FAQs

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and is generally divided into three distinct periods: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic, each featuring unique motifs like love knots, serpents, and natural elements.

Common materials during this era included yellow gold, rolled gold, pinchbeck, and natural gemstones such as Scottish agates, garnets, seed pearls, and jet, often set in elaborate hand-engraved mountings.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate fastenings such as a C-clasp and a pin stem that extends beyond the body of the brooch, along with hand-carved stone settings and traditional hallmarks where applicable.

Antique brooches can be modernised by pinning them to coat lapels, securing silk scarves, fastening structured blazers, or even wearing them clustered on a heavy knit jumper for a textured accent.

Agate and gold pieces should be cleaned gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and stored separately in a padded jewellery box to prevent scratching, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips.
