Victorian Necklace

Victorian jewelry was first introduced in England during the reign of Queen Victoria. The Victorian period ran from 1837- 1901. The period saw a number of innovations, especially in the jewelry industry. Jewelry went through several style changes such as the Romantic period, the Grand period, and the Aesthetic period. The romantic period was the age that represented the queen’s youth. This period had very sentimental motifs such as serpents, branches, flowers, and more embedded in the necklaces that were made then.

Similarly, after the death of her husband queen went into the mourning period which inspired the Grand period. Some of the most popular motifs used in the victorian necklace in this period were bees, butterflies, and crosses. Finally came the aesthetic period. Among all the other jewelry necklaces were considered the most popular accessory at the time. In this period women started becoming more independent which inspired the motifs such as horseshoes, owls, knots, stars, and more to be used in necklaces. Although the gems that were used in the period were widely dependant upon one’s likely, it is said diamonds were very much in fashion back then.
