What periods do these rings come from?

The pieces span several decades, beginning around the Edwardian era and moving through the geometric geometry of the 1920s and 1930s Art Deco movement. Later examples reach into the 1940s, 1950s and Mid-Century modern designs. Design traits shift across these years, transitioning from intricate millegrain wirework to bold cocktail rings and clean atomic lines.

Are all the blue stones sapphires?

While sapphire is the most common blue gemstone in these pieces, the selection also includes aquamarine, turquoise, blue spinel, zircon and white paste stones. Each material brings a different shade of blue and level of brilliance to the design. Gemstones vary from deep royal blue Ceylon sapphires to pale translucent aquamarines and vivid turquoise.

How should I care for an antique ring?

Antique rings require gentle handling, particularly pieces featuring softer stones like turquoise or older claw settings that can loosen over time. Professional cleaning by a specialist jeweller ensures the stones remain secure. Remove rings during rigorous physical activities to protect delicate calibre-cut gems and fine metal prongs from impact.
