FAQs

Art Deco jewellery, prominent from the 1920s to the 1930s, is characterised by geometric shapes, stylised motifs, symmetrical designs, and a strong modernist aesthetic that moved away from the flowing curves of the preceding Art Nouveau period.

Blue John is a rare form of fluorite mineral found almost exclusively in Treak Cliff Cavern and Blue John Cavern in Castleton, Derbyshire, England. It is prized for its distinctive purple, blue, and yellow banded colouration.

Authentic vintage screw-back earrings typically feature mechanical threaded screws with a small paddle or knurled knob used to adjust the fitting, often stamped with silver hallmarks or metal purity marks on the reverse.

Vintage gemstone jewellery can be incorporated into contemporary styling by pairing them with minimalist outfits to allow the historical pieces to serve as a focal point, or by displaying them on decorative trays in a bedroom setting.

Antique silver and Blue John should be cleaned gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove oils and dust. Avoid harsh chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to water, as fluorite is a relatively soft and porous mineral.
