How do I care for my ring?

Clean your ring gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips that might affect the metal or stones. Have the claw settings checked periodically by a professional jeweller to ensure the ruby and diamonds remain secure.

Are these rings suitable for daily wear?

Ruby is an exceptionally durable gemstone, ranking just below diamond on the hardness scale, which makes it well-suited for everyday engagement wear. Gold and platinum settings still require sensible care to protect finer details like millegrain edges or smaller accent diamonds.

How can I tell the period of a ring?

Examine the mounting style, metal colour, and cutting of the diamonds, as Art Deco pieces favour geometric platinum work while Victorian designs often utilise yellow gold. Gemmological reports and hallmarks stamped inside the band provide further evidence regarding the origin and date of manufacture.
