A slew of beautiful pieces were produced during the period that today are coveted by collectors.<\/p>\n<p>There are certain features that distinguish jewelry from this era, including the fact that pieces from the 18th and early 19th centuries was handmade (so don\u2019t let the absence of a maker\u2019s mark lead you to believe otherwise). Georgian jewelry also has a certain \u201clook.\u201d It\u2019s a bit gray because stones were often set in silver, and because stonecutting techniques were not as advanced as they are today, the gems do not possess the level of sparkle to which we have become accustomed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_295843\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-295843\" class=\"wp-image-295843 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4173973_master.jpg\" alt=\"diamond cluster ring\" width=\"768\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4173973_master.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4173973_master-552x350.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4173973_master-120x76.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-295843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/engagement-rings\/antique-georgian-ladies-diamond-cluster-ring\/id-j_4173973\/\">Diamond cluster ring<\/a>, ca. 1820<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Intricate metalworking techniques such as repouss\u00e9 (the hammering of metal into ornate designs) and cannetille (a method of working the gold wire to make it look woven) allowed goldsmiths to really flex their muscles. These gold pieces, either on their own or combined with gemstones, made for highly original and dramatic jewelry.

It is common to find jewelry that is made of silver, 18-karat gold (often in combination with silver) or pinchbeck, an alloy that was part copper and part zinc and that resembled gold.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, most jewelry was not stamped with the gold karat weight, but jewelers were responsible for disclosing this so that consumers were not fooled into purchasing something that they thought was truly gold. Another commonly used material was foil. Gemstones were normally backed by foil to provide another layer of luminescence, and since stones had closed backs, the foil was not visible.<\/p>\n<p>Nonprecious metals like steel and iron were also popular. Around 1759, King Louis XV of France asked the people of the Republic to help fund the Seven Years\u2019 War by donating their gold jewelry, and in return they received cut steel. This led to the production of some beautiful steel pieces.<\/p>\n<p>The German government asked their citizens to do the same around 1804 to help the German army defeat Napoleon. Known as \u201cFer de Berlin,\u201d these pieces were replicas of the owner\u2019s original gold items, and they were engraved with \u201c<em>Gold gab ich f\u00fcr Eisen<\/em>,\u201d or \u201cI gave gold for iron.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong>Gemstones (Real and Fake)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_294813\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-294813\" class=\"wp-image-294813 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/XXX_32_1395011675_1.jpg\" alt=\"Georgian French Paste Silver Pendant\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/XXX_32_1395011675_1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/XXX_32_1395011675_1-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/XXX_32_1395011675_1-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/XXX_32_1395011675_1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/XXX_32_1395011675_1-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-294813\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/necklaces\/drop-necklaces\/georgian-french-paste-silver-pendant\/id-j_173826\/\">French paste silver pendant<\/a>, ca. 1790<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/pearl\/\">Pearls<\/a>, along with colored gemstones like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/garnet\/\">garnets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/ruby\/\">rubies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/sapphire\/\">sapphires<\/a>, were widely used in Georgian jewelry.

Like the use of pinchbeck, it was a way for the lower echelons of society to wear &#8220;good&#8221; jewelry (or at least what appeared to be good).

Parures often contained pieces that were convertible \u2014 for instance, a pendant that could be worn as a brooch.<\/p>\n<p>There were many changes in jewelry design in the 19th century, not only because of the war effort but also because of industrialization.
