FAQs

Mid-Century jewellery, spanning roughly from the 1940s to the 1960s, is characterised by bold use of gemstones, sculptural gold settings, and a shift towards clean yet dramatic silhouettes that broke away from traditional Victorian and Edwardian constraints.

Traditional construction typically involves precious metals such as yellow gold, white gold, or platinum, paired with high-carat central gemstones like sapphires, rubies, or emeralds, frequently accented by brilliant-cut diamonds.

Authentic pieces often feature period-specific hallmarks, hand-finished prongs, heavy gold weight, and distinctive stone cuts characteristic of mid-century lapidary techniques rather than modern laser cutting.

A statement cocktail ring works brilliantly as a standalone focal piece, pairing well with both minimalist modern evening wear and tailored daytime ensembles to add a touch of historical character.

Preservation involves storing pieces in lined jewellery boxes away from other items to prevent scratching, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners on treated stones, and having settings professionally checked annually for prong integrity.
