The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Mid-century jewellery from the 1950s often features clean, fluid drops and refined settings using platinum or white gold, frequently incorporating inherited old cut diamonds in modernised mounts.

Pendants of this period were predominantly crafted from platinum or 18ct white gold to highlight the whiteness of the diamonds, using claw or bezel settings connected by articulated links.

Old cut diamonds are identified by a small table, a high crown, a visible open culet at the base, and slightly asymmetrical hand-faceted geometric proportions.

A delicate diamond pendant functions as a versatile accessory suitable for layering alongside fine contemporary chains or displayed as a standalone piece on a velvet dress ring dish.

Clean gently using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft-bristled brush, ensuring settings are dry before storing separately in a soft cloth pouch.
