We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Astrological jewellery gained widespread popularity during the mid-20th century, combining personal identity with fine craftsmanship. Rings featuring zodiac symbols, such as Cancer the crab, were frequently fashioned with carved or applied gold motifs set against dark gemstones like onyx.

These rings typically feature solid yellow gold, ranging from 9ct to 18ct purity, paired with flat or cabochon-cut black onyx. The gold mountings often showcase textured engraving or geometric stepped shoulders characteristic of Art Deco and mid-century design.

Authentic pieces generally display official British hallmarks on the interior of the band indicating gold fineness and maker marks. Genuine onyx exhibits a smooth, cold feel with consistent deep black colouration without surface acrylic coatings.

A gold and onyx signet ring serves as a statement everyday accessory that can be worn alone on the pinky or index finger. It pairs seamlessly with both modern tailoring and relaxed casualwear, contrasting well against silver or yellow gold bands.

Clean the ring using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush around the gold setting. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths, as gemstone settings and applied motifs can be sensitive to thermal and mechanical shock.
