FAQs

A ballerina ring is a style of cluster ring designed to resemble the flared tutu of a ballet dancer. Originating in the mid-20th century, the style features a central gem or cluster framed by a sunburst ring of radially arranged baguette diamonds.

Rings from this period were predominantly crafted from platinum or 18ct white gold to complement the brilliance of white diamonds. Settings utilised a combination of claw and channel mounts to hold round brilliant and tapered baguette diamonds securely.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate metal purity hallmarks, precise hand-finishing along the underside of the setting, and specific diamond cuts such as transition or mid-century round brilliant cuts alongside tapered baguettes.

Due to its wide profile and structured outline, a ballerina ring functions well as a standalone statement cocktail ring or an alternative engagement ring paired with a plain precious metal band.

Clean the ring gently using warm water, mild detergent, and a soft-bristled brush to remove accumulation behind the diamond facets. Have a jeweller inspect the prongs regularly to ensure the channel-set baguette diamonds remain firmly secured.
