What is an old mine cut diamond?

An old mine cut diamond is a hand-faceted stone shaped before modern automated techniques were invented, featuring a cushion-like outline and high crown. These diamonds were designed to sparkle brilliantly under candlelight, giving them a softer, warmer appearance than modern brilliant-cut stones.

How do I care for an antique ring?

Caring for an antique ring involves gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners. Because settings from the Victorian and Edwardian eras can wear thin over centuries, regular inspection by a specialist jeweller helps secure the stones.

How can I tell a Victorian ring from an Edwardian ring?

Victorian rings often utilise heavier 18ct yellow gold, featuring robust gypsy bands, carved half hoops, and romantic motifs like serpents. Edwardian rings transition into lighter platinum settings and intricate, lace-like openwork filigree designed to showcase the diamonds with maximum light.

Can I wear my antique ring every day?

Many people wear these historic rings daily, provided the original settings remain sturdy and secure on the hand. It is wise to remove them during heavy physical work or sports to protect the delicate hand-carved gold and platinum mountings from undue stress.
