How do I care for my ring?

Platinum and sapphire endure daily wear well, yet harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning can damage older settings. Regular checks by a specialist ensure the tiny claws holding the stones remain secure. Store the piece separately from other jewellery to prevent diamond facets from scratching the softer platinum metal or the sapphire surface.

Can these rings be resized?

Most platinum and gold settings allow for careful resizing by a skilled jeweller experienced in antique pieces. The intricate gallery work on the shoulders requires caution to preserve original engravings and pierced details. Consult a specialist who can assess the band thickness and determine the appropriate method for adjustment without compromising the structural integrity.

Are unheated sapphires different?

Unheated sapphires have not undergone thermal enhancement to improve their natural colour or clarity. This geological state adds significant interest for collectors seeking untouched stones. Certification from gemological laboratories often accompanies these specific sapphire rings to verify their origin and lack of treatment.
