FAQs

Retro era rings, typically spanning from the late 1930s through the 1950s, often feature bold architectural settings, sculptural metalwork, and expressive geometric curves that transition away from Art Deco linear minimalism towards fuller, volumetric forms.

Engagement rings from this period commonly utilised platinum, white gold, or yellow gold, frequently pairing central brilliant or old cut diamonds with smaller accent stones set into decorative shoulders.

An old European cut diamond is distinguished by its round outline, high crown, small table facet, steep crown angle, and a visible flat facet at the base known as an open culet, which creates distinctive light patterns compared to modern cuts.

A mid-century diamond ring pairs effortlessly with slim modern bands or simple platinum metalwork, creating a textured layer of eras without overwhelming a contemporary aesthetic.

Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove build-up around the claws, and schedule periodic professional checks to ensure the structural integrity of the setting.
