Victorian Jewelry (1840 - 1900)

Victorian jewelry is celebrated for its intricate designs and deep symbolism. Often handmade from materials like gold, silver, and sometimes copper or steel, each piece embodies a blend of romance, sentiment, and nature. Early Victorian jewelry includes sentimental motifs like hearts, flowers, and serpents, symbolizing themes of love and devotion. As the era progressed, darker and somber gemstones, such as onyx and amethyst along with pearls and coral, became prominent, reflecting Queen Victoria’s mourning period. In the late Victorian years, jewelry took on a lighter, more whimsical feel, featuring nature-inspired motifs like butterflies and stars.
