FAQs

Mid-century diamond rings typically feature diamonds cut in earlier hand-faceted proportions, such as the old European cut, reset or created during the mid-20th century. These pieces often pair classic solitaire stones with textured, engraved, or sculpted shoulders crafted in platinum or white gold.

Rings from this era commonly utilise high-purity platinum or 18-carat white gold for the setting to complement the white brilliance of diamonds. Detailed hand-engraving, filigree, and multi-claw settings were standard construction techniques.

Authenticity is verified by assessing the diamonds facet pattern, looking for an open culet or small table characteristic of older cuts, alongside hallmarks stamped inside the band indicating metal purity and makers marks.

The understated profile of a solitaire diamond allows it to pair effortlessly with contemporary minimalist tailoring as well as classic formal wear, functioning as a refined focal point.

Clean the ring using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from under the setting. Regular professional inspections ensure that the claws remain secure around the gemstone.
