This romantic piece was created for the Etsy Beadweavers Team March 2011 Challenge, "Fashion Through the Ages." My piece is a reminder of the Victorian era. "Victorian jewelry" is a term used for the jewelry made in the United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Victoria, 1837-1901. The same term is used for European jewelry made in the 19th century. Some of the Victorian era jewelry was made in Gothic and Renaissance styles, featuring pearls and coral and later red garnets, usually in gold settings.
