necklaces, dazzling
bracelets and the usual panoply of sparkling

The
Georgian Period extends roughly from 1714-1830, which includes the reigns of four English Kings named George.
Jewelry during this time was all handmade by skilled artisans and pieces from this era are very rare today. It was a time of upheaval, with the French Revolution, American Revolution and Napoleonic Wars taking place.
Gold and
diamonds were scarce during this time period, so alternatives like glass “
paste” copies of diamonds were created as well as other white colored stones.
Garnets,
pearls, and
coral were used very often, while carving gemstones was very popular. Women often worn bracelets in pairs and earrings were worn long with hair kept upswept.
Jeweled arm bands worn high on the arm were popular near the beginning of the time period, with a change to more delicate jewelry happening towards the end.
