FAQs

Edwardian jewellery is characterised by delicate craftsmanship, often utilising platinum and silver settings combined with diamonds, pearls, and coloured gemstones to create light, feminine, and lace-like motifs.

These pieces typically employed sterling silver or platinum for the metalwork, paired with natural gemstones such as turquoise, garnet, and paste stones to depict the vibrant colours of insects.

Authentic pieces often feature period-appropriate pin stems and C-clasps or safety catches, hand-cut stones, and subtle hallmarks indicating British or European silver standards.

Antique brooches can be worn pinned to modern lapels, silk scarves, or velvet blazers, or alternatively mounted in small shadow boxes for display within a study or dressing room.

Silver should be gently polished with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage porous stones like turquoise.
