What defines an Art Deco geometric necklace?

An Art Deco geometric necklace relies on symmetrical patterns, straight lines, and repeating squares, rectangles, or triangles. These pieces often feature contrasting materials such as platinum and onyx or chrome and coloured glass. The aesthetic breaks away from organic floral curves in favour of industrial precision and architectural silhouettes.

How do I care for antique plastic jewellery?

Antique plastic pieces like Bakelite or Galalith require gentle handling and should be kept away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and prolonged direct sunlight. Clean them softly with a dry or barely damp cloth rather than soaking them in water. Store each necklace separately in a fabric pouch to prevent surface scratches and material degradation over time.

Are these necklaces made of solid platinum?

Many high-end pieces from the period utilise solid platinum or white gold for durability and strength, particularly when securing fine diamonds. Other examples employ silver, silver plating, or chrome over base metals. Examination of the metal colour and hallmarks, where present, helps clarify the composition of the frame and chain.

How can I tell Edwardian from Art Deco pieces?

Edwardian designs usually feature lace-like platinum openwork, delicate swags, and softer feminine motifs like pearls and aquamarines. Art Deco pieces introduce bolder contrast, sharper angles, and industrial symmetry. The transition reflects a shift from delicate Edwardian craftsmanship to rigid modernist geometry following the First World War.
