Style
End of the Victorian era: Victorian decorative arts refer to the style of decorative arts from the Victorian period. This era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historical styles, as well as for 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 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 ones, often with whimsical motifs. Jewelers used brilliant diamonds and gemstones to create refined and elaborate feminine pieces.
