What periods do these rings come from?

The available pieces and archive records span the Edwardian era, the Art Deco period of the nineteen-thirties, and mid-century years up to nineteen-sixty. Design characteristics naturally shift across these decades, moving from ornate Edwardian motifs to geometric Art Deco lines and simpler mid-century settings.

What metals are used in these rings?

Constructions utilise platinum, eighteen-karat white gold, eighteen-karat yellow gold, and nine-karat gold. Platinum provides a strong, bright white finish favoured in earlier twentieth-century work, whilst various golds offer alternative warmth and durability.

Are all centre stones diamonds?

Whilst many examples feature a central diamond, numerous pieces showcase coloured gemstones including sapphires, pink sapphires, aquamarines, opals, corals and tourmalines. These coloured centre stones are invariably bordered by a diamond halo to contrast hue with white sparkle.

How should I wear an antique cluster ring?

These rings suit daily wear provided appropriate care is taken with older settings and softer centre stones like opal or coral. Regular professional checks of the claws ensure the halo and centre stones remain secure. Their substantial profile means they often function effectively as standalone engagement or statement pieces on the hand.
