How do I care for an antique halo dress ring?

Protect these pieces by removing them during manual tasks, heavy lifting, or swimming to prevent physical impact and chemical exposure to soft gems. Clean them gently using warm water, mild washing-up liquid, and a soft brush, followed by professional checks on the claw settings every few years.

Can antique rings be resized?

Most gold and platinum settings can be adjusted by a skilled jeweller who understands historical metalwork and construction techniques. Intricate halo borders and calibre-cut shoulders require careful evaluation so that the sizing process does not distort the outer ring of stones.

What is the difference between Victorian and Edwardian styles?

Victorian pieces often utilise warmer yellow gold settings with substantial profiles and old mined diamonds, reflecting a romantic or sentimental aesthetic. Edwardian designs shift towards lighter platinum and yellow gold combinations, favouring delicate openwork lace patterns and brighter diamond clusters.

How can I tell an original Art Deco ring?

Art Deco pieces typically display geometric symmetry, platinum or white gold fabrication, and straight lines or calibré-cut accent stones. The overall geometry avoids the softer, more organic curves found in earlier Victorian and Edwardian examples.
