During the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901), Great Britain experienced a period of profound cultural change,

The Victorian era is considered one of the most important periods in the history of jewelry:

Pieces of jewelry were full of symbolism, served to convey an emotional message and reflected a new appreciation for

sentimental forms. Hearts, flowers and pearls in particular were seen as an expression of intimate connection,

Love and appreciation. This extraordinary necklace is part of this romantic tradition,

which was created between 1890 and 1900 and is a magnificent example of the sentimental art of jewelry

of the late Victorian era.

filigree workmanship. The middle section is made up of finely arranged floral elements,
