Are these pearls natural or cultured?

The inventory spans both natural saltwater pearls from early periods and cultured pearls common in mid-century designs. Certified pieces explicitly note the origin of the pearls within their documentation. Examining the piece under magnification often reveals clues about the era and pearl type, aligning with the manufacturing dates of the surrounding gold and platinum settings.

Can I wear an antique pearl ring daily?

While 18ct gold provides a durable band for everyday wear, pearls sit low on the hardness scale and demand attentive care. Rings featuring delicate seed pearls or high-set cluster stones benefit from removal during heavy manual tasks. Selecting a sturdy bezel setting offers better protection for the pearl than older prong settings, though regular inspection by a jeweller remains essential to ensure the stones stay tight.

How do I identify the period of a piece?

Stylistic cues point directly to the era of manufacture, such as floral motifs and platinum-topped gold in Edwardian pieces or geometric symmetry in Art Deco designs. Maker's marks, assay office stamps, and specific gold hallmarks also provide precise chronological markers. Comparing the cut of the accompanying diamonds, such as old-cut stones versus mid-century round brilliants, helps confirm the date alongside the overall construction technique.
