FAQs

Mid-century jewellery, particularly from the 1950s, often features refined craftsmanship, innovative use of mixed metals like platinum and gold, and geometric cluster settings designed to maximise the visual impact of central diamonds.

Rings from this period frequently combine yellow gold for the band with platinum settings on the head or shoulders, which securely held diamonds and enhanced their white brilliance.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate hallmarks, hand-cut or early brilliant-cut diamonds, and intricate millegrain detailing or pierced gallery work characteristic of mid-20th-century goldsmithing.

A vintage engagement ring pairs distinctively with plain metal bands or matching antique-style eternity rings, allowing the intricate detailing and mixed-metal setting of the centrepiece to remain the focal point.

Regular professional inspections of the settings and claws are essential to ensure the stones remain secure, alongside gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush to maintain the metal and gemstone lustre.
