FAQs

Late Victorian jewellery frequently incorporated sentimental symbolism, often featuring combinations of opals, diamonds, and pearls set in yellow gold to reflect romantic and aesthetic movements of the late nineteenth century.

Authentic pieces from this period were typically crafted from 18-carat or 9-carat yellow gold and stamped with official British assay office hallmarks, indicating the town of testing, purity, and date letter.

Authenticity is determined through microscopic examination of hand-cut gemstones, traditional claw settings, assay office hallmarks, and natural signs of age-related wear on the gold band.

Antique rings can be paired with minimalist modern bands to highlight their historical craftsmanship or worn individually as a focal point against contemporary attire.

Opals contain natural water content and are softer than diamonds, requiring protection from harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, extreme temperature changes, and physical impacts.
