Georgian era jewellery is mostly handmade and very rare. Often featuring nature inspired designs such as leaves and birds, and including precious stones. Memento Mori jewellery was also popular at the time (meaning ”remember you will die”) and it was quite morbid, featuring skull motifs and coffins.

This was a wonderfully extravagant time during the reign of Edward the 7th. Brooches, necklaces, collars, pendants & earrings were lavishly decorated with gemstones. Diamonds were the essential accessory for the Edwardian lady and were made up into fine delicate pieces to reflect the fashions of lace, silk and feathers.
