How do I care for my ring?

Clean your ring using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners that might damage natural stones. Store the piece separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent harder diamonds from scratching the softer rubies or gold band.

Can these bands be resized easily?

Most 18ct gold and platinum bands can be adjusted by a skilled jeweller depending on the construction of the shoulders and pattern work. Take the piece to a specialist who can work with antique settings without compromising the structural integrity of the stone securement.

Are the rubies heat treated?

Treatment status varies by era and origin, with some vintage examples accompanied by gemmological reports confirming unheated Mogok Burmese stones. Documentation provided with specific listings will detail whether the red corundum has undergone traditional enhancement processes.

How do I date my ring?

Examine the shank for official British hallmarks, which include date letters and assay office symbols from locations such as Chester and Birmingham. Stylistic elements like boat settings, starburst motifs, and platinum-topped gold can also narrow down whether a piece originates from the Victorian, Edwardian, or Art Deco periods.
