An emblematic bracelet from the Grand Victorian Period, circa 1870, embodies the magnificence of this era. Crafted in 18-carat red gold and silver, it is adorned with 25 carefully set rose-cut diamonds, enhanced by a central natural oriental saltwater pearl, flanked by five rows of delicate pearls. This exquisite piece, most likely Belgian, showcases the opulent design characteristic of late Victorian aesthetics, influenced by global art, but whose execution is resolutely Western. A testament to the cultural richness and ornamental sensibility of this period.

Style:
Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refer to the style of the decorative arts of the Victorian era. This era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historical styles, as well as for the introduction of intercultural influences from the Middle East and Asia into furniture, accessories, and interior decoration. Victorian design is widely perceived as having displayed a regrettable excess of ornamentation. The Arts and Crafts movement, the Aesthetic movement, the Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau all have their origins at the end of the Victorian era.

Style specifics:
The Grand Victorian Period – Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also known as the Victorian era (1837 – 1901), into three periods of about 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 this to be the Grand Victorian period.
This second Victorian period is famous for its sumptuous pieces set with pearls and diamonds (from South Africa). From around 1850, wealthy Englishmen reported the existence of jewelry from India and Japan, which greatly inspired the jewelers of that time. This period also corresponds to the death of King Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, which made mourning jewelry (set with heavy dark stones) the specific type of jewelry of this era.
