Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, traditionally divided into three periods: Romantic, Grand, and Late Victorian. Designs evolved from sentimental floral and nature motifs featuring softer romantic stones into more structured, geometric, and revivalist styles towards the end of the century.

Victorian earrings frequently utilised 9-carat or 15-carat gold, often cast or hand-fabricated, paired with locally sourced or imported gemstones such as amethysts, garnets, and seed pearls. Construction typically involved wire hooks, secure bezel or prong settings, and delicate milgrain detailing executed by hand.

Authentic Victorian pieces often exhibit handmade characteristics such as irregular stone cuts, hand-carved details, traditional hook wires without modern safety catches, and period-appropriate hallmarks or stamp marks corresponding to British assay offices.

Antique earrings can be paired with minimalist contemporary attire to allow the historical craftsmanship to stand out, or combined with complementary gold chains and rings for an eclectic, layered aesthetic.

Antique jewellery should be stored individually in soft pouches to prevent scratching, kept away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and ultrasonic cleaners, and cleaned gently using a soft lint-free cloth and mild soapy water.
