How do I care for my ring?

Clean your gold and gemstone ring gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemical dips, particularly if the piece contains softer organic gems like pearls. Store the ring in a fabric-lined box away from other pieces to prevent scratching the gold surface or the purple gemstone.

Are these rings suitable for daily wear?

Many of these pieces are robust enough for regular daily wear, particularly those set in substantial gold bands. Consider the stone type, as quartz and sapphire hold up well over time while softer stones need extra care. Remove your jewellery before undertaking heavy manual work or swimming to protect the claws and settings.

How can I tell the period of a ring?

Examine the cut of the stones, the style of the mounting, and any official hallmarks stamped inside the band. Georgian and Victorian pieces often feature closed backs or hand-engraved details. Later mid-century and retro modern examples typically display bolder geometric lines and heavier gold weights.

What is a cocktail ring?

A cocktail ring is a large, statement jewellery piece designed to draw attention during evening social events. These rings often feature oversized central stones like large amethysts surrounded by diamonds. Popularised in the mid-twentieth century, they celebrate bold design and expressive scale.
