The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian insect jewellery gained prominence during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, influenced by a popular fascination with entomology, natural history, and symbolic botanical motifs.

These items were commonly crafted using silver-topped gold settings, holding hand-cut gemstones such as opals, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and rose-cut or old mine-cut diamonds.

Authentic pieces typically feature closed or collet settings, hand-cut gemstones, silver layered over yellow gold metalwork, and period-correct pin mechanisms such as extended C-clasps.

An antique brooch can be styled on coat lapels, fastened onto a silk scarf, integrated into hair arrangements, or attached to a chain via a convertible bale to wear as a pendant.

Clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth without liquid chemical cleaners, store away from extreme temperature shifts to protect porous opals, and inspect claw settings regularly.
