FAQs

Art Deco jewellery is characterised by geometric symmetry, stylised motifs, clean lines, and a heavy reliance on platinum paired with diamonds and calibrated gemstones.

Rings from this era frequently utilised platinum or white gold settings, showcasing old cut diamonds secured with intricate claw or millegrain settings.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut facets characteristic of old European or old cut diamonds, along with period-appropriate metal hallmarks and hand-worked millegrain detailing.

Vintage rings pair well with contemporary minimalist bands for a mixed-era stacked look, or they can be worn alone as a striking statement piece.

Preserve antique rings by having settings professionally checked annually and cleaning them gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners on fragile stones.
