✨ The Signature Style: Platinum, Lace, and Diamonds

Edwardian jewellery marks a pivotal moment in history, as it was the first period where platinum was widely used, transforming jewellery design.

• Lacy and Lightweight: Brooches from this era are famous for their filigree, open-work, and mille-grain settings, giving them a light, airy, and "lacy" look.

• The Power of Platinum: Platinum's superior strength allowed jewellers to use minimal metal, enhancing the prominence and sparkle of the stones.

• The Primary Stones: Expect to find a dazzling array of Old European Cut diamonds and natural pearls, often set in classic motifs like bows, garlands, and laurel wreaths.

• Motifs: Common designs include bows, ribbons, wreaths, stars, crescents, and delicate floral sprays.
