Victorian Jewelry & The Cultural Impacts
Queen Victoria ruled Britain for 64 years between 1837-1901. Most of this period saw prudery and a visible code of moral conduct. The change took place from a romantic society to the more puritanical Victorian society. The transition to prudery was felt more severely after Victoria’s marriage to Albert in 1840. A change to a livelier lifestyle took place in 1890 with the arrival on the scene of Prince Edward.
There was a sharp divide between the people from the towns and those from rural areas. The railroad brought about a huge change in the quality of life as a whole especially among the poorer people from the villages. A show of wealth, while wearing clothes of fashion, became the order of the day. Victorian jewelry became popular. Women started showing interest in wearing bracelets, rings, necklaces and watches with chains among other jewelry. These jewelry items were set with real or imitation jewels. Popular jewels were topaz, emerald, ruby and amethyst. In 1870 South Africa opened its diamond mines. This was an event of great import. Over night the accent of the stones in engagement rings, bracelets and necklaces shifted to diamonds, the girl’s best friend!
Today the online historical jewelry shops are stacked with Victorian jewelry items. The pieces are in vintage designs with settings of pearls, Swarovski crystal and jewelry in both gold and sterling silver. So the occasion could be holidays or proms and weddings or homecoming, itemized online catalogues will lay out the best of the choices for you. Victorian jewelry is available in earrings, bracelets, anklets, costume jewelry, lockets and accessories in the most intricate of designs. Typically you could pick up bracelets in sterling silver or 14k gold with white pearl and crystal design. Alternately, you could select a three-tier bracelet with large crystals in a choice of 10 colors. You could buy a flower design with six petals in 8 colors or a bracelet in a sparkling flower design in 9 colors. Similarly, in anklets you could go in for a medium fairy with a choice of 3 Victorian metals.
