How do I care for an antique gold sapphire band?

Clean the metal and stones gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips. Store the ring in a fabric-lined box separately from harder jewellery to prevent scratching the gold.

Can these antique rings be resized?

Most solid 18ct gold bands can be adjusted by a skilled jeweller who understands antique construction. Take care with rings featuring delicate side engraving or complex multi-stone settings like half eternities.

What is the difference between Victorian and Edwardian settings?

Victorian designs often utilise heavier gypsy mounts and starburst engravings in deep yellow gold. Edwardian pieces lean towards lighter, airier platinum and yellow gold combinations with delicate millegrain detailing.

Are the sapphires usually natural in these pieces?

Antique and vintage pieces from the Victorian and Edwardian eras predominantly feature natural corundum. Gemstone origin can sometimes be confirmed through independent laboratory certification if specified by the dealer.
