jewellery periods
Georgian Jewellery - 1714-1837
The Georgian Period was a time when jewellery styles were heavily influenced by nature, when a great deal of jewellery was being fashioned into such things as leaves, insects, birds and later, designs such as sprays of foliage, starbursts, crescents, feathers and baskets of flowers. Jewellery of the time tended to be of a smaller and lighter fashion with clusters of gems and ribbon style bows, supported by pear-shaped......... Read More About Georgian Jewellery
Victorian Jewellery - 1837 - 1901
The early Victorian jewellery style tended to symbolize a romantic view about the natural world, as these were romantic times with the Princess newly becoming Queen Victoria and recently marrying her sweet-heart, Prince Albert. People often owned rings, bracelets and lockets containing pictures or a lock of a loved ones hair. Engraving messages and personalizing jewellery also became a popular way of showing their devotion to a loved one.
This period was also heavily influenced by the East and new fashions for ‘Japonaiserie’, a style which depicted flora and fauna images in their jewellery developed. Birmingham was at the center of this movement and produced ..............Read More About Victorian Jewellery.
Art Nouveau Jewellery - 1890-1915
The name Art Nouveau derives from ' La Maison De L'art Nouveau ' the Parisian gallery which featured designs by Rene Lalique, Emile Gaffe & Louis C Tiffany. This design period emerged towards the end of Queen Victoria's reign and continued into the Edwardian Period. It was based on a return to craftsmanship and the design of jewellery rather than the material used and so semi-precious stones like opal, topaz, moonstone, peridot, chalcedony, amethyst, aquamarine, demantoid garnet, among others, became fashionable. Baroque pearls dangled from pendants or brooches to represent pods or.........................Read More About Art Nouveau Jewellery.
Edwardian Jewellery - 1901-1915
The Edwardian period lasted from 1901 to 1915 and was a time of wealth, refinement, elegance and security, often referred to as ' La Belle Epoque ', meaning ' Beautiful Era '.

Art Deco Jewellery - 1920-1935
The Art Deco Period spans from 1920 -1935. ' Art Deco ' was originally referred to as ' Style Moderne ' and was said to be named after the 1925 ' Paris Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes '. During this period jewellery making took its lead from the Abstract and Cubist 'modern art' movement, giving rise to designs of strong symmetry, geometry and streamlined shapes. The strong archtecturial influences of the time of bold straight lines and stepped edges also helped to pave the way for a taste in combining contrasting tones like black and white. Diamonds and light colored gemstones were mixed with dark materials such as black onyx or Bakelite, for a striking...........................Read More About Art Deco Jewellery.
Retro Jewellery - 1935-1950
The Retro Period is often known as the ' Beatnik/ Modernist ' due to the influences of Hollywood and the new technologies of the age.

Aquamarine, citrine, topaz and synthetics became ever more popular.
