Georgian Era | 1760-1830

This era covers the reigns of the four English ruling Kings names George & William lV. Because of the long time frame covering this period, styles and techniques changed considerably throughout.  The Georgian era, like the Victorian era was a romantic period. Memorial jewellery became popular... portraits of loved ones were often painted on to rings and brooches became more common. Sometimes hair was plaited and woven into a ring or brooch. It was also the beginning of REGARD and DEAREST jewellery... a technique of using different gemstones to spell out the word... d for diamond.
