FAQs

Art Deco jewellery, prominent during the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by geometric symmetry, stylised motifs, and a strong emphasis on contrasting colours and clean lines.

Craftsmen typically utilised platinum, white gold, and yellow gold, frequently setting them with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds cut in novel geometric shapes like emerald cut and baguette.

Authenticity is assessed through hallmarks, original settings characteristic of the era, hand-cut gemstone facets, and microscopic examination for period-appropriate wear and manufacturing techniques.

An antique ring can be worn as a standalone statement piece or paired thoughtfully with contemporary minimalist bands to create a sophisticated, layered look.

Store antique pieces in individual soft pouches away from direct sunlight, remove them during strenuous activities, and have settings and prongs inspected annually by a professional jeweller.
