What periods do these pieces date from?

The collection spans the nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century, including Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and 1950s or 1960s eras. Designs reflect the stylistic shifts of each decade, moving from heavy yellow gold floral motifs to geometric platinum settings.

How do I identify an old-cut diamond?

Old-cut diamonds display smaller tables, open culets visible through the back, and hand-cut facets adapted to candlelight. These stones differ from modern brilliant cuts by possessing a softer, warmer scintillation.

What metal types are commonly used?

Items utilise eighteen-carat yellow gold, platinum, eighteen-carat white gold, and occasional nine-carat or fourteen-carat gold components. Platinum gained favour during the Edwardian and Art Deco periods for its strength and white lustre.

How should I care for vintage gemstone rings?

Clean these pieces gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips that might damage softer stones. Store items separately to prevent softer metals or diamonds from scratching the ruby surfaces.
