What Defines an Edwardian Necklace?

Edwardian necklaces are instantly recognisable for their delicate, lace-like designs and refined use of materials. Advances in platinum allowed jewellers to create intricate openwork settings that appear almost weightless, often featuring:

  • Old-cut and rose-cut diamonds

  • Natural pearls and pearl drops

  • Garland-style swags, bows, and festoons

  • Fine millegrain detailing and symmetrical frameworks

These necklaces were designed to complement the flowing fashions of the era and remain as elegant today as when they were first worn.
