Georgian years: 1714-1837 the georgian era took place during the reigns of the four king georges of england and its jewelry is considered to be the most feminine. This was, after all, the time of marie antoinette and jane austen. "a bride with a sense of romance would be drawn to a georgian engagement ring," says clive kandel, jewelry consultant for 1stdibs. Com. Natural, floral, and ancient greco-roman motifs were popular during this era, while settings were mostly made out of gold or silver.

Edwardian Diamond Brooch/Pendant Necklace

Edward was a lover of luxury and this led to a revival of handcrafted jewellery using platinum and diamonds. The style of the time was delicate and filigree settings were popular. Pearls were more expensive than diamonds and a status symbol for higher society, and were often paired with diamonds to make ornate jewellery. Tiaras and short or long pearl necklaces were popular, as were longer more extravagant earrings and brooches. This era of extravagance ended at the beginning of world war i, though edward himself died four years earlier in 1910. An edwardian jade, diamond and pearl necklace, the necklace comprising a long chain with six old brilliant-cut diamond-set bow-shape motifs, with a pearl set on each centre, joined together with a chain, set with two pearls between each motif, suspending a rectangular carved jade plaque, set o...

Edwardian 18k white gold and diamond ring. (available at yates & co. Jewelers) queen alexandra's favorite color was purple. King edward's was green.

A Victorian diamond ring

Even today, this period of jewellery is highly sought after. Queen victoria’s own life heavily influenced the jewellery during this period and the fashions changed with her own preferences throughout her reign. The people were fond of their queen and followed her every choice. An age of innovation and social development, naturalism remained a favourite theme, though it became stimulated by the romantic movement. Diamond set bouquets of flowers were decorated with cascading diamond drops, imitating rainfall. Contrasting colours, seed pearls and organic materials cut en cabochon were favoured. The ‘snake’ became synonymous with the era and can be seen in the form of necklets, bracelets and rings.
