How do I wear a cocktail ring?

These large rings suit the middle finger or ring finger as a standalone statement piece. Keep other hand accessories minimal to let the retro design work without competition.

What defines the retro period?

The era covers the 1940s and 1950s, marked by heavy gold construction and geometric shapes. Pieces from this time often reflect post-war optimism through bold, unapologetic proportions.

Are emeralds treated?

Natural emeralds frequently undergo traditional oil or resin clarity enhancements to improve appearance. Such treatments are standard practice across historical jewellery of this vintage.

How do I clean my ring?

Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt from beneath the settings. Avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners which can damage treated emeralds or loosen old stones.
