FAQs

Art Deco jewellery is characterised by geometric shapes, stylised natural motifs such as insects and flora, and a strong emphasis on symmetry and bold colour contrasts using enamels and gemstones.

These pieces typically utilised sterling silver or white metals combined with vitreous enamel work, such as plique-a-jour or guilloche, applied to hand-soldered metal frames.

Authentic pieces often feature period hallmarks, traditional c-clasps or safety roll-catches, hand-applied enamel showing natural microscopic crazing, and authentic patination on the reverse.

In fashion, a brooch can be pinned to lapels, scarves, or hats as a focal accessory, while in interior styling, smaller pieces are often mounted in shadow boxes or displayed on speciality trays.

Silver components should be cleaned gently with a specialist polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage fragile vitreous enamel and compromise historical patination.
