How should I care for an antique target ring?

Antique target rings require gentle handling due to their delicate settings and older cut stones. Regular cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush maintains the sparkle of the diamonds and coloured gems. Professional inspection of the claws and platinum or gold mounts ensures the concentric stone arrangements remain secure during daily wear.

What periods do these rings come from?

These rings appear primarily from the Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco eras, extending into mid-century design. Each period brings distinct metal choices and stone cuts to the target configuration. Victorian and Edwardian examples often feature yellow gold and delicate floral motifs, while Art Deco pieces showcase platinum and sharp geometric calibre cutting.

Are coloured stones natural in these rings?

Many antique target rings incorporate natural rubies, sapphires, and emeralds sourced from regions like Burma, Ceylon, or Zambia. These coloured stones provide the contrasting borders that define the target aesthetic. Graduation of tone and precise calibration of these gems contribute significantly to the visual depth of the cluster face.
