History of the Victorian jewelry
Jewelry during Queen Victoria reign (1837-1901) was feminine, sentimental, meaningful and symbolic. Jewels were also inspired by the nature. Whereas Victorian jewelry at the beginning was heavy, intricate, full of details, jewels became at the end less ostentatious, smaller, simpler and more practical to women who were more and more many to work.
