How Aged is This Ring? Even though you have a basic knowledge of antique jewelry, sometimes it is difficult to look for the age of the band. Reproductions could be hard to spot, so it is important to ask an established dealer the approximate age of the band you are looking at. After that you can ask what jewelry era the band is from. A ring from 1895 could be regarded as either Victorian, Edwardian, or Art Nouveau. If your significant other insists on getting an Edwardian ring, ask the dealer to show you different Edwardian options, or better yet have them compare an Edwardian band with a Victorian one.
