How do I wear drop earrings safely?

Ensure the hinge back or fastening mechanism clicks firmly into place before wearing them out. Heavier drop designs benefit from supportive backing discs to distribute weight evenly on the lobe. Store them individually in lined boxes to prevent the cluster facets from scratching adjacent pairs.

What is an old cut diamond?

Old cut diamonds are hand-faceted stones shaped before the standardisation of the modern brilliant cut in the early twentieth century. They possess distinctive open culets and smaller tables that catch candlelight and low illumination effectively. These stones define the authentic character of Victorian and Edwardian cluster designs.

How do I identify an Art Deco pair?

Art Deco earrings feature geometric symmetry, sharp lines, and extensive use of platinum alongside white gold. They frequently incorporate calibrated sapphires, emeralds, or aquamarines framing the central diamond cluster. Drop lengths during this period often emphasise linear movement and architectural shapes.

Can I convert screw back earrings?

Many vintage pairs utilise non-pierced screw back mechanisms that can be converted by a professional jeweller. The original fittings should be preserved if they possess distinct hallmarks or maker marks. Standard post fittings can usually be added without altering the decorative cluster drop portion.
