Style
Georgian - The Georgian style is the name given in most English-speaking countries to all the styles in use between 1720 and 1840. It is named after the first four British monarchs of the Maison of Hanover—George I of Great Britain, George II of Great Britain, George III of the United Kingdom, and George IV of the United Kingdom—who reigned in continuous succession from August 1714 to June 1830.

Technique
The rose-cut diamonds are set on foil. This special technique was used to enhance the brilliance of the diamonds.
Enameling is an ancient and widespread technique. The Egyptians of Antiquity applied enamels to pottery and stone objects. The Greeks, Celts, Russians, and Chinese of Antiquity also used enameling processes on metal objects. Enamel is the colorful result of fusing powdered glass onto a substrate by firing, generally between 750 and 850 °C. The powder melts, flows, and hardens to form a smooth and durable vitreous coating on metal, glass, or ceramic. According to some sources, the word enamel comes from the High German smelzan (to melt) via Old French esmail. Used as a noun, "an enamel" refers to a generally small decorative object covered with a layer of enamel, such as a champlevé or a cloisonné (different techniques).
