What periods do these pieces date from?

The pieces span the Victorian era, the nineteen-twenties and the nineteen-fifties. Each period introduces distinct design languages to the gold settings. Victorian items often feature seed pearls and higher carat gold, whilst later decades favour geometric art deco lines and streamlined drop configurations.

What metals are used in the settings?

Makers utilised various purities of gold, predominantly nine-carat yellow gold alongside fifteen-carat gold for earlier Victorian pieces. The warm tone of the metal enhances the golden colour of the quartz. These alloys provide the structural durability needed for daily wear while maintaining a traditional appearance.

How should I care for antique citrine jewellery?

Store each piece individually in a soft pouch to prevent the gold and stones from scratching against other items. Remove jewellery before swimming, bathing or applying cosmetics to protect the metal and any delicate seed pearls. Clean the citrine gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.

Are these pieces suitable for everyday wear?

Citrine is a durable variety of quartz well-suited for rings, earrings and bangles worn with reasonable care. However, older settings require gentle treatment to preserve the integrity of the prongs and hinges. Checking the security of the stones periodically ensures they remain firmly anchored in their historical mounts.
