Design Era	Late Victorian
Design & Historical Context	The Late Victorian or Aesthetic period was a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in Europe and the United States, and this was reflected in the jewelry of the time. The Aesthetic movement, which emphasized beauty and art for art's sake, was particularly influential on jewelry design during this time. Late Victorian or Aesthetic period jewelry is known for its intricate detailing and use of precious materials such as gold, silver, and diamonds. It often featured motifs such as flowers, animals, and nature scenes, and was inspired by a variety of cultural movements, including the Arts and Crafts movement, which sought to return to traditional craftsmanship and natural materials. One of the most distinctive features of Late Victorian or Aesthetic period jewelry is its emphasis on the use of enamel. Enamel is a type of glass-like material that is fused to a metal surface, and it was often used to add color and detail to jewelry. The French firm, Cartier, was particularly known for its use of enamel in its Late Victorian or Aesthetic period pieces. Late Victorian or Aesthetic period jewelry remains popular and is highly collectible to this day. It is often associated with the elegance and refinement of the time period, and is often seen as a symbol of wealth and sophistication.
Key Materials	Diamond
Materials & Craftsmanship	Diamond Diamond is a gemstone that is composed of chemically pure carbon and has a cubic crystal structure. It is known for its extreme hardness, which is a result of the strong chemical bonds between the carbon atoms. Diamonds are valued for their brilliance, fire, and beauty, and are often perceived as being colorless. However, diamonds can actually occur in every color, including yellow, green, pink, blue, purple, and red. The value of a diamond is determined by the four Cs: color, clarity, carat weight, and cut. The color of a diamond is measured on a scale ranging from D to Z, with D being the most colorless and desirable. Clarity refers to the relative number, type, and visibility of inclusions in the diamond, and is designated on a scale ranging from Flawless to Included. Carat weight is a measure of the weight of a diamond, with one carat being equivalent to 1/5 of a gram or 200 milligrams. The cut of a diamond refers to both the shape of the finished diamond and the determination of how well the diamond was fashioned, its proportions, and finishing details. Diamonds are often used in jewelry, such as engagement and wedding rings, earrings, pendants, and other types of adornment. They are also used in industrial applications due to their hardness, which makes them ideal for use in cutting and drilling tools. In addition to their beauty and practical uses, diamonds are also considered to be symbols of love and commitment, making them popular choices for use in engagement and wedding rings. They are also often given as gifts to mark special occasions, such as anniversaries and birthdays. 18k 18k gold is a type of gold alloy that is commonly used in jewelry making. It is made up of 75% gold and 25% other metals, such as copper, silver, or palladium. The addition of other metals helps to increase the durability and strength of the gold, making it more suitable for use in jewelry. 18k gold is softer and more prone to scratching than higher karat golds, such as 22k or 24k, but it is still a popular choice for jewelry because of its warm, yellow color and good resistance to tarnishing. It is also less expensive than higher karat golds due to the smaller amount of gold used in the alloy. 18k gold is a popular choice for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other fine jewelry items.
