How should I clean pearl jewellery?

Pearls possess a soft organic nacre that requires gentle maintenance using a soft, damp cloth after wearing. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, ultrasonic baths, and prolonged immersion in water. Store necklaces flat to prevent stretching the silk thread, and keep them separate from harder gemstones that might scratch the surface.

Are these pearls natural or cultured?

The inventory contains a mixture of natural saltwater pearls and cultured varieties, depending on the manufacturing period. Edwardian and earlier pieces more commonly feature natural gems, while mid-century items frequently incorporate cultured pearls. Laboratory certificates provided with specific listings often detail the origin and formation method of the pearls.

How do I date an Edwardian piece?

Edwardian items, produced during the reign of King Edward VII, typically utilise platinum paired with yellow gold to create light, lace-like platinum settings. Motifs often include garlands, ribbons, and floral clusters. The combination of millegrain edging and old-cut diamonds serves as another reliable indicator of this period.

Can antique pearl necklaces be restrung?

Many vintage and antique necklaces are professionally restrung to ensure structural security during regular wear. Restringing often incorporates modern silk or synthetic thread while retaining the original clasp. Listings frequently note whether a necklace has been recently restrung for buyer peace of mind.
