How do I care for a pearl and diamond necklace?

Store pearl strands flat in a soft pouch away from other jewellery to prevent scratching the delicate nacre surfaces. Wipe pearls gently with a damp cloth after wearing to remove oils. Keep chemical perfumes and hairsprays away from both the pearls and the metal mountings. Have silk-strung necklaces checked periodically by a specialist to ensure the threads remain secure.

Are these diamonds certified?

Many pieces include specific gemological certification documenting stone characteristics and pearl origins. AnchorCert and other laboratory reports frequently accompany the pearl necklaces listed here. Review individual listing details to confirm whether a certificate is supplied with the specific pendant or clasp.

What is the difference between single and multi-strand pearl necklaces?

Single strand necklaces feature one continuous line of pearls leading to the diamond clasp. They offer a classic, understated silhouette typical of everyday Jazz Age fashion. Multi-strand versions use two or three rows of pearls, creating a fuller, more substantial neckline designed for formal evening attire.

Can I wear a 1920s pendant every day?

Platinum and gold mountings from this era are durable, but antique pieces require thoughtful handling during daily routines. Remove necklaces before swimming, exercising, or sleeping. Treating the delicate platinum openwork and old cut stones with care preserves the integrity of the original settings.
