What is a drop necklace?

A drop necklace suspends a single gemstone or a clustered pendant motif below the main chain line, often utilising platinum links. These pieces sit centrally on the chest, drawing the eye downward through geometric Art Deco arrangements.

How do I wear drop earrings?

Drop earrings hang below the earlobe, moving with the wearer to showcase old cut diamonds and coloured stones. They pair well with updo hairstyles that leave the neck and jawline completely uncovered.

What defines Art Deco style?

Art Deco design relies on straight lines, sharp angles, symmetry, and stylised motifs rather than floral curves. Jewellery from this era uses platinum to build architectural frameworks around diamonds and contrasting coloured gems.

Are pearls natural in these pieces?

Pearls incorporated into 1920s drop earrings and pendants sit alongside diamonds within platinum mountings. They add a luminous contrast to the crisp sparkle of old cut stones and white metal.
