FAQs

Georgian jewellery encompasses pieces made during the reigns of the four British Kings named George, spanning from 1714 to 1837. These items are characterised by hand-crafted techniques, foil-backed or flat-cut gemstones, and closed-back settings.

Jewellery from the Georgian period was typically crafted using low-carat gold, often around 9ct or higher, and silver settings on the face to enhance the sparkle of gemstones. Natural seed pearls, almandine garnets, and hand-cut stones were frequently utilised.

Authentic pieces often exhibit closed-back metal settings, hand-cut stones with irregular facets, and hand-carved wirework or collet settings. Hallmark practices varied significantly during this era, meaning many pieces rely on stylistic indicators and metallurgical testing for verification.

While personal adornment rather than home decor, antique jewellery is often displayed as a focal point within glass-topped display cases, vintage ring trays, or shadow boxes, integrating historic craftsmanship into a modern dressing room aesthetic.

Antique jewellery requires gentle care; it should be stored individually in soft pouches away from moisture and direct sunlight. Cleaning must be done manually with a dry microfibre cloth, strictly avoiding chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and immersion in water due to historical foil-backed stones.
