Collection: Edwardian (1901-1915)
The Edwardian Era comes after King Edward VII's rule in England. King Edward VII ruled from 1901-1910 and was the final monarch to be honored by having jewelry named after them in history.
This significant era in jewelry history, commonly referred to as the La Belle Epoque Era, marked the introduction of platinum into the world of jewelry. While platinum was initially combined with gold, it quickly gained popularity and became a standalone item.
During this era, diamonds and pearls continued to hold onto their prestigious reputation.
Platinum became popular during the Edwardian Era, quickly becoming dominant alongside mixed-metal jewelry.
There was a noticeable change in style from the Victorian era to the Edwardian era in jewelry design. Typical themes in Edwardian jewelry mirrored the dominant atmosphere of the era, characterized by sophistication, femininity, and a captivating allure towards daintiness and grace. Platinum gained popularity because of its strength and capacity for intricate designs, which resulted in the development of elegant, lace-like jewelry.
