How do I care for antique sapphire rings?

Antique sapphire and diamond rings require gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and ultrasonic devices, particularly with older or unheated stones. Store these pieces separately in lined boxes to prevent the diamonds from scratching softer metals or adjacent gemstones.

Are unheated sapphires more valuable?

Unheated sapphires that retain their natural colour without thermal enhancement are scarcer than treated stones. Natural geological origin combined with the absence of heat treatment contributes to collector interest. Such stones often possess certification from independent gemological laboratories detailing their geographic provenance and lack of treatment.

How can I tell Art Deco from Victorian pieces?

Victorian designs often utilise yellow gold, organic motifs like floral daisy patterns, and substantial old mined cut diamonds. They present a warmer, more traditional aesthetic. Art Deco pieces favour platinum or white gold, sharp geometric lines, target motifs, and precise calibre cut sapphires reflecting an industrial modernist influence.
