FAQs

Mid-century modernist silver jewellery from the 1960s typically features organic, asymmetrical forms, prominent natural gemstones, and bespoke silver mountings that showcase the natural contours of the stone.

These pendants feature solid natural milk opals, characterised by a light or milky body tone with plays of iridescent colour, set within silver mounts using custom claw or bezel settings.

Authentic pieces from this period often display makers marks or silver purity hallmarks, visible hand-tooling on the settings, and natural, non-synthetic opals with unique internal color variations.

Vintage jewellery can be integrated into interior decor by displaying it on marble vanity trays, inside glass shadow boxes, or suspended from brass display stands on a dressing table.

Opals should be kept away from extreme temperature changes, prolonged dryness, and harsh chemicals, while silver mountings should be cleaned gently using a soft microfibre polishing cloth.
