FAQs

Screwback findings were widely used for non-pierced ears from the late Victorian era through to the mid-20th century, allowing the wearer to adjust the tension of the closure for comfort and security.

These pieces typically feature low-carat gold, such as 9ct, combined with natural seed pearls or cultured pearls, often set by hand using grain or bezel settings common in period craftsmanship.

Authenticity is usually verified through hallmarks or makers marks stamped on the reverse or findings, testing the metal purity, and examining the ageing characteristics of the pearls and gold settings under magnification.

Vintage earrings add a touch of historical character and refined detail to contemporary outfits, pairing well with both minimalist everyday wear and formal evening attire.

Pearls are organic gems that require gentle cleaning with a soft, damp cloth after wear, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to cosmetics or perfumes.
