How do I identify an Edwardian floral ring?

Edwardian pieces often feature platinum-topped yellow gold settings framing old-cut diamonds in delicate daisy or openwork floral configurations. The lightness of the metalwork and the use of millegrain edging help distinguish this period from heavier Victorian designs.

What is a daisy ring?

A daisy ring is a specific style of cluster jewellery where a central gemstone is surrounded by a ring of smaller white stones, mimicking the petals of a flower. This motif enjoyed immense popularity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Are these rings suitable for daily wear?

Most antique floral rings can be worn daily provided they receive regular checks by a jeweller to ensure the stone settings remain secure. Older pieces in softer metals or with pearls require extra care to avoid accidental damage.

How do I care for antique gemstone jewellery?

Cleaning should be done gently using warm water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners that can damage organic gems like pearls and turquoise. Storing each ring in a separate compartment prevents scratching between softer stones and diamonds.
