Style
Victorian – Victorian decorative arts refer to the style of decorative arts from the Victorian era. This era is known for its eclectic revival and reinterpretation of historical styles, as well as the introduction of cross-cultural influences from the Middle East and Asia into furniture, accessories, and interior decoration. Victorian design is widely perceived as having shown 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 late Victorian or Aesthetic 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 Victorian or Aesthetic period (1880-1901).
We consider this to be the late Victorian or Aesthetic period.
Jewelry from this era evolved, moving from heavy pieces to smaller, more romantic pieces, often with whimsical motifs. Jewelers used diamonds and bright gemstones to create refined and elaborate feminine pieces.
Period
circa 1890

Additional information
Diamond is the birthstone for the month of April and, in addition to being the most popular gemstone for engagement rings, it is also the anniversary gemstone for the 10th and 60th years of marriage.
Although diamond is the hardest of all gemstones known to man, its composition is the simplest: it is made of ordinary carbon. The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars fallen to Earth. Some even claimed they were the tears of the gods, crystallized lightning, or hardened drops of dew. The exact origin of diamonds remained a mystery for centuries.
In ancient times, only kings wore diamonds, as a symbol of strength, courage, and invincibility. Over the centuries, the diamond acquired its unique status as the ultimate gift of love. It was said that Cupid's arrows were tipped with diamonds, whose magic was unmatched.
But it was only in 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy, that the tradition of diamond engagement rings began. The very reason why a woman wears it on the third finger of her left hand goes back to the Egyptian belief that the vena amoris (vein of love) ran directly from the heart to the top of the third finger of the left hand.
