Design Era

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.

Emerald: The Jewel of Renewal and Prosperity

Emerald, with its vibrant green hue, is one of the most prized gemstones in the world, belonging to the beryl family. Its captivating color, ranging from deep forest green to bright spring green, is due to the presence of chromium and vanadium during its formation.

Emeralds have been cherished throughout history, from ancient Egyptian pharaohs who believed the stone symbolized eternal youth, to Incan and Aztec civilizations that revered it as a holy stone. In the Renaissance period, emeralds were thought to possess the power to predict the future and reveal truth.

In modern jewelry, emeralds are admired for their rich color and elegance. Although they are slightly softer than other precious stones, with a Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8, their beauty and rarity make them a popular choice for rings, necklaces, and earrings. Emeralds often feature characteristic inclusions, known as "jardin," which add to their uniqueness and charm.

Emeralds symbolize renewal, growth, and prosperity, making them a timeless and meaningful choice for jewelry that exudes sophistication and natural beauty.

Brilliant-cut diamond: The Pinnacle of Sparkle and Brilliance

The brilliant-cut diamond is the most popular and widely recognized diamond cut in the world, renowned for its exceptional sparkle and fire. This cut, perfected over centuries, is designed to maximize the reflection of light, creating the dazzling brilliance that has made it the standard for diamonds in modern jewelry.

The brilliant cut features 58 facets—33 on the crown and 25 on the pavilion—carefully arranged to capture and reflect light from every angle. The precision of these facets ensures that light entering the diamond is reflected internally and dispersed into a stunning array of colors, giving the stone its characteristic brilliance.

Historically, the brilliant cut evolved from earlier cuts like the Old European and rose cuts, with advancements in diamond cutting technology and understanding of light reflection. This modern cut became widely adopted in the early 20th century and quickly became the preferred choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry, due to its unmatched sparkle.

In modern jewelry, brilliant-cut diamonds are prized for their versatility and unmatched brilliance. They are the go-to choice for engagement rings, earrings, pendants, and virtually any jewelry piece where a classic, sparkling diamond is desired. The round shape and symmetrical design make the brilliant cut ideal for showcasing the inherent beauty of the diamond, regardless of its size.

A brilliant-cut diamond is more than just a gemstone; it is a symbol of timeless beauty and perfection. Its unparalleled sparkle and universal appeal make it the quintessential choice for jewelry that celebrates life's most precious moments.

18k: The Perfect Balance of Luxury and Durability

18k gold is a luxurious and highly sought-after material in the world of fine jewelry, known for its rich color, durability, and value. The "18k" refers to the purity of the gold, indicating that it is composed of 75% pure gold and 25% alloyed metals, such as copper, silver, or palladium. This combination provides the perfect balance between the softness of pure gold and the strength needed for creating durable jewelry.

Historically, gold has been prized for its beauty and rarity, symbolizing wealth, power, and status across various cultures and civilizations. 18k gold has been a preferred choice in fine jewelry for centuries due to its ideal blend of purity and strength, offering a radiant gold color that is more vibrant than lower karat golds while still being hard enough for everyday wear.

In modern jewelry, 18k gold is favored for its versatility and its ability to enhance the appearance of gemstones. It is available in several colors, including yellow, white, and rose gold, depending on the metals used in the alloy. Each color has its unique appeal:

Yellow Gold: The classic choice, offering a warm, rich hue that pairs beautifully with a wide range of gemstones and complements all skin tones.

White Gold: A sleek, modern option that resembles platinum or silver but with the strength and luxury of gold. It is often rhodium-plated to enhance its reflective surface.

Rose Gold: A romantic, pinkish hue that has gained popularity for its vintage charm and contemporary appeal, achieved by alloying gold with copper.

18k gold is commonly used in engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, where its balance of durability and beauty makes it ideal for both intricate designs and simple, elegant pieces. The alloy's added strength ensures that jewelry can withstand daily wear while maintaining its luster and shape.

18k gold is more than just a material; it is a symbol of refined taste and enduring value. Its perfect blend of luxury and practicality makes 18k gold a timeless choice for those who seek the beauty of high-purity gold without sacrificing durability. Whether in classic or modern designs, 18k gold jewelry offers a radiant and lasting expression of elegance and sophistication.
