How do I wear a multi-strand pearl necklace?

Multi-strand pearls sit high on the collarbone as chokers or rest lower depending on the strand length. They pair well with evening wear and open necklines. Clasps set with garnets or diamonds are traditionally worn at the back, but many mid-century designs are decorative enough to display on the shoulder.

Are these necklaces hallmarked?

Many British pieces carry official hallmarks indicating the gold purity, sponsor mark, and year of assay. These stamps provide a reliable guide to the exact decade of manufacture. Items lacking a full hallmark often rely on style, construction methods, and material testing to confirm their mid-century origins.

How should I store my vintage gold necklace?

Store pearl necklaces flat in a lined box to prevent the silk thread from stretching over time. Keep gold chains separated to avoid tangling and scratching. Avoid exposing pearls to perfumes, hairsprays, or cosmetics, which can dull their natural lustre.

What is mid-century modern jewellery design?

Mid-century modern design embraces abstract forms, textured surfaces, and clean geometric lines. In gold necklaces, this translates to organic castings and asymmetric settings. This aesthetic moved away from traditional floral realism towards bold, sculptural expressions of metal and gemstone.
