A golden age for jewellery design, boasting intricate designs inspired by nature and classical mythology. The styles reflects the elegance and refinement of the 18th century with the use of diamonds, pastes and intricately worked Rococo settings.

Georgian jewellery is characterised by delicate and feminine designs with motifs inspired by nature, such as leaves and flowers. It was named after the four King Georges of England, and the era lasted from 1714 to 1837. Diamonds, pearls, and coloured stones such as topaz and amethyst were the most popular gemstones used in Georgian jewellery. The Rococo style dominated early Georgian jewellery design, while the later period was characterised by the classical style and the use of Greek and Roman motifs. Georgian jewellery reflects the elegance and refinement of the 18th century and is renowned for its intricate designs and meticulous craftsmanship. These pieces were often made with gold and platinum and featured clusters of precious stones, closed-
back settings in silver and gold, and sets of matching pieces known as parures.

The early Georgian jewellery designs were heavily influenced by the Ancien Régime's exuberant Rococo style, while the later period featured a newausterity characterised by a stronger stylisation of elements and the former colourfulness also diminished. Pieces of Georgian jewellery are hand-made works of art that are expertly crafted to be treasured for generations. They often used rose-cut and flat-cut stones with large facets that were often foiled to enhance their natural beauty. These pieces were reserved mainly for the aristocratic upper classes, with each piece individually crafted by a skilled
hand. The use of diamonds was prevalent, and elaborate fashions and hairstyles required similarly ornate and often huge pieces of jewellery. Other popular gemstones were garnets, emeralds, topaz, corals, pearls, turquoise, and various forms of agate. Georgian jewellery is still highly valued today for its history, elegance, and beauty.
