A Close Look at Victorian Jewelry

The reign of Queen Victoria encapsulates a quickly evolving period of history — and jewelry styles were no exception. No single period has seen such a diverse group of jewelry attributed to it than the Victorian era. Today, there is a vast collection of authentic antique Victorian jewelry and watches on 1stDibs.

Victorian jewelry is named after Queen Victoria, whose reign lasted from 1837 to 1901, making her the second longest-ruling monarch. (She was surpassed by Queen Elizabeth II in 2015.) During this time, different styles of fashion and jewelry came and went. Thanks to our fascination with royalty and swoon-worthy melodramas like Netflix’s The Crown — which is rife with evocative fashion, jewelry and interiors — and the 2017 feature film Victoria & Abdul, we are all familiar with her story. After the death of Victoria’s father and three childless uncles, she ascended to the throne at age 18. In 1840, Queen Victoria married the love of her life, her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Queen Victoria loved serpentine jewels, and she had even more power to shape trends than Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle do today. The British monarch’s best-known piece in this mold is the gold coiled-snake engagement ring she received from Prince Albert — the sinuous reptile was considered a symbol of everlasting love.

The Queen's 63-year reign has been divided by historians into the Romantic period, the early happy years, circa 1837–60; the Grand period, marked by the deaths of the Queen’s mother and husband, circa 1860–80; and the late Victorian or Aesthetic period, which lasted from about 1880 until 1901 and ushered in the Belle Époque. Queen Victoria wore her heart on her sleeve, and her fashion and jewelry reflected her emotions.

Romantic period jewelry, which featured common decorative motifs and was embellished with seed pearls, coral and turquoise, was a celebration of the young monarch’s love. Everything changed with the death of Prince Albert, and the Grand period is most often associated with mourning jewelry. Jewelry was smaller, lighter and more dainty during the late Victorian period. During this era, diamonds came into fashion, and semiprecious gems such as amethysts and opals became prevalent, too. Using gemstones for their natural beauty and not their worth was something that jewelers of the era felt passionate about, and this ideology would really become relevant in Art Nouveau jewelry.

Questions About Victorian Yellow Gold
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, yellow gold contains real gold. The makeup of yellow gold is pure gold mixed with alloys. The karatage of yellow gold determines the amount of pure gold.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    The difference between yellow gold and white gold comes down to the alloys used to produce them. Yellow gold gets its color from pure gold and alloy metals in warm hues like copper. On the other hand, white gold's cool appearance is owed to the presence of alloy metals like silver, zinc, palladium and nickel. Shop a variety of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, 18k gold can tarnish, but it is uncommon. Pure gold does not combine easily with oxygen and therefore does not tarnish. The higher the karat, the less likely a piece of gold will tarnish.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, yellow gold is popular for engagement rings. The most popular metals for engagement ring settings are white gold, yellow gold, platinum and rose gold. 1stDibs has found that buyers of engagement rings cite style and setting as the most important features when selecting a ring, followed by center stone type and shape. Find antique and vintage engagement rings set in yellow gold on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Yes, yellow gold can be good for engagement rings. Many people love the warm, rich color of yellow gold, and the metal has been used to produce rings for centuries, giving it timeless appeal. Also, yellow gold tends to be durable enough to withstand the effects of daily wear. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of yellow gold engagement rings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Indian gold is 100% pure 24 karat gold, and is very yellow in color because it is not mixed with other alloys. People from India buy this gold as an investment as well as for jewelry, and there are far fewer buyers of 18 karat and 22 karat gold. Shop a collection of Indian gold jewelry from some of the worlds top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Whether white gold or yellow gold is better for diamond earrings is a matter of personal preference.

Explore a large collection of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    No, yellow gold engagement rings are not out of style. In fact, white gold and yellow gold are still among the most popular metals for engagement rings and wedding rings. It's important to note that while current trends with respect to engagement rings may seem to ebb and flow more quickly than those of days gone by, couples don't get engaged the moment a trend emerges. Whatever may be trending now with respect to engagement rings may be a style or cut that has been popular for years. Find antique and vintage wedding rings on 1stDibs.
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Whether yellow gold engagement rings are out of style depends largely on who you ask. To many individuals, yellow gold is a timeless precious metal that remains appealing despite changing trends. That's part of the reason why brides in the British royal family, from Meghan Markle to Kate Middleton to Princess Diana, all received yellow gold engagement rings. Find a diverse assortment of yellow gold engagement rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Whether you should wear a yellow or white gold sapphire ring is a matter of personal choice. Some people love the look of contrasting metals and stones, so they may prefer to place a cool blue or clear sapphire in a warm-toned yellow gold setting. Those who want a more unified look can choose metals and gemstones with a similar color temperature, such as white gold with a blue sapphire. Shop a wide variety of sapphire rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Whether diamond studs are better in white or yellow gold depends on your preferences. Yellow gold makes an appealing contrast with clear diamonds and brings warmth to earrings. On the other hand, white gold's cooler appearance can allow the diamonds to take center stage. Choose the variety that you like best. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of diamond stud earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    It could be said that yellow gold engagement rings aren't coming back in style because people never stop wearing them.

Not only is yellow gold visually appealing, but as an alloy that combines pure gold with base metals, it resists scratching and tarnishing, allowing rings to stand the test of time. Shop a wide range of yellow gold engagement rings on 1stDibs.
