How do I wear a target ring daily?

These rings suit daily wear provided you remove them during heavy manual tasks or exercise. Platinum is durable, but the intricate millegrain and calibré stones require sensible care. Store the piece separately in a fabric lined box to prevent scratching against other jewellery. Periodic checks by a jeweller will ensure the tiny claw and bezel settings remain secure.

What defines the Art Deco style?

Art Deco design embraces strict symmetry, geometric repetition and clean lines. This aesthetic rejected organic curves in favour of circles, chevrons, squares and stepped motifs. In these rings, the style appears through concentric rings of contrasting rubies or sapphires framing a central diamond. The architecture of the mount is celebrated rather than hidden.

Are these rings made entirely of platinum?

Many examples feature a platinum face paired with an 18ct white gold, yellow gold or rose gold shank. Platinum was favoured for the top setting because its strength permitted fine claw work and secure millegrain. Gold shanks were frequently utilised underneath for structural warmth and ease of resizing. Entirely platinum examples also appear across the listings.

How do I determine the period?

Dating relies on stylistic markers, cut of the diamonds, and material combinations. The presence of calibré cut sapphires and old cut diamonds combined in platinum points directly to the interwar years. Edwardian precursors often feature softer garland motifs, while 1940s variations incorporate heavier gold integration. Hallmarks and metal purity stamps further clarify the date of manufacture.
