• Fixing: Silver screw backs.

• Era: Continental European c.1900s.

FAQs

Austro-Hungarian jewellery from this period is characterised by heavy influences from Renaissance and Baroque revivals, featuring elaborate metalwork, colourful enamel, and multi-stone settings incorporating turquoise, garnets, and pearls.

Craftsmen typically utilised low-grade silver or gilt metals, complemented by hand-applied plique-a-jour or champleve enamel work, and set with cabochon and faceted stones in open or closed-back mounts.

Authenticity is assessed through hallmarks or Austro-Hungarian assay marks, the natural patination and oxidisation of the silver, hand-cut gemstones, and traditional construction methods such as distinct bezel settings and wire findings.

These statement pieces can be paired with minimalist contemporary attire to allow the intricate metalwork and vibrant stones to serve as a focal point, bridging historical craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.

Store pieces individually in soft pouches away from moisture and direct sunlight. Clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive polishes that can damage fragile enamel and soft turquoise stones.
