Edwardian Jewelry -1901 \u2013 1915<\/strong><\/h3>

In 1901, the long-reigning (almost 64 years!) Queen Victoria<\/a> died and her eldest son, Prince Edward VII, for whom the era is named, became king.<\/p>

Evolving alongside the Art Nouveau<\/a> and Arts & Crafts<\/a> movements, Edwardian jewelers, too, rejected the machine-made jewelry of the Victorian era. Known in The United States as The Gilded Age, and in the rest of Europe as La Belle \u00c9poque<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> which translates as \u201cthe beautiful age\u201d in French, Edwardian jewelry was like a light and lacy breath of fresh air.<\/p>

Influences\/Advancements of the Era<\/h4>

Jewelers who chose not to embrace the Arts & Crafts or Art Nouveau movements, borrowed the fluidity of their lines. The \u201cnew\u201d designs of the Edwardian Era were rooted in 18th-century jewelry. The Court of Versailles was an inspiration for aristocratically designed jewels and Cartier<\/a> encouraged his designers to look to 17th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup>-century architecture for inspiration.<\/p>

Platinum-Topped Gold<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

Used early in the period before pieces could be made entirely from platinum.<\/p>

Platinum<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>

In 1903, the invention of the oxyacetylene torch (which could reach the high temperatures necessary for working in platinum) allowed jewelry to be made entirely from this lustrous metal and fashioned into light and delicate, yet very strong pieces. The strength of platinum allowed jewelers to use minimalist settings for gems, often giving them the appearance of \u201cfloating.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Gemstones<\/h4>

Amethyst<\/a>, turquoise<\/a>, Montana sapphires<\/a>, opals<\/a>, demantoid garnets<\/a> colored the jewels of this period. Gems were often presented in newly designed cuts: calibr\u00e9<\/a>, baguette<\/a>, marquise<\/a>, briolette<\/a>. Because there was still no method of creating cultured pearls<\/a>, these gems of the sea were even more valuable than diamonds<\/a>.<\/p>

Diamonds (rose<\/a>, old mine<\/a>, and European cuts<\/a>) and pearls were perfect for the \u201cwhite on white\u201d look of Edwardian jewelry that complemented both the pastel-colored and white ensembles of the day. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Millegrain<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

Millegraining is an extremely tiny, beaded detail that finishes an edge on a piece of jewelry. This technique was generously used in Edwardian-era pieces on the outlines of patterns, fine wires, and on channel edges.<\/p>

Filigree<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

Very fine wires, smooth or twisted, were ideal for creating the open, airy aesthetic of Edwardian jewels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Style Motifs<\/h4>

Jewelry went from large and ostentatious to ethereal and delicate almost overnight. Garlands<\/a>, ribbons, laurel wreaths, tassels, and swags were favored motifs. Delicate, sophisticated jewels fashioned like \u201cpetit point\u201d embroidery, resembling diamond-encrusted lace\u2014whether an elegant bar pin or an ornate lavalli\u00e8re<\/i><\/a>\u00a0necklace–were exemplary of the era.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For the well-to-do, tiaras were an essential ornament, and with the advent of platinum, they could be elaborate yet not heavy.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
