What periods do these rings come from?

The selection spans the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and mid-century periods. You will encounter pieces dating from the late nineteenth century through to the 1960s. Each era brings distinct mounting styles and cutting techniques to the jewellery, reflecting the changing tastes of collectors over time.

Are the rubies natural and unheated?

Many listings specify natural unheated rubies, often originating from Burma or Mogok. Gemmological reports frequently accompany these particular pieces to confirm their origin. Other rings feature standard treated rubies paired with old cut or brilliant cut diamonds.

What metals are used in the settings?

Makers utilised 18ct gold in both yellow and white varieties, alongside platinum. Platinum became particularly favoured during the Art Deco period for its strength and bright finish. Gold remains the standard choice across Victorian, Edwardian, and mid-century bands and cluster mounts.
