FAQs

Mid Century jewellery, popular from the 1940s to the 1960s, often features clean lines, minimalist settings, and a strong focus on highlighting the natural properties of central gemstones.

These pieces typically combine natural blue sapphires set in precious metals such as platinum, white gold, or yellow gold, sometimes accented with small diamonds.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hallmarks, prong construction techniques typical of the era, gemstone inclusions visible under magnification, and overall metal patina.

A sapphire pendant pairs well with simple, understated necklines to let the vibrant blue stone act as a focal point, complementing both casual wear and formal evening attire.

Sapphires should be cleaned gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals, and stored separately in a lined box to prevent scratches on the metal and stones.
