How do I wear a diamond pendant necklace?

These necklaces suit both everyday wear and formal occasions, pairing well with open necklines. Layering with simpler chains can also work depending on the length and weight of the pendant.

What periods do these necklaces come from?

The available pieces originate from the Edwardian era, circa 1900, as well as mid-century periods spanning the 1950s and 1960s. Each era brings distinct metal choices, such as platinum settings in earlier pieces and 9ct white gold in later decades.

How should I clean my gold and diamond necklace?

Use warm water, mild washing up liquid, and a very soft brush to gently remove oils from the stones and chain. Rinse thoroughly in clean water and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that might affect softer stones like pearls or amethysts.

Are coloured stones common in these designs?

Many pieces combine diamonds with gemstones like amethyst, aquamarine, topaz, and sapphire. These coloured stones often form the centrepiece of cluster pendants. Seed pearls and natural pearls also appear alongside diamonds in earlier Edwardian and mid-century items.
