  • Sobre la obra de arte

    This Romantic Victorian necklace, circa 1850, is reminiscent of an elegant gold, diamond, and pearl-adorned collar. Crafted in 18K red and yellow gold with a 14K chain, the piece features edges lined with half natural seed pearls, framing a delicate gold lattice with old mine cut diamonds set at each intersection. At the centre, a bow-shaped ornament sparkles with a prominent old mine brilliant, while the locket beneath, perfect for holding a beloved’s portrait, echoes this motif. With approximately 6.00 carats of diamonds in F/I colour and VS/I clarity, this piece captures the essence of Victorian elegance and romance, making it a true testament to timeless devotion.

    Style
    Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative arts during the Victorian era. The Victorian era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historic styles and the introduction of cross-cultural influences from themiddle east and Asia in furniture, fittings, and Interior decoration. Victorian design is widely viewed as having indulged in a regrettable excess of ornament. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveaustyle have their beginnings in the late Victorian era.

    Style specifics
    The Romantic Victorian Period - Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also called The Victorian era (1837 - 1901) in to three periods of about twenty years each; The Romantic Victorian Period (1837 - 1860), The Grand Victorian Period (1860 -1880), and the Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period (1880 - 1901).

    We consider this to be of the Romantic Victorian Period. This period covers the coronation of Victoria as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and her marriage to King Albert and their love, their devotion to their marriage and to their country are thesources of inspiration for this period. The jewels of this period are made of intricate carvings, special techniques where the enamel is subtly worked. These techniques allowed to give the jewel a certain opulence with less precious metal needed. Asprecious metals were really rare at that time. Highly favored (semi-) precious stones in this period are amethyst, coral, garnets, seed pearls and turquoises. The connotation is obviously sentimental, symbolic and romantic with reminiscent Gothic and/orRenaissance patterns and an abundant use of motifs like anchors, birds, branches, crosses, hearts and snakes.
