How do I care for my ring?

Clean your ring gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners particularly if your piece contains softer stones like opals or emeralds. Store each ring separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent harder diamonds from scratching softer centre gems or delicate precious metal settings.

Can these rings be resized?

Most gold and platinum rings can be altered by a skilled jeweller, though intricate cluster work or full channel-set shoulders require careful handling. Consult a specialist workshop to check the shank thickness and gemstone security before undertaking any structural alterations to antique or vintage mounts.

How do I identify the period?

Examine the metal hallmarks, setting techniques and gemstone cuts to establish the era, noting that Edwardian and Art Deco pieces display distinct geometric or delicate filigree traits. Mid-century and later twentieth-century rings often present heavier platinum or gold mountings paired with bolder cluster configurations around large central stones.

What is an east to west setting?

An east to west setting mounts the elongated oval gemstone horizontally across the finger rather than vertically along the hand. This orientation creates a distinct visual width and reflects mid-century design experiments with traditional stone shapes.
