Are half carat diamond rings suitable for daily wear?

Rings set in eighteen carat gold and platinum provide the durability needed for regular use. Settings such as bezels and low-profile claws help protect the stones during everyday activities.

What periods do these rings come from?

The selection includes pieces from the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and Mid-Century eras. Each period brings distinct mount styles and stone cuts, from early old cut diamonds to later brilliant cuts.

What metals are used in these settings?

Makers utilised eighteen carat yellow gold, white gold, platinum, and occasionally nine carat gold. White metals became particularly popular during the Art Deco period, while yellow gold defines many Victorian and Edwardian examples.

Can I find other gemstones alongside the diamond?

Many configurations combine diamonds with sapphires, rubies, turquoise, opals, or spinels. These multi-stone arrangements appear in five stone rings, clusters, and half eternity bands.
