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.
You can't beat a sunset pink tourmaline surrounded by diamonds! This Edwardian ring boasts all the best features of the classic halo style! A rosy 0.75 oval carat Tourmaline appears positively lit from within, while 0.20 total carats of dazzling white Old Mine Cut diamonds adorn the halo. The buttery 18 karat yellow gold setting beautifully enhances the pink of the tourmaline and contrasts with the white of the diamonds. Pink tourmaline is associated with love, compassion, emotional healing and self love, making it a wonderful alternative engagement ring or celebration of a personal milestone.
