FAQs

Mid-century jewellery bridges the geometric abstraction of Art Deco and the flowing organic forms of the later twentieth century, often utilising platinum and white gold settings.

Rings from this era frequently feature platinum or white gold mounts set with natural mined diamonds and calibre-cut blue sapphires.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmark stamps, setting techniques such as millegrain detailing, and the characteristic hand-cut facets of old cut diamonds.

Pairing vintage cocktail and dress rings with minimalist modern outfits allows the historical craftsmanship and unique gemstone cuts to stand out as focal accessories.

Regular professional inspection of the claw settings and millegrain edges prevents stone loss, while gentle cleaning with warm soapy water maintains the brilliance of the gems.
