FAQs

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, and is typically divided into three distinct eras: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic. The style often reflects the societal sentiments, technological advancements, and sentimental motifs popular during the 19th century.

Jewellery from this period frequently utilised 9ct and 15ct gold, silver, and pinchbeck, often incorporating natural gemstones, seed pearls, and intricate hand-engraving. Construction typically involved hand-fabrication, granulation, repousse, and chased work executed by skilled artisans.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-appropriate closures such as wire hooks or shepherds hooks, handcrafted metalwork with slight irregularities, and appropriate hallmarks indicating gold fineness and assay offices. Examination under magnification reveals hand-tooling marks rather than modern casting textures.

These historical pieces can be paired with modern minimalist attire to create a striking contrast, allowing the intricate craftsmanship and warm metallic tones to stand out. They also complement tailored vintage-inspired ensembles for a cohesive period aesthetic.

Preserve antique gold pieces by storing them individually in soft-lined jewellery boxes to prevent scratching and avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or perfumes. Gentle cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth is recommended to maintain the metals natural patina.
