FAQs

Mid-century jewellery from the 1950s often features clean lines, sleek platinum or white gold settings, and a focus on geometric precision to highlight the central gemstone.

Rings from this era were predominantly crafted from platinum or white gold, frequently accented with pave-set round brilliant cut diamonds.

Authentication involves examining hallmarks, assay marks, and construction techniques such as bezel settings and hand-finished platinum work typical of the 1950s.

A vintage diamond ring pairs effortlessly with both contemporary minimalist bands and stacked vintage wedding rings for a curated, personal aesthetic.

Clean platinum and diamonds using warm water, mild washing-up liquid, and a soft-bristled brush, and store the piece separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent scratches.
