What periods do these rings come from?

The pieces span from the nineteenth century through the Edwardian, Art Deco, and mid-century eras. Each period brings distinct metal choices and mounting styles. Craftsmanship shifts from Victorian gold work to the geometric platinum settings of the 1920s and the bolder forms of the 1950s.

How do I care for my ring?

Sapphire and diamond rank high on the hardness scale, making them durable for regular wear. Regular cleaning in warm soapy water restores the brilliance of the stone. Mounts in platinum or gold benefit from periodic checks by a jeweller to ensure the claws remain secure.

What is an unheated sapphire?

An unheated sapphire is a natural stone that has not been subjected to high temperatures to alter its colour or clarity. This natural state is documented in the stone's characteristics. Such stones derive their appearance entirely from natural geological processes over millions of years.

Are these rings suitable for daily wear?

Corundum is a resilient gemstone well suited to everyday use on the hand. Platinum and gold settings provide sturdy support for the central gem. Prudent care involves removing the ring during heavy manual tasks to protect the precious metal and the stone.
