One of the most iconic jewellery trends of the Edwardian Era was the Collier de Chien, also formally known as a 'Dog Collar' choker. Although choker-style necklaces have been around for centuries, Queen Alexandra, the consort-wife of King Edward IV, popularised the dog collar trend, which was reportedly used to conceal a childhood scar on her neck.

About Antique Jewellery

Antique jewellery refers to pieces that are over 100 years old, each one carrying the charm, craftsmanship, and story of a bygone era.

From the intricate designs of the Victorian period to the romantic flourishes of the Edwardian era, antique jewellery reflects the aesthetics, materials, and social values of its time.

Often handcrafted with exceptional detail and set with natural gemstones, these treasures are not only beautiful adornments but also tangible links to history, love, and legacy.

How to care for your Jewellery

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewellery from Avenue J Jewellery will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan.

We encourage you to have your jewellery checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweller every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place.

It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one!

As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewellers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewellery.
