Edwardian Jewellery
Edwardian jewellery is the epitome of elegance and sophistication, with platinum settings, pearls and diamonds, often with delicate bows and lace-like patterns.
The Edwardian era of jewellery, named after King Edward VII, spanned from 1901 to 1910, although stylistically it is often extended through to 1914. This period was characterised by a move away from the large and ostentatious jewellery pieces of the Victorian era towards smaller, refined pieces. Delicate and feminine designs were popular, featuring lace-like filigree work and floral motifs, and platinum became increasingly popular as a metal of choice. Diamonds and pearls were the gemstones most frequently used, and the use of
colour in jewellery decreased during this time, with the focus on the brilliance of diamonds and the elegance of pearls. The Edwardian era is known for the use of exquisite filigree work in platinum and diamonds, creating a light and airy effect. The design sensibility of the period was inspired by 18th-century traditions, and the resulting attention-grabbing pieces are polished and refined in all their glory. Popular designs included tiaras, brooches, and pendants, often incorporating pearls and diamonds in delicate, intricate patterns. The
pieces were light, intricate, and eminently elegant, and are perfect for anyone looking for a touch of refined glamour.
