How do I care for a vintage floral ring?

Clean these rings gently using warm water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners that can loosen older stones. Store them separately in a lined box to prevent the surrounding gems from scratching the metal shank.

Can these rings be resized easily?

Most gold and platinum bands can be adjusted by a skilled jeweller, though intricate shoulders require careful handling. Enquiry should be made regarding the specific shank thickness before undertaking any alteration.

What periods do these rings come from?

The pieces span several decades, including Edwardian, Victorian, Art Deco, and mid-century eras. Each period imparts distinct characteristics to the floral motif, from delicate platinum work to bolder retro designs.

Are the gemstones natural?

The listings feature traditional precious stones such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and aquamarines typical of vintage manufacturing. Period pieces often incorporate unheated or untreated coloured gems alongside antique cut diamonds.
