What periods do these pendants come from?

The pieces span multiple eras including the Victorian period, Edwardian times, and the Art Deco decades. Mid-century modern designs also appear frequently. Each period brings distinct stylistic choices and mounting techniques to the jewellery.

Are other gemstones combined with the emeralds?

Many designs incorporate diamonds as accent stones alongside the central green beryl. Sapphires, rubies, pearls, and aquamarines also appear in various cluster and drop configurations. These secondary stones complement the colour and sparkle of the main pendant.

How do I care for a vintage emerald pendant?

Emeralds require gentle cleaning without harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners due to their natural internal characteristics. Store the pendant separately to prevent scratching from harder gems like diamonds. Regular checks by a jeweller ensure the claw settings remain secure.
