The Etruscans were an ancient civilization in Italy, and in the 19th century, archeologists discovered the remains of the city - including exotic gold jewelry. As a result, Victorian designers copied the style, and these Etruscan Revival pieces were worn by women looking for a worldly aesthetic. The style is noted for its intricate gold work that’s wound across the surface of the piece. On Victorian. A young Queen Victoria assumed her role in 1837 and her taste in jewelry quickly became culturally influential, within England and beyond. Her relationship to jewelry was enmeshed with her husband, Prince Albert, who gifted the Queen for their engagement, a snake ring, embedded with an emerald (her birthstone) in its head. Continuing from the Georgian era and intensified by Queen Victoria’s taste, sentimental and figural jewelry was a major trend throughout the Victorian era. When certain ideas and words were deemed too forward or improper to be spoken, jewelry and symbolic meaning was used to communicate what was left unsaid. _gsrx_vers_1680 (GS 9.8.3 (1680))
