Dazzling diamond jewelry has become a popular mainstay. For instance, with the theme of flowers, diamond-encrusted tremulous jewelry, and freeze jewelry like a waterfall waterfall, this design fully demonstrates the romantic and luxurious side of the collection.
This style quickly gained popularity with the luxury-loving French court. Queen Eugénie’s cluster leaf jewelry sets can be considered one of the masterpieces.
This style of jewelry preferred to use leaves of various plants, as well as a more realistic and dynamic shape, as well as being large and bright.
This was due to the fact that most fashionable garments had low necklines, which made the chest the most suitable place for jewelry to be seen.
Expensive “jeweled lace”:
Lace was very popular in Victorian clothing, and since the Renaissance.
However, due to industrial development during the Victorian era, lace could only be handmade before, whereas now it could be produced by machine. This made lace expand from being only embellished to having more uses.
The delicate and romantic decorative material became the most popular element of all time, and fashion and jewelry circles were never closely related.
When the Paris Jewelry Show of 1878 introduced pave diamonds as gemstones, jewelry became more delicate than ever before.
These diamond and gemstone lace quickly gained traction in high society. There is nothing more fashionable than diamond lace, a better choice to show fashion taste and social status.
For example, the emerald crown that Sotheby’s brought out for an exhibition a while ago was designed by Albert for the Queen in 1845 in the Gothic Revival style. It was made by Joseph Kitching.
It was considered one of the most elegant and luxurious colored gemstone crowns in the world at the time.
But it was the last of a complete set of diamond and emerald jewels, and in 1943 the Prince designed a complete set of lace jewels made of emeralds and diamonds consisting of a necklace set with nine emeralds, matching pendant earrings and a monogrammed green brooch weighing 20 carats.
But it wasn’t until two years later that he found matching emeralds to complete the final piece in the collection.
Stars, crescents, bows – the staples of Romantic jewelry:
Over time, Albert became the Queen’s most trusted intellect and was actively involved in culture, art, science and technology.
Albert sponsored the Universal Industrial Exhibition in London in 1851, kicking off an era of international exhibitions.
In addition to the marvelous machinery and inventions on display, Victorian jewelry, watches and gemstone exhibits attracted worldwide attention. More than six million guests attended the exhibition. Many jewelry designers made their names at the fair.
International fairs have become an arena for jewelry brands to actively participate in. Many jewelry masterpieces showcase the romantic nature and eclectic creativity of the Victorian era.
The colorful selection of stones and the variety of topics made this jewelry have a unique charm, and have become the most sought-after by modern collectors.
Romantic jewelry, with its various love symbols, became the mainstay of the industry. This was done with delicate goldsmithing and setting techniques displayed in a variety of jewelry designs.
Bows, portraits, stars and moons all became elements of jewelry design during this period.
For example, Albert gave Victoria after four years of marriage a gold bracelet inlaid with his own portrait. It had a gold bow connected with four enamels red and white roses representing the York and Lancaster family. This exquisite bracelet reflects the Prince’s skill in designing into the emotions.
