How do I wear an antique pendant that is also a brooch?

Most convertible pieces feature a hidden hinged pin and a separate folding or fixed loop for a chain on the reverse. This allows the jewel to pin securely to lapels or suspend from ribbons and gold chains. When wearing the piece as a pendant, ensure the pin catch is securely closed to prevent it from snagging on clothing fabrics.

What is the difference between Victorian and Edwardian gold work?

Victorian pieces often display heavier, warmer yellow and rose gold tones with sentimental motifs like snakes, pansies, and puffy hearts. Gemstones such as garnets, coral, and amethysts appear frequently in these nineteenth-century designs. Edwardian and Belle Epoque pieces shift towards lighter white gold or platinum settings paired with diamonds and pearls, favouring airy garlands and lace-like openwork.

Can I put a photo inside these lockets?

Many of these pieces were built as compartments for holding photographic portraits, locks of hair, or small mementos. Most retain their interior glass or metal frame rings. Opening them requires finding the tiny fingernail notch or hinge seam, though older closures can be stiff and benefit from professional handling.

How should I clean high-carat gold jewellery?

Eighteen-carat gold is relatively soft due to its high gold purity content and requires gentle care. Warm water and mild soap applied with a soft cloth will remove everyday surface oils. Avoid harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners, especially if the pendant contains pearls, enamel, or foil-backed gemstones.
