About

Georgian Era

(1714-1837)

Named after the four kings reigning Great Britain, this era had an impact on society worldwide and made many exceptional changes in the art. Being an era of innovation and discovery helped pave the way in the world of jewellery, and evolved styles from primitive to sophisticated due to the discoveries of new gemstones.

The jewellery of this era was very feminine and elegant, using themes such as flowers and birds. Minimal jewellery was worn during the day. However in the evenings, rose cut and old mine cut diamonds would come out to sparkle in the candlelight. Set in long chandelier earrings and grand riviere necklaces, the pinned-up hairstyles of the time displayed them perfectly. Chatelaines were the most important accessory for a lady. This piece would allow her to carry the tools (thimbles, scissors, keys, watches, etc.) needed for her daily chores. Cameos, lace pins, and matching bracelets are just a few more pieces that were worn in this era.

Gemstones were often backed with coloured foil to intensify the colour of the stone and provide an extra layer of luminescence. Closed-back and foiled jewellery are other signature styles of the Georgian Era. Genuine pieces from the Georgian era are rare to come across, as during this era jewelers would often melt down pieces once they were out of fashion. They did this to reuse the metals, as materials were low in supply.

Pearl - Calcium Carbonate

Developed inside the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk, pearls are hard and lustrous. First used as jewellery in 420 BC, the sarcophagus of a Persian Princess from that time was found wearing a fragment of pearl jewellery. Although round is considered the preferred shape, pearls come in a multitude of silhouettes. Baroque pearls are irregular, non-spherically shaped and make up most of the cultured freshwater pearls we find today. There are four main cultured pearl varieties. Akoya pearls are saltwater pearls that are white or cream with some hints of pink and green. Tahitian pearls are saltwater pearls that range in colour from eggplant purple, peacock green, metallic grey and greyish blue. They are found in Tahiti and generally range from 7-12mm. South Sea pearls are saltwater pearls that can come in a variety of silver, white or golden and are commonly sourced along the northwest coast of Australia. Ranging from 8-16mm, they have been known to reach up to 20mm. Freshwater pearls are typically cultured in lakes and ponds and come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours. Pearl is the birthstone for June and ranks between 2.5-4.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.
