How were these necklaces worn originally?

Original pieces were worn as sophisticated evening or day adornments, sitting high on the collarbone or cascading lower in lavalier and festoon formats. They complemented the high collars and softer silhouettes fashionable during the Edwardian era.

Are these necklaces made of solid gold?

Many examples utilise solid gold, ranging from nine carat and fifteen carat yellow or rose gold up to eighteen carat white gold. Some pieces also combine gold with silver settings on the face to highlight diamonds and other stones effectively.

How do I care for antique pearl jewellery?

Pearl components require gentle handling, keeping them away from harsh chemicals, perfumes and ultrasonic cleaners. Stitched seed pearl arrangements benefit from periodic inspection and restringing to maintain the integrity of the silk or thread.
