As a jewelry designer I have collected and studied antique jewelry for decades. Today I'm talking about Victorian jewelry. I have another video on Georgian jewelry and will continue this series to discuss the jewelry periods that are highly collected. I hope you enjoy!

SO much great information. I'll have to watch this a few times to soak it all in. I love when things are put into historical context. When you mentioned women going to work and the skirts getting wider and necklines getting lower it made me think about how fashion and jewelry trends change together. I would be curious to watch more videos where you talk about some of the turning points like this.

[@JillMaurer]

Thanks Autumn! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and are getting something out of it. I will definitely try to keep putting everything in perspective with the bigger picture. xoxo

[@stacyrosa6672]

I'm new to your channel, and I was disappointed that you weren't showing examples of the jewelry. Honestly though, the presentation was fascinating, and informative. Now I am going to check out some of your other stuff!

Funny how when women's hair got shorter in the Victorian era, the earrings got smaller, but in the 1920's, with the flappers and their short bobs, the earrings got longer. Just goes to show how perspectives change where style and fashion are concerned and the cyclical nature of it all.

Victorian jewelry is my favorite. I particularly like the mourning jewelry

[@JillMaurer]

The mourning jewelry fascinates me. It is a practice we totally fell out of which makes it even more mystical.

[@PiperAddy]

Yes I bought several pieces over the years but I'm scared to wear them because they are kind of creepy. Especially the ones with human hair.

[@leeleelv]

I can’t wait to hit the button to watch your videos ,you are truly so informative and soft spoken ,very knowledgeable ,I am really enjoying learning about these things ,Victorian Jewelry is something I really didn’t know much about until now ,I did read somewhere that prior to “The Diamond Engagement Ring” becoming the go to piece of jewelry to offer someone for engagement ,jewelry was only worn by Royalty and was also worn at night time because it was considered vulgar to wear such jewels during the day time ,I am sure you have heard this as well ,I am truly not sure how very true this is ,however still very interesting ,prior to the 1930’s I also read that a diamond was not offered as a form of engagement ,”A Diamond Is Forever” was started by the Debeers Corp. and oh what a successful campaign it turned out to be , today people seem to frown upon an engagement without a diamond ,thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us Jill I am truly enjoying each and every video ! So fascinating ! Xo

[@JillMaurer]

Lisa, I'm so happy you are enjoying my videos!I could swear that I did a whole video on the history of wedding rings and when diamonds came into play. I remember doing the video at some point in the past! Now I can't find i anywhere! DeBeers is absolutely the reason that we associate diamonds with engagement rings, and it didn't happen until the 20th century. Maybe I'll plan to do a new video on this topic. Thank you!! xoxo

[@leeleelv]

Jill Maurer I will go back and see if I can find that video but I definitely think it would be a great topic to talk about ,so many people are unaware on the truth about diamonds ,that they truly are not rare at all ,their value does not increase over time ,most people usually find out the truth about diamonds when they are put in the position to ever have to sell it ,you will never get back what you invested in that diamond. I loved this video in particular because I’ve never learned anything about Victorian jewelry ! Looking forward to more ! Xo

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about the history of Victorian period. Oh that’s so tragic for Queen Victoria when her both parents died at the same year. It’s amazing to know all these things. Now I remember my mom used to have her beautiful Victorian jewelries when I was young. I used to wear her Victorian necklace with locket pendant when I’m going through her jewelries. Thanks so much for sharing this, it just reminded me of my great childhood memories. ❤️

[@JillMaurer]

Your jewelry sounds amazing! It was Victoria's mother and husband who died the same year. I can't even imagine what that would be like.

[@MadamMMStyleIcon]

Can you please help me identify a gorgeous 18k necklace and pendant? I think the stone may be citrine? Gorgeous

[@JillMaurer]

Your necklace sounds lovely. It's difficult to identify jewelry through photos alone so the best thing is to take it to someone in person. xoxo

[@lesliecraven3087]

I learned so much I wear and collect from the aesthetic or late Victorian period. Is there a reason the motifs are bamboo,birds, bulrushes and cranes? Great necklace by the way. It’s my favorite of your jewelry designs

[@JillMaurer]

Thank you Leslie! Those motifs were oriental themes popular in Victorian art and literature. Victorians loved travel and anything they perceived to be exotic.

I found a blue enamel victorian locket in the hills around my house, where an old flume trail was and where the rich used to take boat rides down the hill. been wondering who I could show it to, to get some info. It had dried purple make up inside and is silver on the edges I'm pretty sure
