Can I wear my ring every day?

These bands were built for daily wear with flush or low-profile settings that protect the stones. Softer gems like turquoise or opal require more care than diamonds, so removing the ring during heavy manual tasks preserves the setting.

What is an old cut diamond?

Old cut diamonds are hand-faceted stones shaped before modern machinery standardised cutting angles. They display smaller table facets and deeper pavilions, producing a softer candlelight sparkle rather than sharp modern brilliance.

How do I know if the ring is Victorian?

Victorian rings show characteristic hand-wrought details, specific gold carat marks such as 18ct, and traditional gemstone combinations. Hallmarks stamped inside the band often include date letters or assay office symbols that confirm the exact year of origin.

What does gypsy set mean?

A gypsy setting embeds the diamond flush into a thick gold band rather than lifting it in claws. This seamless profile prevented the ring from snagging on clothing and remained popular for both men and women throughout the nineteenth century.
