How do I determine the age of my ring?

Dating a ring involves checking the metal hallmarks for assay office stamps and date letters. Stylistic elements such as old cut diamonds or Art Deco geometric motifs also indicate the period. Written documentation or archive records can further verify the decade of manufacture, ranging from the Edwardian era to the mid-century.

Are these rings suitable for everyday wear?

Solid gold bands, particularly those cast in high-purity 22ct or 18ct gold, are exceptionally durable and designed for continuous daily use. Their robust metal construction withstands regular physical contact without losing form. Stone-set rings require slightly more care to protect the settings, but remain practical choices for lifelong commitment jewellery.

What is the difference between yellow and white gold?

Yellow gold retains the natural warm colour of the metal alloy, frequently utilised in traditional wedding bands throughout the early twentieth century. White gold offers a silvery appearance, often achieved by combining gold with other white metals. Both variations provide the structural strength needed for fine jewellery and engagement settings.
