The Edwardian Era was named for the reign of British King Edward VII. Though the King’s reign ended with his death in 1910, the aesthetic of the period continued until the outbreak of World War I. Platinum started to emerge as the newest metal in jewelry and was slowly mixed into designs with gold until fully platinum designs began to take over. Platinum’s durability and strength allowed jewelers to move away from the bulky gold designs of the Victorian Era and spin the novel metal into lace-like confections through openwork and piercing techniques. Garlands, bows, and floral designs flourished during the Edwardian Era’s celebration of all things elegant and feminine. Jewelers embraced filigree - fine wires twisted into delicate patterns - to create gossamer brooches, graceful lavalier necklaces, and elegant dinner rings. These Edwardian staples were often adorned with diamonds or pearls to complement platinum’s bright white sheen.
Advances in stone-cutting techniques during this era served as a bridge for the cuts we love today. The Old European Cut took us a step closer to the Modern Round Brilliant, with its rounder shape and smaller, more symmetrical facets. In the step cut realm, the dazzling Asscher cut was patented in 1902 and later became a sensation in the Art Deco Era that followed. Though diamonds were the gem of choice, Edwardian pieces often featured onyx, sapphires, aquamarines, and verdant demantoid garnets to accent their ethereal color palette.
A breathtaking treasure, this antique ring features a beautiful 1.25 carat old european cut diamond held in a classic 6 prong claw setting. Set in rich 14 karat yellow gold, the band showcases ornate, hand-carved acanthus scrollwork along the shoulders that frames the center diamond with romantic Edwardian artistry. A gorgeous piece, this makes it a standout engagement ring for any bride-to-be
