How do I wear an antique ring daily?

These rings tolerate daily wear if treated with care, but the softer nature of rubies compared to diamonds means they benefit from removal during heavy manual tasks. Store them separately in fabric pouches to prevent the diamonds from scratching the gold or softer gems.

What periods do these rings come from?

The pieces span the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and mid-century eras, reflecting changing tastes in jewellery design. Victorian and Edwardian examples often feature intricate gold work, while later pieces lean towards platinum and geometric cluster arrangements.

Are these engagement rings?

Many of these pieces served as engagement rings in their original eras, particularly the trilogy and diamond-surrounded cluster formats. Today, buyers choose them for weddings, anniversaries, or simply as distinctive everyday dress rings.

How do I clean my ruby ring?

Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to clean away oils and dust accumulated beneath the stone settings. Avoid harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners, especially if the rubies have traditional fracture-filling treatments.
