About

Edwardian Era

(1901 - 1910)

Also known as “Le Belle Epoque” period, the Edwardian Era was derived from Edward VII, renowned for his love for all things lavish. Pearls and diamonds were most significant stones of the Edwardian Era, heavily leaning into a light, ethereal style. Bows, ribbons, and lace were the key motifs of this era.

Commonly made from platinum, Edwardian jewellery was fabricated with great detail while still being lightweight and comfortable to wear. The technique of millegrain emerged, which is small beads of metal bordering a stone or added as a border around a piece. Paving the way for “White on White” fashion, Cartier became the official jewellery supplier to King Edward. The innovative approach to platinum with invisible settings and millegrain detail made Cartier a powerhouse of the era. Nearing 1910, “Black and White” took over from the “White on White” aesthetic. Platinum pieces containing pearls and diamonds were worn on black ribbons, and darker stones/enamel were used as accent details. After the start of World War I, life changed dramatically. Jewellery all but disappeared as metals- platinum in particular. These precious metals were used in the making of weaponry, bringing the Edwardian Era to a close.

Diamond - Carbon

The world’s most popular and recognizable gemstone- diamonds first appear in history books as early as the 4th century BC in India where they were used in trade. Slowly, they found their way to Western Europe. By the 1400s, diamonds were becoming all the rage with Europe’s elite. When the 1870s arrived, annual rough diamond production was under a million carats a year and by the 1990s it was over 100 million carats a year. Diamonds are the birthstone for April and are considered the traditional stone to propose with. They rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it the defining material for the scale.
