Edwardian jewellery is characterised by delicate, lace-like platinum settings, often combined with yellow gold, showcasing intricate openwork, millegrain detailing, and a frequent use of diamonds and pearls.

Authentic pieces from this era typically feature 18-carat yellow gold backs and mounts, paired with platinum top layers to securely hold diamonds, as platinum gained popularity for its strength and white lustre around the turn of the 20th century.

Old-cut diamonds, such as old European or old mine cuts, feature smaller tables, higher crowns, deeper pavilions, and noticeably larger culets compared to modern brilliant cuts, often exhibiting a softer, hand-polished sparkle under candlelight.

These refined pieces complement both classic evening wear and minimalist modern attire, adding a touch of historical craftsmanship and subtle sophistication when worn as a focal statement.

Store antique earrings individually in soft-lined pouches or jewellery boxes to prevent scratching, and clean them gently using a soft brush with warm soapy water, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners which can damage fragile settings or older stones.
