What is oval sapphire jewellery?

It encompasses rings, brooches, earrings, and pendants featuring oval-cut sapphires accented with diamonds. These items date from Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and mid-century eras. The designs often utilise cluster settings where a central blue gemstone is framed by sparkling diamond halos in gold or platinum.

How do I wear these rings?

Cluster and cocktail rings make a distinct statement on the hand and suit daily wear with appropriate care for older settings. Pairing them with simpler bands lets the central sapphire remain the focal point. Consider the metal colour of your other accessories when matching yellow gold, white gold, or platinum mountings.

How do I spot an antique setting?

Look for hand-finished details in the metalwork, such as fine millegrain edges and open-back settings characteristic of Edwardian and Art Deco pieces. Platinum was widely utilised during the early twentieth century for its strength in delicate designs. Maker marks and gold purity stamps can also offer clues to the manufacturing period of the piece.

Are unheated sapphires better?

Unheated sapphires have not undergone artificial thermal treatments to enhance their colour, preserving their natural formation entirely. Collectors often seek out these untreated stones for their rarity and natural origin. Gemological reports typically accompany these stones to verify their unheated status.
