The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Engagement rings from the 1940s often feature transitional or old European cut diamonds set in white gold or platinum mountings. This era bridged late Art Deco geometric precision with softer mid-century aesthetics.

Platinum and white gold were primary metals, often set with natural hand-cut diamonds. Settings typically utilised prongs or illusion settings to maximize the appearance of the central gemstone.

Authentic old cut diamonds feature a smaller table, higher crown, open culet, and deeper pavilion compared to modern brilliant cuts. Period hallmarks and hand-engraved details inside the band also indicate authenticity.

A single vintage solitaire ring offers a clean look that complements minimalist contemporary tailoring and everyday wear. It can also be paired with modern plain bands to create a stacked jewellery aesthetic.

Clean the ring using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and oils behind the setting. Professional jewellers should inspect the claws periodically to ensure the gemstones remain secure.
