At their wedding,
In the famous 'Outlander' novel, Jamie gives Claire a silver ring which is described in the book as “…a silver band, decorated in the Highland interlace style, a small and delicate Jacobean thistle bloom carved at the centre of each link…”.
It makes more sense in the book, because Claire left Frank's ring on during the ceremony and that's why she wore Jamie's father's ring (and later her silver wedding band) on her right hand.
When the Romans conquered Greece, they picked up on this tradition and began using iron and copper rings in marriage ceremonies. The iron rings sometimes had key motifs to symbolize that the wife now had control of the household goods. By 2nd century CE, however, most rings were gold.
Eventually, Jamie reveals why he'd given Murtagh one of his mother's candlesticks last episode: He'd asked him to fashion a new wedding ring for Claire, with an inscription that translates to “Give me a thousand kisses,” a reference to their special poem.
Claire's wedding rings consist of one gold ring, given to her by her first husband, Frank Randall, and one silver ring, given to her by her second husband, Jamie Fraser. From the time that she marries Jamie in 1743, Claire wears the silver ring on her right hand and continues to wear the gold on her left.
Claire was able to travel through time thanks to the Otter Tooth stone. Otter Tooth, who was previously known as Robert Springer, was a time traveller himself who was determined to fight against the European settlers on behalf of his people the Kahnyen'kehaka.
"Vintage" refers to anything at least 20 years old, while "antique" refers to anything at least 100 years old. When it comes to engagement rings, "vintage" usually signifies the ring's style rather than its age.
Sourced from a tiara that once belonged to Prince Philip's mother, Queen Elizabeth's ring features a round 3-carat center stone flanked by clusters of smaller diamonds (10 total) and is set in platinum.
Gold is the most common and classic choice for wedding and engagement rings—and for good reason.
Wigs, perms, and hot rollers help shape Claire's historically-accurate hairstyles. Regardless of Claire's on-screen age, wigs were incorporated into her hair and makeup protocol to achieve the character's look.
This is dysentery. Claire tells everyone that a contaminated water source most likely caused it, but after funeral upon funeral — the body count is high! — no one can seem to figure it out. And then Claire falls ill.
Usually wedding rings are worn on the right hand. In some countries, however, they are worn on the left hand, like in France, Italy, Sweden, Scotland and Belgium.
He escaped, but the English pursued him and brought him back to the fort, where he was flogged with one hundred lashes for escaping.
Initially, Jamie was flogged for stealing something. He also refused to give into Black Jack Randall's advances. That's when he's flogged again. However, he does consider giving into Black Jack Randall to save himself, but his father turning up stops him from doing that.
The haircutting was part of the process. Malva wanted to make Claire undesirable. She wanted to make Jamie turn to her instead of to his wife. We can get a sense of that from the way Claire worried about Jamie seeing her with the short, jagged hair.
According to royal expert Lisa Levinson, the only jewelry Queen Elizabeth II will be buried with will be the Welsh gold wedding ring she received at her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947 and a pair of pearl earrings.
However, the Queen was buried with a small handful of her most treasured and personal jewellery. Lisa Levinson from the Natural Diamond Council believes the late monarch was buried with only a few pieces of jewelry.
Prince William ultimately used his mother's ring to propose to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Prior to this tradition, it is believed that Queen Victoria was buried in 1901 with her striking 18-carat ring.
Jewelry professionals can identify the time period of a diamond by examining the shape and facets of the stone. Diamond cuts have evolved from early old mine diamond cuts to today's brilliant-cut diamonds. Trained professionals will be able to analyze the diamond to determine its approximate age.
Whether you throw your wedding ring away in spite or continue wearing it for years after your divorce, there is no prescribed way of dealing with when to ditch the ring.
New diamonds are about thirty percent more expensive than older diamonds. Also vintage settings cost around one-half of a new setting since it is pre-owned. Another reason why vintage engagement rings are less expensive is because they are less likely to carry the same markup common with newer jewelry.
What does Lallybroch mean? Lallybroch is the ancestral home of James Fraser and it translates to “Lazy Tower”.
So. We also know that Claire had a gold ring on her first journey, and gold and silver rings on her 2nd and 3rd journeys. Brianna had a silver bracelet and the gold roundels in the pearl necklace on her first journey. It's possible that these metals play a part as well.
But then — BUT THEN! — Claire's necklace turns black, signaling that Master Raymond slipped real poison into the cup.
