FAQs

Art Deco jewellery is characterised by geometric precision, symmetrical designs, stylised motifs, and the prominent use of platinum paired with diamonds.

Pendants from this era were predominantly crafted from platinum or white gold, often featuring intricate millegrain detailing and handset diamonds.

Authentication involves examining the mounting techniques, such as hand-cut old European or pear cut stones, hand-beaded millegrain edges, and hallmarks indicative of the period.

Pairing this piece with minimalist modern necklines allows the intricate historical craftsmanship and geometric frame to serve as a focal point.

Clean gently using warm water, mild washing-up liquid, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners on delicate antique settings.
