FAQs

Edwardian jewellery, spanning from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by light, airy designs, platinum settings, and the frequent use of diamonds, pearls, and colourless stones like rock crystal to create delicate, lace-like motifs.

These pieces typically utilised sterling silver or platinum settings, faceted marcasite pyrite stones for sparkle, and natural quartz crystals such as rock crystal, often shaped into spheres for optical effects.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-cut stones, closed-back or specific early prong settings, silver hallmarks characteristic of the period, and signs of age-related patina on the metalwork.

Antique earrings can be styled as a focal point with simple, modern evening wear or paired with minimalist contemporary silver accessories to let the historical craftsmanship stand out.

Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to avoid damaging the silver or crystal, store pieces individually in lined boxes to prevent scratches, and keep them away from harsh chemical cleaners and ultrasonic baths.
