How do I clean antique silver?

Clean sterling silver items gently using a soft cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive pads that destroy original surface textures. Take care around enamel panels and set stones, keeping moisture away from stone settings and wooden components.

Can I wear vintage silver enamel jewellery daily?

Enamel jewellery survives regular wear when handled with care, but it remains susceptible to impact fractures and harsh chemicals. Remove rings, bracelets and pendants before swimming, bathing, or engaging in physical tasks to protect the glasswork.

What defines the Aesthetic Movement style?

The Aesthetic Movement prioritised visual beauty over narrative meaning, incorporating clean lines and Japanese-inspired motifs into metalwork. Objects from this design shift often feature minimalist forms alongside contrasting materials like ebonised wood.

How do I identify a silversmith mark?

Makers stamp their initials or company symbols into the metal alongside assay office symbols and date letters. Consulting hallmark reference guides helps connect these stamped initials to specific workshops and production years.
