How do I date these rings?

Dating relies on hallmarks, metal types, and gemstone cutting styles found on the piece. London and Chester assay marks often pinpoint the exact year of manufacture. Old cut diamonds and boat settings typically indicate late nineteenth or early twentieth century origins.

What stones accompany diamonds?

Sapphires, rubies, opals, garnets, and turquoise frequently appear alongside diamonds in these settings. Basaltic sapphires and white opals add distinct colour to 18ct gold mounts. These mixed gemstone arrangements define much of the Victorian and Edwardian selection.

Are earrings available here?

Earrings appear in drop earring and circle of life halo configurations. Edwardian examples often incorporate white gold, platinum, onyx, and rose cut diamonds. These pieces complement the broader selection of antique rings.
