The Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period

Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also known as the Victorian era (1837-1901), into three periods of approximately twenty years each: The Romantic Victorian Period (1837-1860), The Grand Victorian Period (1860-1880), and The Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period (1880-1901). We consider these earrings to belong to the Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period. Jewellery from this time shifted away from heavier styles towards smaller, more romantic pieces, often featuring whimsical motifs. Jewellers used diamonds and bright gemstones in elaborate, finely crafted feminine designs.
