Elements of the arts and crafts and art nouveau periods are to be found in this delicate and lacey gold, amethyst and natural pearl necklace.

Both these periods coincided between 1895 and 1915. It is

The Back to Nature sentiment in Europe in the 1860's produced this pair of gilded bird and wreath earrings that gleam with gold as if it were the day the gold was applied to the metal below. A pair of small wide winged fellows carry a laurel wreath in which another bird grasps a berry.
In England, throughout the Georgian and Victorian eras, jewels were appreciated for more than the esoteric value of their material. The craftmanship reigned in importance as did the sentiment, the fashion ...click for details
