Antique Rings

An Antique is defined as an item that is 100 or more years old - our Antique rings are all dated from before 1911 with real character.  Gold rings, platinum rings, silver with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and other gemstones - a fantastic selection with true style.  We do NOT polish to 'as new' but ensure all items are clean - we prefer to let the items character show through.  We will professionally polish any item at the request of the customer.  If you would like to enquire about a particular antique ring not listed here then contact us with your requirements.  Please remember many antique items do not carry full UK hallmarks, but are all tested for gold purity.

Don't forget our Vintage and Modern rings too.
