The Georgian Jewelry Era
The Georgian period of jewelry was
named after the kings who ruled during that period, i.e
England’s Kings George I, II and III. During this time the
aristocrats were famous for their love for jewels and jewelry. They wore a large
number of jewels on their coat buttons, knee breeches and shoe buckles too had
jewels. Women would wear a complete matching jewelry set that consisted of a
matching necklace, ring, bracelets, earrings and a tiara. Crowned Heart Design was very common
in rings for women. All jewelry of the Georgian era was
lighter, more airy and was handmade, so was not
perfect . Georgian jewelry is characterized by exquisite high Karat gold, berlin
iron and pinchbeck metal work along with Old Mine cut, Rose Cut
and Table Cut Stones. Mine Cut or
Rose
Cut diamonds were the norm. These showed fewer facets, with more
variations than modern stones. Mine cuts have a flat top; Rose cuts have a
pointed top.
Common motifs of this era are
stars, ribbons, scrolls and flowers. Popular trends were, cameos, intaglios,
mourning jewelry or
"memento mori
, Chatelaines ,
floral designs, neoclassical motifs, Berlin iron and painted
miniatures. Jewelry that comes apart to form different pieces is highly prized
from this era. For example : A piece that initially looks to be a necklace might
be designed to come apart and form two bracelets - or a bracelet could become a
brooch and earrings. Jewelry of this period has its inpiration from the
styles and trends in arts, architecture and interior decoration popular in
Greek, Roman, Gothic, Rococo and Pompeiian
At the beginning of the Georgian period diamonds were the main
stone used for jewelry designing and diamond cutters discovered exciting gem
cuts like the rose cut, cushion cut, and brilliant cuts. In the 1750's colored
precious stones like emeralds, rubies, and sapphires were worn along with new
stones like white-imperial-pink topazes, amethyst, chartreuse chrysoberyl,
coral, ivory, pearls, and garnets. As an alternative to diamond the use of
paste, rock crystal, marcasite, and cut steel was also very common. Many of the
rare Georgian pieces of jewelry have been redesigned
to reflect more contemporary designs and are highly prized
collectibles
The Regency Jewelry Era (1812 – 1830)
The Victorian Jewelry Era (1837 –
1901)
The
early Victorian era`s romantic vintage jewelry is characterized by nature
themes. In this era jewelry was made from gold. Popular jewelry items include
brooches, lockets for day wear and diamonds and colored gemstones for the
evenings. The Mid Victorian era jewelry designs have an undertone of “mourning”
which is clearly reflected in the use of dark stones, such as onyx, jet,
amethyst and garnet. Grave designs
configured. Shells, mosaics, and colorful gems were often incorporated
into a piece. In the late Victorian era jewelry designs were lively and
vibrating and there was frequent use of precious stones like diamonds,
sapphires, peridot and spinel in the design of every piece of jewelry. Use of
shapes like, stars, crescents etc with inspiration from outer space was the
trend.
The Art Nouveau Jewelry Era ( 1890 –
1915)
The Art Nouveau style first developed
in an effort to bring originality and unique beauty back to jewelry as jewelry
in the Victorian period became more available due to mass production, as a
result of the industrial revolution. In 1861, William Morris with the support
and collaboration of other artists in England started the Arts and crafts
Movement not supporting the 19th century artistic designs. Though his movement did not gain too much
momentem in England, his thoughts greatly inspired a Belgian architect Victor
Horta, who began designing a building “la Maison Tassel”, in the art nouveau style. In Brussels too some artists were inspired by William
Morris` movement and tried to develop new art forms. Finally, in 1895 the word
art nouveau was coined in France. This was a name given to a showroom of new
arts owned by a japanese art collector, Siegfried Bing.
The Art Nouveau jewelry featured designs that were curvy,
mystical and fluid. The style, was most often characterized by beautiful young
women with flowing hair that graced lockets, brooches and rings, sash pins and
buckles. Another unique characteristic of The Art Nouveau jewelry is that it has
fluid lines made of stylized vines, flowers and foliage. Typical images included
nude female figures, heads, insects, crescents and common plants. Exotic art
inspirations from Japan, which had then opened to the west in 1853, had a great
influence on Art Nouveau Jewelry designs. Art Nouveau Jewelry
designs are also influenced by
Celtic, Gothic and Rococo art. During this period materials were not as important as design and
craftsmanship. Apart from, gold , silver and diamonds many different materials
like horns, copper, tortoise-shell, ivory, carved glass, shells, pearls, and
gemstones cut in cabochon were used with a number of varied gemstones like
amber, opals, blister pearls, moonstones, citrines and peridots to design Art
Nouveau jewelry . A beautiful enameling technique called the Plique A'Jour was
highly in demand during those days. Some famous designers of this age were Rene
Lalique, Louis Tiffany, Karl Faberge, George Fouquet, William Kerr and Unger
Brothers. By 1915 the Art Nouveau was no longer considered a style statement, it
became old fashioned and faded away. Many of the rare Art Nouveau pieces of
jewelry have been redesigned using precious gems like diamond, ruby, emerald,
sapphire and color diamond to reflect more modern designs and are highly prized
collectibles.
The Edwardian Jewelry Era (1901 –
1919)
The Edwardian Period lasted from 1901 to 1919. King Edward VII and Queen Alexandria, led the English society to a new level of sophistication and style in fashions and jewelry which is till today highly in demand. Jewelers used platinum and diamonds to create intricate and delicate filigree patterns that resembled lace and the houses of Cartier and Tiffany dominated jewelry design. Light and airy designs became hallmarks of Edwardian jewelry. Edwardian lady wore lots of open, lacy jewelry imitating the Indian Maharajahs whose jewelry designs the queen loved. Pearls were quite fashionable, along with jewels for the hair, or "tiaras" combined with beautiful dangling earrings. King Edward enjoyed sports and encouraged the use of sporting motifs. He also helped make his good luck stone, the peridot, very popular. The elegance, beauty and superb craftsmanship of Edwardian jewelry has remained unparalleled through the ages. Motifs for Edwardian Jewelryincluded Stars, ribbons and bows.Colored gems like demantoid garnets from the Urals, pale blue sapphires from Montana, Black Opals from Australia, amethysts, peridots, unheated acquamarines etc were frequently combined with tiny pearls or diamonds. Setting baguette cut diamonds, marquise cut diamonds, trapeze cut diamonds and triangular cut diamonds with calibre-cut rubies, emeralds and sapphires is a signature edwardian style jewelry. With the advent of the first world war the luxurious edwardian style dissapeared.
The Art Deco Jewelry Era (1920 –
1935)
This decorative style originated between 1920 and
1935 in
Paris,
France after
L’Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes of 1925.
This was the era of Jazz and flappers.The Art
Deco style emphasized African, Egyptian, Indian and Japanese themes, geometric
design, abstract pattern, exotic motifs, well defined lines and bold colors,
extensive use of bakelite, celluloid, and enamels. Diamonds, emeralds, rubies
and sapphires were the gems of choice, embellishing the long necklaces and
dripping earrings of the time. Women wore long gold necklaces and multiple
stands of pearls, bracelets were worn in duplicates, watches and cocktail rings
too were very popular. Men's jewelry also came into vogue as men became more
comfortable wearing jewelry . Beads were incorporated into chokers, while metals
were polished and used to accessorize. Platinum and white gold was used
extensively in fine jewelry. In costume jewelry, Rhodium plating was used
instead of these expensive metals. The Invisible setting was developed by
Van Cleef & Arpels which allowed gems to be mounted, through a system of
grooves and rails, in such a way that no metal was visible. Gérard Sandoz, Paul
Poiret, René Lalique, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Jean
Després were some of the famous designers of the art deco period.The Art deco
bracelets became very popular and were called the plaque, flexible link, box,
strap, band or straight-line The straight-line bracelet often featured the new
square cut diamonds developed in Paris, aptly termed "French-cut" diamonds. Art
Deco bracelets were frequently accented with natural and synthetic rubies and
sapphires.Modern streamlined designs, with geometric
gemstone cuts and bold color combinations were the signature style of the art
deco jewelry. Another style typical of the Art Deco era is jewelry with Pave set stones.The Retro Jewelry Era or the Estate Jewelry
Era ( 1935 – 1950)
Retro is a
term used for jewelry from the 1930s through early 50s that are characterized by
large, glamorous designs in yellow and rose gold. Synthetic and semi-precious
stones were popular as precious stones were scarce. During the depression, World
War II and the post-war years, metals and stones were harder to come by so
jewelers creatively used small amounts of material to create chunky,
machine-inspired pieces. Retro jewelry is still wearable and en vogue
today.
Jewelry from the 1960s and later is referred to as estate. While not old enough to be
true antiques, these pieces have unique style and flair. Like retro jewelry,
these pieces are bold but tend to be more chunky and abstract than their
predecessors. Free-form linear and floral designs full of flash and diamonds
make these pieces distinctive.
Guide to Choosing Your Settings
The beauty and craftsmanship of a diamond ring depends a lot on the diamond type and quality of the setting. So it is very important to pay attention to the setting type that is used while designing or purchasing a diamond ring. We need to know facts like whether the metal will hold the stone evenly with a smooth and fine finish. Will the stone be held firmly in the setting? etc An understanding of the setting types will help us know what will best suit on the ring to give it a perfect look.
There are two basic types of gemstone settings: Open Settings and Closed Settings.
Open settings are any type of setting that allows light to enter through the bottom of a faceted or transparent gemstone. For eg tension setting, prong setting, care setting, frustum settings. In a closed setting light can only enter the stone from the top. This type of setting is appropriate for opaque cabochon-cut stones and highly refractive faceted stones where light can enter through the crown and table of the stone and be reflected back to the observer from within. For example bezel setting, pave setting, channel settings.
Some of the most common diamond setting types that you will find in a jewelry store are as under.
Pave Setting
In this type of setting, diamonds are fit into tapered holes and set almost level with the surface of the ring. Then some of the surrounding metal is raised to form beads which hold the diamonds in place. Sometimes the metal around the bead-set stones is raised or engraved to form decorative patterns. When there are three or more rows of diamonds in this way without partitions between the stones, it is called pave, which, in French means paved like a cobblestone road. In order to give the impression of a continuous diamond surface, it is customary to use white gold or platinum to support pave-set diamonds even if the rest of the ring is in yellow gold. This setting usually protects diamonds better than a prong setting.. Pave set rings appear larger even though the stones are smaller. Each tiny diamond, weighing just a few points, is fully cut with 58 facets. Though small in size, each stone contributes to the overall, shimmering look of the diamond ring . After it is positioned in its hole, tiny bits of metal from the surface of the shank are pushed over the edge of the diamond, forming tiny beads to hold the stone in place. This is a risky setting method in terms of possible stone damage. It does not provide as smooth of ring surface as bezel, channel and flush setting
Prong Setting
This is the most common type of setting. Prong setting is often used to hold the diamond in a solitaire diamond rings. Prong setting puts the emphasis on the stones and not the metal. It involves fitting the diamond in a metal head or basket and securing it with a minimum of three prongs or metal claws. The purpose of any setting is to hold the diamonds securely in the mounting and at the same time allow light to enter the diamonds for maximum brilliance. The shape of the prongs can vary. They may be rounded, elongated or pointed. There are many decorative variations of this setting style. The more metal used to hold the diamonds, the more secure they are; the less metal used, the greater the chance for the diamond to reflect light. For this reason, platinum is often the metal of choice for diamond solitaires. Because platinum is both dense and strong, very thin wires of it are sufficient to hold the diamond securely in place. The diamond may be raised high up above the shank to give it a larger appearance. In such a setting, the prongs are attached to the central setting of a ring, known as the head or basket. Each prong extends upward and outward from the head, arching over the diamond to form a secure grip. The ideal prong tapers to a rounded point. It should be smoothly finished, diminishing any chance of the prong snagging the threads of your clothes. The prongs should also be placed at the key points of the stone, typically at four corners or at four, five or six points evenly spaced around the stone, to offer security without interfering with the stone's brilliance. It allows more of the stone to be in view than most other styles. It's quicker and, therefore, less expensive to set than most other styles. It can hold large diamonds securely. Settings with six prongs are more secure than those with four prong. This setting allows diamonds to be more easily cleaned than the other styles. It can be used to set any type of gemstone, no matter how fragile it is. The major disadvantage of this setting is that it may not provide as smooth of a ring surface as some of the other styles. It does not protect diamonds as well as other styles since it leaves most of the girdle are exposed.
Channel Setting
This style is often used for wedding bands, but it may also be used to accent center stones. The diamonds are suspended in a channel of vertical walls with no metal separating the stones. Channel setting is also used when there is no center stone at all. The placement of baguettes around an entire band is a beautiful choice for a wedding band, one that goes well with a matching ring set with a diamond solitaire. Channel setting offers a sleek, elegant appearance, though the end result is a very different look. Channel setting protects the girdle are of diamonds as well as provide a smooth ring surface. None of the edges are exposed, and so they are not subject to hard knocks or general wear and tear. Usually more time consuming and costly than prong setting, when properly done. It should not be used for fragile gems.
Bezel Setting
A bezel is a band of metal that surrounds the diamond and holds it in place. They have become popular now as attractive settings for diamonds. The bezel may either fully or partially encircle the diamond. A bezel is a collar of precious metal that wraps around the diamond. The bezel is attached to the top of the ring and stands up above it, adding height and another dimension to the setting. Although solid bezels have a very traditional look, the bezel may be 'split' into two sections, arcing around just part of the diamond. It provides good protection for girdle and pavilion areas of the diamond. It can be used to set almost all gemstones without causing damage to them. It accentuates the circumference of the stone, making it appear larger than in prong setting. It provides a smooth ring surface. The major disadvantage of this setting is that it is usually more time consuming and expensive than prong and bead setting.
Tension Setting
Tension set products (rings & settings) are a unique means of showing and selling loose diamonds. Tension set diamonds, sometimes known as "floating diamonds" or "suspended diamonds". Ingenious setting which exposes the majority of the diamond to the surrounding light. Prong setting can over-power the stone and make it look heavy. A tension-set diamond is pressure held at its girdle within a gap created at the two pressing ends of a ring. The result is a stunning visual and aesthetic effect which exposes much of the diamond to the eye, and renders it to appear to almost hover in midair. Tension set product (rings & settings) is the very best method of showing a stones brilliance. It can enhance the color of the diamond by as much as two grades. There have been no known diamond losses due to tension set design. Diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire in tension set rings are popular as engagement setting and also as anniversary ring. The tension set ring concept is more than 40 years old. Tension set products are available in 14K yellow or white gold; 18K yellow or white gold; platinum and 18K yellow white gold & platinum. Stones with hardness of 8 and up can be set in tension ring settings. Any stone with surface fracture is not suitable for tension mounting. Rubies and sapphies as well as diamonds can be tension set in ring settings. Tension set products have been manufactured for stone sizes from 10 points (0.10 carat) to 8 carats. Tension set products are mostly made for round and princess cut diamonds (square).Tension set products are also manufactured for marquise, pears, trillion, radiant cut, and octogon diamonds.
Burnish Setting or Flush Setting
Flush Settings popularly known as Burnish Settings are a popular style among people who use their hands a lot in their profession as this setting offers good protection for their diamonds. In this setting the Diamonds are sunk into the mounting until they are nearly level or flush with the surface. Only the table of the diamond and a bit of the upper pavilion facets show. This is an innovative setting providing freedom to the diamond from the constraints of channel walls, prongs etc. This technique also seems to go against everything we know about diamonds in relation to light, but it's a very popular setting with a very subtle look. Flush Setting protects the girdle area of the diamonds and gives a smooth, tailored look. The flush setting is also used for larger stones, offering great protection and a modern look. This setting is usually more time consuming and expensive than prong and bead setting. It is a risky setting method, in terms of damage to the stones, so it should not be used for fragile gems.
Invisible Settings
Invisible-set diamonds are placed tightly next to each other with the metal of the setting concealed underneath the diamonds, allowing them to form a continous surface. It enhances brilliance because there's no metal on top of the stone to impede the entry of light. The invisible setting technique was developed in France more than two centuries ago. Jewelry designers use invisible setting techniques to create the illusion of larger diamonds in engagement rings and wedding rings. For eg a three stone ring that is prong set, round brilliant cut center diamond that's surrounded on the sides by princess cut diamonds may have an invisible setting to enhance its beauty
Bar Settings
In this setting, the stones are set between bars. The diamonds are nested in grooves and overlapped by metal using a special hammering tool. This type of setting is used for gems with hardness of 9 and up. Bar setting is a form of channel setting, except that the diamonds are set in channels across a ring, and stones on each end of the channel are exposed at the edges of the mounting instead of being secured in metal.
Cluster Settings
The cluster setting is another variation on the theme of choosing a ring with a number of smaller diamonds. There are cluster rings with the stones arranged in the form of a stylized flower, or those done as an abstract arrangement of stones. Cluster rings are usually multi-level, with considerable height above the hand. The arrangement of stones can be quite open and airy looking, or it may be more tightly arranged. The choice is a matter of taste, but the shape of the finger can also play a role in making that choice. Remember that the openwork design lengthens the look of the finger and the hand, while the more closed design draws the eye toward the hand.
Bead Setting
The same beading technique may be used on a ring in which the diamonds are spaced slightly apart. In this instance the metal work is much more of a statement and a design element. These beads, larger and more prominent, may be engraved or decorated. The diamonds may also be slightly larger in size. By varying the size of the stones and the size of the beadwork, the designer creates a totally different look.
Ballerina Setting
In the ballerina setting the baguette diamonds are placed tapering, they flow around a center stone to form a 'tutu', that short flared skirt worn by ballet dancers. There are ballerina rings in which baguettes are set in an undulating curve that literally emulates the tutu skirt of a dancer. This setting is used in the design of Classic multistone rings.
