What metals are used?

Pieces incorporate platinum alongside various grades of gold, including nine-carat, fourteen-carat, fifteen-carat, eighteen-carat, and eighteen-karat varieties. These metals provide the structural foundation for mounting sapphires, diamonds, opals, and tanzanites. Platinum offers exceptional strength for intricate historical settings, whilst gold provides warmer tones that complement specific gem colours.

Are these engagement rings original?

The selection includes genuine antique and vintage rings originating from the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and mid-century periods. Each piece reflects the distinct design characteristics and manufacturing techniques of its specific era. Jewellery from these past decades carries authentic historical provenance rather than modern reproduction styling.

How do I care for my ring?

Precious metals and durable gemstones require gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush to maintain their brilliance. Regular professional checks ensure that settings and claws remain secure. Avoiding harsh chemical exposure protects softer stones like opals from sustaining surface damage during everyday wear.

What stone shapes appear most?

Designs feature a variety of gemstone cuts including oval, pear, emerald, and round configurations. Gemstones are also shaped into smooth cabochons or rose-cut profiles depending on the period style. These diverse cuts dictate how light interacts with the blue gem and its accompanying diamonds.
