Collection
The Edwardian years were the moment platinum changed what jewelry could look like. Strong enough to hold a diamond in almost no metal at all, it let jewelers pierce, saw and millegrain settings into lace: garlands, bows, ribbons and laurel wreaths that look weightless on the skin. Add pearls, old European cut diamonds and the occasional sapphire, and you have the most delicate jewelry of the last two centuries.

About edwardian
Edwardian jewelry (roughly 1901 to 1915) is platinum, light and lace-like: milgrain edges, fine filigree, garlands and bows, usually set with old European and old mine cut diamonds.
Every piece here is checked at our own bench before it goes online: metal karat tested, marks read under magnification, stones and settings examined, and condition described as we find it. Anything we cannot verify is left as not specified rather than guessed, and we will show you any piece live on video before you buy.
Pieces from this period typically sit between roughly $900 and $8,000 with us, depending on gold weight, stone quality and condition.
Indicative only. Every curated vintage, antique and estate piece is one of a kind and priced on its own merits, with free insured US shipping.
Personal service
Three ways to go further, all of them with a person on the other side.
One of our jewelers takes any piece to daylight and shows you the hallmark, the setting and any wear, live and in your own time zone.
Book a viewingOur buyers are with European estates and auction houses every week. Describe the piece and we write to you the moment something right comes in.
We will source itOur Atelier pieces are newly handcrafted in our own workshop, taking their cues from the vintage and antique jewelry we have spent decades restoring. New work with a vintage soul, never sold as antique.
Explore AtelierIt is also the most fragile. Fine platinum lace, knife-edge wires and natural pearls all need checking before a piece can honestly be sold as wearable, so every Edwardian piece we list has been through our bench: solder repairs found, thin sections identified, pearl drilling and knotting inspected, and clasps serviced or renewed.
Because so much Edwardian work is pierced by hand, no two pieces are alike, and each one here is a single stock item. Our gemologist assesses the diamonds and any pearls, and dates the piece from its construction, hallmark and cuts. Where the record is incomplete, the listing says so. We have been doing this from the Netherlands since 1973, and every piece ships free, insured and duty-paid to the US.
The signatures of the period are pierced platinum galleries, millegrain beading along every edge, garland and bow motifs, and knife-edge wires that let light through the setting. Platinum on gold — a platinum top over a yellow gold back — is common in the early years and is not a fault.
Old European cut diamonds dominate, often paired with natural or, later, cultured pearls. Our gemologist assesses cut, colour and clarity in the setting and records anything relevant, including where a stone has clearly been replaced later. Pearl strands are checked for wear at the drill holes and restrung when needed.
These pieces were made for occasional wear, and they reward it. We note where a ring can safely be resized, where a brooch pin has been renewed, and where a piece is better kept for evenings. Nothing leaves us that our goldsmith would not put on his own family.
