What is an old cut diamond?

An old cut diamond is a stone faceted by hand before modern machinery standardised proportions. These stones typically possess a smaller table and a deeper pavilion. They display a distinctive, softer scintillation that performs particularly well under low or ambient lighting conditions.

Why combine platinum and gold?

Jewellers often used platinum for the top settings to provide a bright, secure white background for diamonds while using yellow gold for the shank. This method offered the strength of platinum where it mattered most alongside the traditional warmth of gold lower down the ring.

How do I date these rings?

Dating relies on a combination of cut styles, mounting techniques, and design motifs. Edwardian pieces often feature intricate wirework and millegrain, while Art Deco examples lean towards geometric lines. Looking closely at the shape of the diamonds and the construction of the basket helps narrow down the decade of manufacture.

Can I wear an antique ring daily?

Platinum is an exceptionally durable and hardwearing metal that withstands daily friction well. However, because older stones and settings have history, regular checks by a jeweller ensure the claws remain tight and secure.
