What periods do these necklaces come from?

The pieces span the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, reflecting mid-century modern and retro design sensibilities. Some examples also incorporate Victorian or nineteenth-century elements through older stones or traditional motifs.

How were pearl necklaces typically worn?

Double and triple strand pearls were designed to sit closely around the neck as chokers or short strands. Longer graduated strands offered versatility for draping or doubling over during evening wear.

What metals are most common?

Yellow gold dominates the selection in various purities including 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, and 22ct. White gold and platinum also appear frequently, particularly in pieces featuring diamonds and sapphires.

Are the clasps meant to be hidden?

Mid-century designs frequently featured decorative clasps set with pearls, garnets, amethysts, or diamonds intended to be worn at the front or side. This allowed a functional element to double as the primary gemstone focal point of the jewellery.
