Travel Through Time
Edwardian jewellery belongs to an age of elegance, optimism and graceful refinement. Designers used platinum to create airy settings that allowed diamonds and pearls to appear almost suspended against the skin.
Bows, ribbons, wreaths and garlands gave jewellery a softness inspired by lace, embroidery and eighteenth-century courtly ornament. The result was jewellery that looked delicate while demanding remarkable technical skill.
London & Paris, 1908
Platinum transformed diamonds, pearls and coloured gemstones into lace-like compositions filled with light.Edwardian jewellery may contain extremely fine platinum work, delicate milgrain, natural pearls, foil-backed stones or historic repairs. Avoid knocks, chemicals and unnecessary pressure around pierced settings.
Details to Discover
Pierced platinum and fine wirework allowed jewellers to create intricate, open designs that felt lighter than earlier jewellery.
Ribbons, swags, wreaths and bow motifs reflected the romantic neoclassical style associated with Edwardian and Belle Époque design.
Minute beaded edges softened the outlines of platinum settings, adding texture while helping diamonds remain the visual focus.
A Palette of Light
Platinum’s strength allowed settings to become finer, lighter and more open while securely holding diamonds and gemstones.
Old European, old mine, rose and small single-cut diamonds brought a distinctive hand-cut brilliance to Edwardian designs.
Natural pearls were especially prized and often paired with diamonds in necklaces, brooches, pendants and delicate garland jewels.
Sapphire, ruby, emerald, opal and other coloured stones could introduce restrained colour within predominantly white platinum jewellery.
