Are these pearls natural or cultured?

The selection includes both natural saltwater pearls found in earlier twentieth-century pieces and cultured pearls common in nineteen-fifties designs. Independent gemmological reports accompanying specific items confirm the exact origin and formation method of the pearls.

Can I wear these pieces every day?

Whilst precious metals and diamonds withstand regular wear, delicate pearl strands and vintage silk threading require careful handling and occasional restringing. Limit exposure to cosmetics, perfumes, and water to preserve the natural lustre of the pearls over time.

How do I identify the period of a clasp?

Stylistic cues such as platinum geometric filigree indicate Art Deco origins, whereas yellow gold floral motifs typically point to nineteen-fifties production. Assay office hallmarks stamped on the metal provide official date letters and geographic markers for British items.
