
The ring’s journey begins when Anthony proposes to Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran) in episode 4, pushing apart his rising emotions for her sister, Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), with a view to fulfill the obligation of getting married and beginning a household.

Just like Daphne Bridgerton’s betrothal ring from Simon Basset in season one, Kate’s engagement ring prominently options pearls — six of them, to be precise — organized within the form of a flower. A bezel-set diamond-like stone is on the heart, and the split-shank band is gold and options intricate, curled detailing. The fragile piece of bijou is nestled in a tiny heart-shaped field that is much more romantic than the black velvet cubes of right now.
Although the “Bridgerton” costume designer hasn’t confirmed the which means behind the ring, the symbolism behind the sparkler is open to interpretation. The flower form is exclusive and certainly one of a form, similar to Kate’s persona. The eldest Sharma sister recurrently goes towards the grain for younger girls her age in England, collaborating in actions like searching and discovering her youthful sister a husband fairly than doing so for herself. Plus, the floral association of the pearls is correct consistent with the daring colour palette of her outfits.
In Julia Quinn’s “The Viscount Who Liked Me,” the e book that “Bridgerton” season two is predicated on, the Bridgerton household really has a group of a number of heirlooms, and Anthony chooses one for Kate that is described as “a fairly easy gold ring, adorned by a single round-cut diamond.” It is a fairly stark departure from what we see on the present, however that is not completely shocking given the many variations between the e book and TV collection.
