What periods do these necklaces come from?

The selection includes pieces spanning the nineteenth century, Edwardian era, Art Deco period, and the nineteen-forties, nineteen-fifties, and nineteen-sixties. Mid-century modern and retro styles dominate the offerings, alongside occasional earlier Victorian and Edwardian works.

What materials are used in these pieces?

Constructions utilise fourteen-carat and eighteen-carat yellow and white gold, paired with gemstones such as diamonds, pearls, aquamarines, rubies, opals, and turquoises. Additional materials include coral, amethyst paste, sapphires, and emeralds set into sculptural mounts and chains.

How do I style a retro gold necklace?

These statement pieces work well against simple necklines that allow the bold gold links or large gem-set pendants to remain the focus. Heavier collars and multi-strand pearl necklaces can be worn as standalone accessories for evening wear or formal occasions.

Are these necklaces signed by makers?

Certain pieces feature maker signatures or French hallmarks stamped directly onto the gold mountings or clasps. Specific works highlight documented designers and Parisian workshops from the mid-century decades.
