How do I care for antique pearl jewellery?

Pearls are organic gems that require gentle handling and should be kept away from cosmetics, perfumes, and harsh chemicals. Wipe them softly with a clean, damp cloth after wearing. Store your pieces individually in soft pouches to prevent scratching from harder diamonds or platinum mounts, and have stringing checked periodically if worn often.

What defines Edwardian jewellery style?

Edwardian jewellery is characterised by lightness, grace, and the prominent use of platinum alongside yellow gold. Designs often incorporate floral motifs, garlands, and lace-like openwork. Jewellers utilised millegrain borders and delicate settings to showcase diamonds and pearls with an airy, refined aesthetic.

Are these pearls natural?

Many pieces from this period incorporate natural pearls or natural saltwater pearls formed without human intervention, as cultured pearls became common only later. Certification is often available for significant specimens. Examinations by gemmological laboratories confirm the origin and growth characteristics of these organic gems.

Can these pendants be worn daily?

While these antique items were built with considerable skill, their delicate platinum settings and organic pearls warrant careful treatment. Occasional wear for special occasions helps preserve their structural integrity. Avoid wearing them during rigorous physical activities or exposure to water to protect the historic mounts and natural pearls.
