How do I wear a pearl necklace with a sapphire clasp?

These pearl strands can be worn with the jewelled clasp positioned at the back for a traditional look. Alternatively, many collectors rotate the clasp to the front to display the sapphire and diamond cluster as a pendant.

What is the difference between Victorian and Art Deco pieces?

Victorian pieces often utilise yellow gold and organic motifs such as floral designs or bows. Art Deco pieces favour geometric platinum settings with calibre cut stones. Line and symmetry dominate the later period, whereas earlier items display softer contours.

Are all sapphires in these necklaces heated?

Gem reports accompany certain pieces to specify whether sapphires are natural and unheated. Unheated stones originate from specific locations like Ceylon and retain their untreated clarity.
