What defines a 1935 art deco ring?

These pieces are defined by their geometric layouts, architectural symmetry, and the use of platinum or white gold alongside old-cut diamonds and vibrant coloured gemstones. They capture the distinct aesthetic of the modernist era, bridging bold industrial lines with refined personal jewellery.

How do I care for my ring?

Maintenance involves gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage delicate emerald treatments. Regular inspection by a professional jeweller ensures the platinum or gold claw settings remain secure around the centre stones.

Can these rings be resized?

Most platinum and gold examples can be adjusted by a skilled bench jeweller who understands vintage construction methods. Care must be taken to preserve side channel work, millegrain details, and full eternity stone patterns during any alteration.

What is the difference between an engagement ring and a dress ring?

Engagement rings typically focus on a central diamond or single prominent gemstone designed for daily wear alongside a wedding band. Dress rings and cocktail rings often feature larger coloured stones, multi-stone clusters, or broader face designs meant for occasional ornamentation.
