FAQs

Art Deco jewellery, prominent during the 1920s and 1930s, is defined by geometric shapes, clean lines, and bold colour contrasts. Influenced by industrialisation and modernism, pieces frequently featured symmetrical patterns and angular stone settings.

These pieces typically feature sterling silver settings set with iron pyrite stones to create a subtle glitter. Primary focal stones often included opaque or semi-translucent gemstones such as chrysoprase, onyx, or jade.

Authentic pieces from this period usually exhibit silver fineness hallmarks, millgrain edging, and bead-set or grain-set marcasites rather than modern glued stones. The metalwork behind the stones often features intricate geometric pierced or stepped filigree.

Art Deco drop earrings pair well with sleek evening wear, tailored blazers, or minimalist necklines to allow the geometric silver detail to serve as a focal point. Their subtle sparkle renders them suitable for both formal events and refined daytime wear.

Clean marcasite and silver jewellery using a soft, dry polishing cloth without liquid cleaners or ultrasonic baths, which can loosen the set stones. Store pieces in a dry, lined jewellery box away from humidity to prevent silver tarnish and stone damage.
