FAQs

Victorian rings, dating from 1837 to 1901, often reflect romantic symbolism, intricate metalwork, and the use of natural gemstones such as sapphires, rubies, and old-cut diamonds set in yellow gold or silver-topped gold.

These pieces were typically handcrafted from carat gold, frequently featuring hand-carved shoulders, closed or open-back settings, and hand-cut gemstones secured with delicate claw or collet settings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut facets characteristic of old European or old mine cut diamonds, natural gemstone inclusions visible under magnification, and signs of genuine age such as minor wear and historical hallmarks.

An antique ring adds historic character when worn as a standalone statement piece or stacked thoughtfully with minimalist modern bands to create a textured, contrasting look.

Antique jewellery should be stored separately in soft pouches, kept away from harsh ultrasonic cleaners or chemical solutions, and inspected periodically by a professional jeweller to ensure stone security.
