Vintage Jewelry

There are six styles of vintage jewelry. Namely, they are Georgian (1714 to 1835), Victorian (1840 to 1890), Art Nouveau (1895 to 1910) (although the art nouveau period coincided with the Edwardian period which began in 1900 and ended around the start of world war I). Similarly, the Art deco period(1920 to 1935), and finally Retro (1935 to 1950). Starting with the Georgian era up until the French revolution in the 1790s, the retro style was epitomized by monarchs such as Marie Antoinette. They wore heavy pieces composed of large jewels. After the revolution, the designs began to become more sleek and minimalistic. Soon, the industrial revolution began allowing those besides the obscenely wealthy to possess fine jewelry. Throughout the entire era, colored gems were coveted and both gold and silver were used. The Victorian era, due to industrial regulation, was a prolific time for the manufacturing of fine jewelry. Jewelry pieces made in this era were named after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Victorians were passionate people and their vintage jewelry at auction reflected that. Good luck charms like horseshoes were popular motifs and gold pocket watches were popular gifts. During the first half of the era, revival styles were most popular.
