Design Era

Design & Historical Context

The Victorian Era was a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in England, and this was reflected in the jewelry of the time. During the Victorian Era, a middle class began to emerge, which sparked a demand for jewelry in the mass market. Jewelry trends during this time often reflected the tone of current events.

The Victorian Era is usually divided into three subsections: the Romantic Period (1837-1861), the Grand Period (1861-1880), and the Aesthetic Period (1880-1901).

During the Romantic Period, jewelry featured nature-inspired designs similar to those of the Georgian era, and was characterized by its intricate and delicate detailing. Lockets and brooches were popular for daytime wear, while colored gemstones and diamonds were worn in the evening.

During the Grand Period, known as the Mid-Victorian era, jewelry was often influenced by the death of Queen Victoria's husband. Many jewelry pieces from this period have solemn, somber designs and feature heavy, dark stones such as jet, onyx, amethyst, and garnet. This period also saw the emergence of 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 that the Aesthetic Period began earlier, in 1875, and ended as early as 1890.

Garnet: The Stone of Passion and Protection

Garnet, renowned for its deep red hue, is a gemstone that symbolizes passion, energy, and protection. Though commonly associated with its rich red color, garnet actually comes in a variety of shades, including green, orange, and even rare blue, making it a versatile and intriguing gemstone.

Garnet has a long history of use, dating back to ancient Egypt, where it was worn by pharaohs as a symbol of life and power. In Roman times, garnets were often set into signet rings used to stamp wax seals on important documents. The stone was also believed to offer protection to travelers and warriors, warding off harm and ensuring safe journeys.

In jewelry, garnet’s durability, with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7.5, and its striking color make it a popular choice for rings, necklaces, and earrings. Its ability to capture and reflect light with a warm, fiery glow adds a touch of drama and sophistication to any piece.

Garnet is more than just a gemstone; it is a symbol of enduring passion and strength. Its vibrant energy and historical significance make it a timeless and powerful choice for jewelry that stands out and tells a story.

Wearing your jewelry is a special way to express yourself and add a touch of personal style to any look. However, to ensure your jewelry remains in pristine condition, there are a few simple steps you need to take to keep it looking its best.

General Care Instructions:

Remove jewelry when showering or bathing, especially when at the beach, in the sea or in chlorinated water.
Avoid wearing jewelry while doing physical work such as housekeeping, gardening or exercise.
Storing your jewelry in a dry and cool place will help protect it from moisture, dirt and dust.
Keeping it away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia and chlorine will help to avoid discoloration and damage.
Cleaning your jewelry regularly with a soft cloth will help to keep it looking shiny and new.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to extreme temperatures, such as leaving it in direct sunlight or near a heater, as this can cause damage.
Handle your jewelry carefully and avoid dropping it, as this can cause the stones to loosen or the metals to scratch.
Finally, if possible, have your jewelry professionally checked and serviced. This will ensure that any potential problems are spotted and fixed before they become worse.

By following these tips, you can enjoy your precious jewelry for many years to come.
