How do I wear a delicate antique ring daily?

These rings tolerate everyday wear provided you remove them for manual tasks, heavy lifting, or swimming. Store them separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent the diamonds from scratching softer metals or gems.

Are these rings suitable for modern engagements?

Their distinctive geometric character makes them a popular choice for engagements, offering an alternative to contemporary solitaire designs. Ensure the claw settings and band thickness are checked by a jeweller to confirm structural integrity.

How do I clean a sapphire and diamond ring?

Soak the piece briefly in warm water mixed with a mild washing-up liquid, then use a soft-brushed toothbrush to remove oils from beneath the stones. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths, particularly if the piece contains paste stones or delicate foiled settings.

How can I tell a 1920s ring from a reproduction?

Examine the piece with a loupe to look for hand-cut stones, subtle irregularities in the millegrain, and period-appropriate internal construction. True Art Deco pieces display construction methods and wear patterns consistent with genuine age rather than modern casting techniques.
