Victoria Collection

Luxuriate in jewellery inspired by a monarch who changed the world and set the trends. Victoria adored jewellery and pioneered some luxurious looks. Jewellery of that era was rich in romantic symbolism with knots, doves and hearts - all sought after motifs. Naturalism was also an obsession for the Victorians, their jewellery was alive with flowers, birds and insects, the colours of nature were matched by those of gemstones and a ‘language of flowers’ spelt out special messages. Jewels frequently had special meaning for the wearer, often associated with sentiment or romantic attachments. Gorgeous use of pearls and special cut stones created wonderful rich effects which statemented the wearer’s social caché.
