How do I care for antique gold jewellery?

Care for antique gold jewellery involves gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and avoiding harsh chemical dips, ultrasonic machines or abrasive brushes. Many pieces contain foil-backed stones, seed pearls or delicate enamel that can be damaged by moisture or heat.

How do I tell Edwardian pendants from Victorian ones?

Victorian pieces often feature heavier gold weights, Etruscan revival motifs, dark garnets and substantial lockets, reflecting earlier romantic and revivalist trends. Edwardian pieces favour lighter construction, platinum-topped gold, knife-edge drops, and pastel gems like peridots, aquamarines and seed pearls.

Did these necklaces always come with chains?

Many pendant necklaces survive with their original period chains, such as trombone links or knife-edge designs, while others were originally sold as standalone brooches or pendants. Sellers often pair loose antique pendants with period-appropriate gold chains to match the carat and colour of the main piece.
