This period is characterized by an eclectic revival of historical styles and the introduction of intercultural influences from the Middle East and Asia into furniture, accessories, and interior decoration. Victorian design is often seen as having succumbed to an unfortunate 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.\u003cbr\u003e See also: Victorian\u003cbr\u003e More info on styles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStyle specifics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Grand 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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We consider this to belong to the Grand Victorian Period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This second Victorian period is famous for its ostentatious pieces set with pearls and diamonds (from South Africa). From around 1850, wealthy English people took an interest in jewelry from India and Japan, which greatly inspired jewelers of the time. This period also coincides with the death of Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, which explains the predominance of mourning jewelry (set with dark and imposing stones) as characteristic jewelry of this era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePeriod\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e circa 1870\u003cbr\u003e Events and facts from this era, poetry of this era, fashion of this era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTheme\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e crowned Moor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e 18K\u003cbr\u003e white gold and silver (tested on the touchstone)\u003cbr\u003e More information about precious metals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAdditional information\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Moors have a long tradition in decorative art, dating back to 17th-century Italy and the famous sculptor Andrea Brustolon (1662–1732).
