FAQs

Mid-century engagement rings from the 1950s often feature streamlined profiles, platinum or white gold settings, and a focus on maximising the brilliance of the central diamond through clever geometric bezel or illusion settings.

Jewellery from this era predominantly utilised platinum or high-karat white gold, paired with hand-cut diamonds such as old European cuts or early brilliant cuts, secured with precise bezel, millegrain, or prong settings.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hallmark stamps specific to the era, hand-cut facets characteristic of older diamond-cutting techniques like the old mine or old European cut, and signs of genuine period wear on the metal.

A vintage diamond ring pairs effortlessly with contemporary minimalist jewellery or can be stacked with sleek, modern bands to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern aesthetic.

Preserve the integrity of the piece by cleaning it gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and having the settings professionally inspected annually to ensure the stones remain secure.
