By We all love antique jewellery and there aren’t many women that do not have at least one antique piece in their jewellery collection, especially to accessorise special occasions. One of the most popular forms of jewellery is the earring and through the different eras, there have been some fine examples of classic style earrings, from Louis XVI to the Victorian period.
Here are some tips when wearing fine antique earrings to ensure you always look elegant and stylish.
- Make Good Use Of Technology – When searching for antique jewellery, an online search will lead you to antique dealers offering their own collection of antique earrings. Aside from having an extensive catalogue of genuine antiques, they are able to source any specific piece that you have in mind, thanks to their national network of antique dealers. This is especially important during these COVID times and using the Internet, you can acquire authentic antique earrings from a reputable dealer.
- Minimal Look – It is never a good idea to wear too much jewellery, antique or otherwise and if you are going out for an evening dinner, a pair of earrings and a brooch or necklace would suffice. There are many periods, each with its own unique style, with droop earrings that are suitable for slightly formal wear and with Art Deco styles, you have the perfect party accessories.
- Range Of Colours – If you have a good collection of antique earrings, you should have deep colours from semi-precious stones and these items can bring in a little rich colour to your look. If you would like to add to your collection, browse the online antique dealer’s website, where you will find antique earrings for sale, from all periods. Sapphires, rubies and emeralds are all great ways to inject rich colour to your outfit, with stunning earrings from the online antique dealer.
- Insurance – If you are the proud owner of a pair of antique diamond earrings, perhaps you should take out some insurance that covers loss or damage, as it would be very costly to have to replace them.
- Storing Valuable Antique Jewellery – Fine pieces of antique jewellery should each be kept in a small felt or velvet bag, which should be stored inside a jewellery box. If the jewellery touches hard surfaces, it might get damaged and whenever the items are not worn, they should be stored in a suitable way.
- Cleaning Antique Earrings – Cleaning delicate earrings can be a challenge and submersing them in a mild soapy water and maybe light brushing with a soft-bristle toothbrush will bring out the best in them. Damp cotton buds can also be a very effective way to clean antique jewellery, taking the greatest of care while doing so.
If you would like to acquire some antique earrings, search with Google for a local antique dealer, where you can browse their catalogue and should you wish to make a purchase, a secure online payment will see the items shipped by courier to your home address.
