How do I date a silver pearl pendant?

Dating relies on stylistic markers such as the flowing lines of Art Nouveau, the geometric forms of Art Deco, or the heavier ornamentation of Victorian and Neo-Renaissance pieces. Materials and techniques also guide dating, as seed pearls and enamel work are particularly characteristic of Edwardian and Arts and Crafts examples.

How should I care for enamel and pearls?

Enamel is a glass-like substance that can chip or scratch upon impact, while pearls are organic gems sensitive to acids, cosmetics, and harsh cleaning agents. Gentle cleaning with a soft, damp cloth preserves both the lustre of the pearl and the integrity of the enamel and silver.

What distinguishes Art Nouveau from Art Deco pendants?

Art Nouveau designs draw inspiration from the natural world, featuring organic curves, floral motifs, and landscape enamel work. Art Deco pieces favour symmetrical, geometric structures, often incorporating stylised motifs like butterflies alongside stones such as moonstones and marcasite.
