The selection spans the Victorian and Edwardian eras, progressing through Art Deco designs of the nineteen-twenties and thirties, up to mid-century and nineteen-seventies vintage pieces.

How should I care for an antique yellow sapphire ring?

These rings require gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners that might damage older settings or softer gold. Routine checks by a jeweller ensure the claws holding the sapphire and diamonds remain secure during regular wear.

Are the yellow sapphires natural?

Many examples feature natural corundum, with specific listings noting unheated stones originating from regions such as Ceylon or Burma. Some vintage pieces may incorporate treated stones or alternate gem reports detailing the exact geological provenance.

What metal is most common in these settings?

Eighteen-carat yellow gold is predominant, frequently paired with white gold or platinum for the top settings to enhance the whiteness of accompanying diamonds. Some later or alternative pieces also utilise nine-carat gold and silver-topped gold constructions.
