A Little about Victorian Jewelery

From the Gemological Institute of America's Jewelery Essentials:
 

Victorian jewelry encompasses a variety of styles that were popular during
the rule of England’s Queen Victoria (1837 to 1901). These styles
typically include one or more of the following:

• Ornate matching sets of gemstone-set jewelry
• Gemstones such as diamonds, emeralds, coral, amethyst, garnet,
turquoise, and tortoise shell
• Sentimental or romantic symbols
• Ornamental locks of human hair
• Mourning jewelry made of jet and other black materials
• Cameos
Some Victorian jewelry idealized past cultures by reviving Greek,
Roman, and Egyptian jewelry styles, among others. Other revival themes
included Gothic, Renaissance, and Archeological (inspired by ancient
Assyrian, Greek, Etruscan, Roman, and Egyptian styles).

As we mentioned before, the Singer Estate Collection consists of stunning jewelery from many different time periods.  One of those is the Art Deco era.

From the Gemological Institute of America's Jewelery Essentials:

The Art Deco style emerged after World War I and dominated the decorative
arts and jewelry from 1920 through the 1930s... Art Deco jewelry suggests post-war practicality through its strong geometric patterns in bold contrasting colors.
Art Deco features include: 

• Bold, contrasting colors
• Strong, geometric patterns
• Sleek, streamlined look, emphasizing the vertical line
• Gemstones including diamonds, black onyx, lapis lazuli, rubies, emeralds,
sapphires, jade, turquoise, and topaz
• Carved or cabochon-cut colored gemstones
• Primary colors in rich combinations and strong contrast

Here are a few examples of Art Deco jewelery from the Singer Collection.  These images are for example only, they may not be available at our show on Saturday.  But they are beautiful and we are sure to have many more beautiful Art Deco pieces for you to enjoy -- this Saturday!
