Antique Gold Jewelry Above
A BRIEF HISTORY OF ANTIQUE JEWELRY
GEORGIAN PERIOD JEWELRY 1714-1837 From Georgian times to today styles and designs of jewelry have changed, but our love for antique jewelry has never faded For instance jewelers handcrafted all the jewelry of this period with labor-intensive processes The artisans had to hand hammer the gold, silver or other metals into thin sheets before creating the pieces, and because of this process sometimes a slight asymmetric shape is noticeable to the jewelry of that era Handmade Georgian jewelry is very rare, making the quality of each piece of jewelry variable. It was often natureinspired featuring delicate designs such as leaves and birds. Georgian jewelry frequently includes foiled backed stones to enhance their brilliance. Handmade Georgian jewelry is very rare making the quality of each piece of jewelry variable It was often nature-inspired, featuring delicate designs such as leaves and birds Georgian jewelry frequently includes foiled backed stones to enhance their brilliance The reasons for wearing jewelry are more personal than a basic desire for selfadornment. People have worn jewelry as a memento of loved ones, as an expression of faith or as a talisman to ward off evil spirits and even disease. It was believed by many that certain stones had magical powers, for example, that Topaz cured madness and increased wisdom and that Sapphire cured diseases of the skin. Memento mori, meaning ‘Remember you must die!’ inspired Memento jewelry which appeared in the 16th century to remind people of their mortality. It was often decorated with enamel, skeletons, skulls, worms, coffins and crossbones. By the 17th century Memento jewelry was adapted to commemorate the death of individuals. Memorial rings, lockets, pendants and slides (worn on ribbons around the neck or wrist) contained backgrounds of hair or silk with symbols of skulls and crossbones under crystal.
By the second half of the 17th century memorial rings were being provided to distribute to friends and family after a funeral. In his will, upon his death, Samuel Pepys made arrangements for 128 rings to be despatched after his funeral. By 1730, jewelry with unsightly crossbones and skulls was starting to be replaced by more neoclassical miniatures. Rings, pendants and brooches were decorated with sepia paint on ivory showing grieving women postured by urns, broken columns and tombs decorated with cherubs and weeping willow trees.
By 1781 silhouettes, which were cheaper than painted miniatures, became popular in jewelry. These were set in rings, pendants or brooches. Also quite popular was a miniature of a single eye, some set with a glistening diamond teardrop.
