How do I date an antique ring?

Dating relies on examining hallmarks, shank shape, gemstone cut, and overall manufacturing style. Victorian and Edwardian examples often display specific regional assay marks and hand-cut stones. Comparing the mounting style and gold purity against known period pieces helps narrow the decade of creation.

Can I wear these rings daily?

Many of these pieces were built for everyday wear during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, utilising robust 18ct yellow gold bands. The flush star setting itself keeps stones secure against snagging. Gentle care and periodic checks by a jeweller ensure the ancient metal and flush-set gems remain secure over time.

What stones are used in them?

Old cut diamonds are the most common gems found in these antique bands, prized for their soft, hand-faceted sparkle. Rubies and emeralds also appear as single stones or part of multi-gem layouts. The coloured gems provide vibrant contrast against the warm 18ct yellow gold settings.
