Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1920s:
Swivel flip design with hinged outer bands: popular novelty ring design from the 1920s.
Single-cut diamonds in grain settings: early 20th-century cutting style for small stones.
Square pierced holes behind each setting: hand piercing rather than modern casting.
Pinned riveted hinges: traditional mechanical assembly of early swivel rings.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A day and night ring is a type of convertible jewellery featuring hinged outer guards that pivot over a central band. This mechanical design allows the wearer to alter the visible gemstones, transforming a simpler daytime look into a more ornate evening style.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from precious metals such as 18ct yellow gold, white gold, or platinum, set with precious gemstones including diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.

Authentic examples typically feature precise hand-engraved detailing, metal purity hallmarks stamped on the inner shank or hinges, smooth mechanical pivot points, and period-correct gemstone cuts.

The versatile design can be worn as a singular statement band or stacked alongside minimal modern gold rings to highlight the dual-colour contrast of the rubies and diamonds.

Store the ring individually in a soft pouch to prevent scratching, clean gently using warm soapy water with a soft brush around the settings, and have the mechanical hinges inspected periodically by a professional jeweller.
