FAQs

Mid-century jewellery, particularly from the 1950s, often balances traditional craftsmanship with modern geometric influences, frequently featuring platinum settings and stepped or tapered shoulders to accentuate the central stone.

These rings typically utilise durable precious metals such as platinum or white gold, paired with high-clarity diamonds, often combining a prominent round brilliant or old cut centre stone with baguette or tapered side stones.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate hallmarks, specific prong-setting techniques characteristic of the 1950s, and the presence of hand-cut diamonds such as old European or early brilliant cuts rather than modern laser cuts.

A vintage platinum ring pairs seamlessly with both sleek contemporary plain metal bands and delicate diamond-set eternity rings, creating a sophisticated contrast between eras.

Preserve the piece by having the claw settings professionally checked annually by a jeweller, and clean the diamond periodically using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush to maintain brilliance.
