What is a target ring?

A target ring is a specific style of cluster ring featuring a central gemstone encircled by one or more concentric rings of contrasting stones. The layout forms a distinct geometric pattern resembling a target. Most surviving examples date from the Art Deco period, utilising platinum or white gold to enhance the concentric visual effect.

How do I date a ruby diamond ring?

Dating relies on the combination of metal choices, stone cuts, and overall mounting style. Victorian pieces often use yellow gold with chunky old cut stones, whereas Art Deco examples favour platinum and crisp geometric lines. Looking closely at the gallery and setting techniques reveals the manufacturing period without relying solely on hallmarks.

Are these rings suitable for daily wear?

These antique rings require mindful care due to their delicate millegrain edges and intricate settings. Removing them during manual tasks protects the smaller stones and fragile claws. Platinum mounts offer greater durability for regular wear compared to softer high-carat gold alternatives.

What is a Mogok ruby?
