How do I care for antique turquoise jewellery?

Turquoise is a relatively soft and porous gemstone that absorbs oils, cosmetics and water easily. Clean these pieces only with a dry or very slightly damp soft cloth, and remove them before washing hands or applying lotions. Store antique gold turquoise items individually in lined boxes to prevent harder gemstones like diamonds from scratching the polished cabochon surfaces.

How can I tell Victorian turquoise from Edwardian pieces?

Victorian items typically feature heavier, warmer gold alloys such as fifteen-carat and eighteen-carat, often incorporating sentimental motifs like knots, hearts and mourning elements. Stone settings during this period tend to be robust, sometimes backed with foil or closed backs in earlier examples. Edwardian pieces generally utilise nine-carat rose or yellow gold alongside platinum or silver settings, favouring lighter, airier openwork designs like garlands, bows and delicate drops.

Were turquoise rings worn for specific meanings?

Turquoise held significant symbolic value during the nineteenth century, frequently representing forget-me-nots, enduring friendship and good fortune. Jewellers combined turquoise with pearls and diamonds in ring and brooch designs to convey specific romantic or sentimental messages. Specific configurations, such as forget-me-knot motifs and multi-stone cluster rings, were chosen by givers and wearers to express loyalty and remembrance.
