What periods do these rings come from?

The selections span the 19th century, Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco periods, alongside mid-century and vintage decades. Craftsmanship and metal choices shift across these eras, reflecting changing styles from heavy gold solitaires to diamond-haloed cocktail clusters.

Which gemstones appear in these designs?

Central stones include rubies, sapphires, emeralds, opals, jade, amethysts, garnets, aquamarines, tanzanites, and tourmalines. Many pieces pair these coloured gems with surrounding diamonds set in gold or platinum.

How do cluster rings differ from solitaires?

Cluster rings feature a central gemstone surrounded by smaller accent stones, such as a halo of diamonds. Solitaires focus entirely on one standalone stone. Cluster designs offer greater visual width on the hand.

What metals are used for the bands?

Bands utilise 9ct, 14ct, and 18ct yellow, white, and rose gold, alongside platinum and sterling silver. Some older pieces combine gold and silver in the setting. Hallmarks often indicate the metal purity and the office of assay.
