How can I tell the Victorian period from the Edwardian?

Victorian pieces often display heavier silver mounts, darker patination, and romantic or naturalistic motifs such as crosses, coiled snakes, and mourning hairwork. Gemstones from this era are frequently set in closed backs or foil-backed collets to maximise sparkle under artificial light. Edwardian items transition towards lighter, lacy openwork made possible by platinum-topped silver settings and delicate millegrain edges. The overall aesthetic becomes airier, favouring garlands, bows, and pastel stones like pearls, aquamarines, and light sapphires.

What is piqué work on tortoiseshell?

Piqué work involves heating fine points or strips of silver and gold and pressing them directly into softened tortoiseshell. As the shell cools, it grips the metal securely, creating intricate dotted or linear patterns. This technique requires careful handling because tortoiseshell is sensitive to heat, moisture, and harsh chemical cleaning agents. Store these items away from direct sunlight to prevent the organic shell from warping or drying out over time.

How do I care for antique silver jewellery?

Clean antique silver gently with a soft microfibre cloth to remove surface dust without disturbing the natural patina accumulated over the decades. Avoid abrasive commercial dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and abrasive toothpastes that can strip thin gilt layers or damage softer organic gems like pearls and turquoise. Keep pieces stored individually in lined boxes or acid-free tissue to prevent scratching from harder diamonds or surrounding items. Minimise exposure to perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions which can discolour vulnerable enamel and softer stones.
