Dozens of Indian princes and foreign potentates arrived in London for the crowning, all competing to look more splendid than the other.<\/p>\n<p>Among the nobility and the nouveau riche, there was an unabashed display of material wealth, including the new Duchess of Marlborough, born a Vanderbilt, and other \u201cdollar princesses.\u201d At the same time, Mary Princess of Wales (later to become Queen Mary), developed her personal style motto: \u201cOne can never wear too many diamonds.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_286773\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/necklaces\/choker-necklaces\/edwardian-seed-pearl-diamond-choker\/id-j_227862\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-286773\" class=\"wp-image-286773 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ORG_14485N_l.jpg\" alt=\"peal and diamond choker\" width=\"768\" height=\"317\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-286773\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/necklaces\/choker-necklaces\/edwardian-seed-pearl-diamond-choker\/id-j_227862\/\">Edwardian seed pearl and diamond choker, ca. 1900<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>At the time, pearls were more valuable than diamonds.

The Cartier brand became even more desirable once the house became the official jewelry supplier to King Edward VII. Cartier took this title seriously and designed some of the most innovative jewelry of its day, since it was willing to experiment with new materials like platinum and because it was mindful of fashion trends.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Cartier retailed an elongated necklace called the lavalier, named after the French theater actress \u00c8ve Lavalli\u00e8re, which was a double pendant. Boucheron also had its own signature piece, thanks to Paul LeGrand\u2019s design for a necklace of strung pearls separated by diamond rondelles.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Materials and Techniques<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_286803\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/engagement-rings\/platinum-diamond-edwardian-engagement-fashion-ring\/id-j_3823803\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-286803\" class=\"wp-image-286803 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3823803_master.jpg\" alt=\"Platinum and Diamond Edwardian Engagement\/Fashion Ring\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3823803_master.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3823803_master-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3823803_master-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3823803_master-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3823803_master-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-286803\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/engagement-rings\/platinum-diamond-edwardian-engagement-fashion-ring\/id-j_3823803\/\">Edwardian platinum and diamond ring, ca. 1900<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Cartier was the first to experiment with platinum, prompting the white-on-white look. A durable metal, platinum isn&#8217;t as malleable as gold and less of it is needed to make a strong setting. This led to the creation of an \u201cinvisible setting,\u201d where diamonds looked liked there were floating in air, or on the skin. Filigree settings also became popular. This saw-piercing technique was decorative and at the same time created a sense of lightness.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps even more important than Cartier\u2019s use of platinum was the founding of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/de-beers\/\">De Beers<\/a> Consolidated Mines Limited in 1888. The discovery of new diamond mines made the stone more affordable and prompted the introduction of new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/gemstone-cuts-guide\/\">gemstone cuts<\/a>. It is not uncommon to see Edwardian jewels with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone-cut\/baguette\/\">baguette<\/a> or briolette diamonds.
