FAQs

Mid-century engagement rings from the 1950s often combine classic central diamonds with structured geometric side stones, such as baguette cuts. White gold and platinum remained the preferred precious metals during this era to enhance the brilliance of the stones.

During the mid-20th century, jewellers predominantly used 18ct white gold and platinum for settings. Central diamonds were frequently old European or transitional cuts, often flanked by baguette and small round brilliant accent stones.

Authentic pieces generally display hallmark stamps inside the band, such as 750 for 18ct gold or 950 for platinum. The presence of hand-cut facet proportions in the diamonds and specific shoulder construction methods also assist in identification.

A mid-century diamond ring pairs easily alongside sleek modern metal bands or delicate stacked rings. Combining white metals or pairing the piece with minimalist contemporary designs maintains focus on the central stone.

Clean the ring periodically using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and oil build-up. Periodic checks by a professional jeweller ensure that the claw settings remain secure around all stones.
