How do I care for my ring?

Clean your jewellery gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners that might damage treated or natural stones. Store pieces separately in lined boxes to prevent softer gold and diamonds from scratching the ruby surface.

Are these stones natural?

Many listings specify natural unheated rubies originating from Burma or Mogok, accompanied by gemmological reports confirming their provenance. Some vintage examples feature untreated gems while others carry specific certificates detailing their exact origin and mineral characteristics.

Can I wear this daily?

Corundum ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, making rubies durable enough for regular wear when set securely in robust 18ct gold or platinum mountings. Clustered and antique settings benefit from occasional professional checks by a jeweller to ensure claws remain tight and secure.

How do I date my ring?

Examine the mounting style, cut of the diamonds and any visible hallmarks or stamps indicating Birmingham assays or specific Victorian and Edwardian manufacturing traits. Art Deco geometric layouts, Victorian starburst motifs and mid-century cluster designs provide clear visual markers for specific eras.
