Style
Victorian decorative art refers to the artistic style developed during the Victorian era. This period is characterized by an eclectic revival of historical styles and the introduction of intercultural influences from the Middle East and Asia in furniture, accessories, and interior decoration. Victorian design is often seen as having succumbed to 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 Romantic Victorian period - Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also called 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 period to belong to the Romantic Victorian era. It encompasses the coronation of Victoria as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, her marriage to King Albert, and their love, their devotion to their union and to their country, all sources of inspiration. The jewelry of this era is characterized by intricate engravings and special techniques where enamel is subtly worked. These techniques made it possible to give jewelry a certain opulence while using a reduced amount of precious metals, which were very rare at the time. Among the most prized (semi-)precious stones are amethyst, coral, garnet, natural pearls, and turquoise. The connotation is obviously sentimental, symbolic, and romantic, with motifs evoking the Gothic and/or the Renaissance and a profusion of motifs such as anchors, birds, branches, crosses, hearts, and snakes.
