Jewellery from the 1950s frequently featured platinum or white gold settings, structured geometric lines, and the popularisation of fancy gemstone cuts such as pear and marquise shapes.

Traditional pieces typically utilise high-purity platinum or gold for the mount, paired with natural corundum sapphires and often accented with small white diamonds.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-appropriate metal hallmarks, hand-cut gemstone facets characteristic of the era, and signs of genuine age in the prongs and setting wear.

It can be paired with minimalist contemporary bands to highlight the central gemstone or combined with other vintage platinum pieces for a cohesive aesthetic.

Clean the piece gently using warm water, mild washing-up liquid, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners if the gemstone has fracture fillings.
