What is a bezel setting?

A bezel setting surrounds the gemstone with a continuous band of metal, holding it securely against the finger. This method protects the girdle of the stone and creates a smooth silhouette typical of period jewellery.

How do I date these rings?

Dating relies on stylistic markers such as geometric motifs, platinum content, and specific diamond cuts like old mine or old European shapes. Most original examples date from the nineteen twenties and thirties, though mid century revivals also appear.

Can platinum rings be resized?

Platinum bands can be altered by a skilled jeweller who works with high melting point precious metals. The process involves adding or removing a small section of the shank while preserving the bezel head.

What stones accompany the diamonds?

These mountings frequently incorporate sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and black onyx to create strong colour contrasts. Coloured gemstones are typically set alongside old cut diamonds within geometric arrangements.
