FAQs

Dormeuse earrings, translating from the French word for sleeper, originated in the nineteenth century and were originally designed to be worn overnight without causing discomfort. They typically feature a secure lever-back mechanism and a low-profile drop design.

Pieces from this period frequently utilised a combination of yellow gold and platinum. Platinum gained popularity around the turn of the twentieth century due to its strength and ability to securely hold diamonds while presenting a bright, white surface.

Authentic items often feature hand-cut diamonds such as old mine or old European cuts, paired with characteristic makers marks or assay stamps on the gold and platinum mounts, along with construction techniques typical of hand-fabricated or early cast jewellery.

While these are personal adornments rather than interior decor, antique jewellery can be displayed on a vanity tray, within a glass-topped display case, or styled alongside other vintage accessories on a dressing table.

Preservation involves storing pieces individually in soft pouches or lined boxes to prevent scratching. Cleaning should be done gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips that could damage the metal or settings.
