What periods do these rings come from?

The available pieces originate from various decades spanning the twentieth century, incorporating Edwardian, Art Deco, Retro and mid-century design movements. Exact dating relies on stylistic characteristics and period hallmarks. Craftsmanship evolves from delicate early Edwardian platinum work and geometric Art Deco structures into bolder mid-century cocktail rings.

Are the sapphires treated?

Many stones are described specifically as unheated, indicating they retain their natural colour and clarity without artificial thermal enhancement. Other listings present natural Ceylon sapphires alongside total diamond carat weights. Gemstone certificates often accompany these pieces to verify geographical origin and treatment status where applicable.

What metal types are used?

Mountings are fashioned primarily from platinum, 18-carat yellow gold and 18-carat white gold. Platinum was particularly favoured during the Art Deco era for its strength in delicate wirework. Gold variations provide warm or cool backdrops that complement both traditional blue stones and fancy coloured varieties like yellow and pink.

How do I care for a vintage ring?

Daily maintenance involves gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove accumulated oils from beneath the central stone. Regular inspection of the claws by a professional jeweller ensures structural security. Storing antique jewellery separately prevents scratching between softer gems like pearls and harder diamonds.
