The Edwardian period spanned from 1900-1915. This period saw England’s wealthy flourish, however the class divisions were evident.

Edwardian jewelry was inspired by King Edward VII. His followers wanted to show their status in society by what they wore. This trend was a leading force in Edwardian jewelry design.

Diamonds, pearls, and platinum were at the forefront of this design period. The higher positions in society wore truly exquisite works.
Symmetrical design was prevalent and flaunted status, stability and elegance.

Designs for lower classes followed many of the same trends, but with less expensive materials.

Edwardian jewelry has become increasingly popular with collectors over recent decades with the emphatic following behind The Titanic, Downtown Abbey, The Great Gatsby, and other portrayals of this fascinating era.
