How do I wear an antique brooch?

Pin the piece securely through heavier fabrics like wool, tweed, or velvet to support the weight of the gold and gemstones. Ensure the safety catch is fully engaged before stepping out. For a modern look, fasten the brooch onto lapels, heavy knitwear, scarves, or even the waistbands of tailored trousers.

What is the difference between 9ct and 15ct gold?

Fifteen-carat gold contains a higher proportion of pure gold than 9ct gold, resulting in a richer, deeper golden hue. British makers utilised 15ct extensively during the Victorian and Edwardian eras before it was largely replaced by 9ct and 18ct standards. Pieces marked with 15ct indicate an older British standard of precious metal purity.

How should I clean my antique gold brooch?

Gently wipe the gold and hard gemstones with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust. Avoid submerging pearl-set pieces in liquid cleaning solutions, as moisture can weaken the adhesive holding seed pearls in place. Store the brooch in a lined box away from other jewellery to prevent scratches on softer stones like turquoise and pearls.
