What characterises Edwardian era gemstone solitaire rings?

Crafted between 1901 and 1915, Edwardian gemstone solitaire rings typically feature prominent central stones held in multi-claw settings made of gold or platinum, showcasing refined metalwork and classic symmetrical proportions.

What materials were typically used in early 20th-century zircon rings?

Early 20th-century zircon rings commonly paired natural high zircons with 18ct yellow gold or platinum settings, utilising double or quadruple claw mountings to secure the substantial gemstone.

How can authentic Edwardian zircon solitaire rings be identified?

Authentic pieces from this period often bear historical gold hallmarks, display hand-cut gemstone faceting with distinctive double refraction under magnification, and show light wear consistent with age around the claw settings.

How can an antique gemstone solitaire ring be styled with modern attire?

A large antique solitaire ring serves as a focal statement piece when worn alone on the index or ring finger, complementing contemporary tailored evening wear or minimal monochrome outfits.

How should high zircon and yellow gold jewellery be cleaned and maintained?

Clean zircon and gold jewellery using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the stones facets or alter the metals finish.

Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique Edwardian 10.90 carat high zircon and 18 carat yellow gold solitaire ring; part of our collection of gemstone engagement rings.

This stunning, fine and impressive Edwardian engagement ring has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold.

This substantial antique gemstone ring displays an impressive and large claw set 10.90ct round faceted cut high zircon.

The elevated, pierced decorated ring shoulders integrate with the main setting and blending seamlessly with the ring shank.

The ring is hallmarked to the interior of the shank with the 18ct gold mark (18CT) and has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 carat gold.

This impressive antique zircon solitaire ring is supplied with an IDGL gemstone grading report card.

NOTE: * A high zircon is a natural zircon which has not suffered damage from self-radiation during the process of the stone's creation; their gemmological properties are higher for density, hardness and refractive index. The zircon has high lustre and dispersion, in addition to the appearance of extra facets facilitated by double-refraction; each of these factors provides fine brilliance and flashes of fire.
