Design Era	Victorian
Design & Historical Context	The Victorian Era spanned Queen Victoria's rule of England from 1837 until 1901. During this time, a middle class began to emerge, sparking a demand for jewelry in the mass market, jewelry trends often reflected the tone of current events. The era is usually divided into several subsections: the Romantic Period from 1837 to 1861, the Grand Period from 1861 to 1880, and the Aesthetic Period from 1880 to 1901. During the Romantic Period jewelry also featured nature-inspired designs, similar to jewelry of the Georgian era. Frequently, these designs were delicately and intricately etched into gold. Lockets and brooches were popular in daytime jewelry during the early Victorian era, whereas colored gemstones and diamonds were worn during the evening. During the Grand Period jewelry , because the Grand or Mid-Victorian era corresponded with the death of Queen Victoria's husband, many jewelry pieces have solemn, somber designs. Known as mourning jewelry, the pieces feature heavy, dark stones. Jet, onyx, amethyst, and garnet are frequently found in jewelry from this period. Compared to previous periods, Mid-Victorian-era jewelry features highly creative, colorful designs using shells, mosaics and gemstones. During the Aesthetic period, jewelers used diamonds and feminine, bright gemstones such as sapphire, peridot, and spinel. Star and crescent designs as well as elaborate hat pins were also popular. Some scholars believe the aesthetic era began sooner, in 1875, and ended as early as 1890.
Key Materials	Agate
Materials & Craftsmanship	Agate Agate is a type of gemstone that is formed from silicon dioxide, the same mineral that forms quartz. It is a type of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz that is known for its banded or striped patterns. Agate is named after the Achatus river in Sicily, where it was first discovered as early as 300 BC. Agate is known for its beauty and versatility, and it has been used in jewelry and decorative objects for thousands of years. It comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, from solid, uniform colors to intricate banded patterns that can resemble stripes, clouds, or other natural formations. Agate is often polished and shaped into cabochons (smooth, convex gems with a flat base) or cut into beads, tumbled stones, and other decorative objects. Agate is found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, the United States, and Europe. The major lapidary center for agate in Europe is Idar-Oberstein, Germany, which is known for its expertise in cutting and polishing agate and other gemstones. Today, agates from Brazil and other locations are imported to Idar-Oberstein and other lapidary centers around the world, where they are cut and polished into beautiful gemstones. Silver Silver is a white metallic element that is known for its excellent conductivity of heat and electricity. It is represented on the periodic table of elements by the symbol Ag, and it is a member of the noble metals, which are known for their excellent resistance to oxidation. Silver is a relatively soft metal, with a hardness that is intermediate between gold and copper. It is more malleable and ductile than gold, which means that it can be easily shaped and molded into various forms. However, it is not as hard as copper, which means that it is more prone to scratches and other types of damage. Because of its softness, silver is usually alloyed with another metal to harden it enough to maintain the desired shape and details when it is used in jewelry and other decorative objects. This helps to give it the necessary strength and durability for use in these types of applications. Throughout history, silver has played a prominent role in the production of jewelry and objets d'art. It is prized for its beauty and versatility, and it is often used in a wide variety of different types of jewelry, including rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets. It is also used in decorative objects, such as candlesticks, vases, and other decorative items.
