FAQs

Late Victorian jewellery from the late nineteenth century frequently featured nature-inspired forms, including floral motifs and starbursts. Opals gained immense popularity during this period, often paired with rose-cut or old-mine cut diamonds to create contrasting textures and light reflections.

Victorian craftspeople commonly used 15ct gold as a standard for fine jewellery alongside silver settings. Silver-topped gold was a prevalent technique used to set diamonds, ensuring the yellow gold tone did not distort the colourless appearance of the stones.

Authentic pieces display a distinct dual-metal construction where a thin layer of silver is layered over gold backing. Furthermore, British pieces from this era may feature 15ct hallmarks, a purity standard that was officially discontinued in 1932.

An antique pendant can be layered with fine contemporary gold chains of varying lengths for a modern, textured look. It functions equally well suspended from a delicate silk cord or a traditional gold trace chain.

Opals are relatively soft and porous gemstones, requiring gentle cleaning with a soft, damp cloth rather than harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Store the item away from direct heat and sudden temperature changes to prevent cracking or crazing of the stones.
