What is an old european cut diamond?

An old european cut is a vintage round diamond shape hand-faceted before modern optical standards were established in the mid-twentieth century. These stones typically feature a smaller table, higher crown, and distinct open culet that creates a deeper pattern of light reflection.

How do I care for platinum and gold rings?

Platinum and gold settings require gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove everyday oils from the diamond facets. Periodic inspection by a jeweller ensures that the delicate claws and millegrain edges holding older stones remain secure.

Can I wear these rings every day?

Platinum provides a robust and durable metal framework suitable for daily wear when paired with hard gemstones like diamonds. Care should be taken with antique settings to avoid heavy impact that might damage original hand-carved details or prongs.

How do I identify an edwardian ring?

Edwardian rings are typically distinguished by lacy platinum-on-gold work, intricate filigree, and floral or garland motifs. These pieces often utilise millegrain borders and soft cluster arrangements surrounding central old-cut diamonds.
