FAQs

Mid-century engagement rings often featured streamlined settings, transitioning from the heavy ornamentation of the Edwardian and Art Deco periods towards sleeker, modernist designs while maintaining traditional handcrafted elements.

These pieces were typically forged from yellow gold, white gold, or platinum, frequently utilizing platinum settings specifically to enhance the brilliance of diamonds.

Authentic old cut diamonds display smaller tables, higher crowns, and larger culets compared to modern brilliant cuts, often accompanied by hallmark stamps indicating the metal purity and period.

Antique jewellery can be paired with contemporary minimalist attire to create a striking contrast, or layered alongside modern pieces for a curated, eclectic aesthetic.

Vintage rings should be cleaned gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners, and inspected regularly by a jeweller to ensure the stone settings remain secure.
