FAQs

What are the different types of earrings?

Stud earrings are small, snug, and simple, often featuring diamonds for an elegant, everyday look.

Drop earrings hang just below the earlobe with a stationary design, offering a bit more length than studs.

Cluster earrings group multiple stones or gems together in a decorative, compact design, either as studs or with a slight drop.

Dangle earrings hang below the earlobe and move more freely, often featuring intricate designs for a dynamic look.

Hoop earrings loop from front to back, ranging from small and subtle to large and bold, with variations in shape.

Huggie earrings are mini hoops that wrap snugly around the earlobe, providing a sleek, catch-free option.

Chandelier earrings are ornate and luxurious, resembling a crystal chandelier, perfect for elegant, formal occasions

What style of earring is better for me?

While certain earring styles may flatter specific face shapes, the most important factor is how the earrings make you feel. Whether you choose drop earrings, hoops, huggies, or studs, if they bring you joy and confidence, they’ll undoubtedly look great.

How can I clean and maintain my earrings?

Earrings worn everyday should be cleaned very gently with warm water and a soft cloth. See our page (link) on exact methods for cleaning your jewellery by type and minimising damage. We recommend you have your jewellery professionally cleaned to ensure it is done safely. Contact us to book an appointment.

What makes an earring vintage?

Vintage earrings are pieces that are at least 20 to 30 years old, typically from the 1920s to the 1980s. Antique jewellery, on the other hand, is much older, typically over 100 years old.

Do they come insured?

Yes, all of our items are fully insured during shipping. From the moment your order is dispatched until it reaches your hands, we ensure it is protected. Every delivery is securely tracked and requires a signature upon arrival, offering you complete peace of mind. For further details or specific queries, feel free to contact us.

What is the condition of the products?

All vintage and pre-owned jewellery in our collection has been checked, restored
and cleaned in our workshop so they meet our high quality standards before they are sold. If a piece doesn’t pass our checks it doesn’t make it into our collection.

How can you check the purity of a vintage or antique earring?

If the earring is hallmarked that information will be displayed in the description and on the receipt. If not, then we will test the item and this will be noted in the product listing.
