Georgian Clip-on Earrings

GEORGIAN STYLE

Georgian jewelry is named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who in succession ruled England starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign, which lasted until 1837). A slew of beautiful pieces were produced during the period, and today antique Georgian rings, necklaces and other accessories are coveted by fine jewelry collectors.

There are certain features that distinguish jewelry from this era, including the fact that pieces from the 18th and early 19th centuries were handmade (so don’t let the absence of a maker’s mark lead you to believe otherwise). Antique Georgian jewelry also has a certain “look.” It’s 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.

Intricate metalworking techniques such as repoussé (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. The era also saw pieces with ornately woven strands of human hair.

Pearls, along with colored gemstones like garnets, rubies and sapphires, were widely used in Georgian jewelry. These were often cut in the shape of a cabochon or teardrop. It was fashionable to combine garnets or rubies with seed pearls. In Georgian diamond rings, popular cuts for diamonds included rose, old mine and table. Around the 1780s, paste jewelry, or hand-cut glass on foil, was used to imitate diamonds.

A single row jewelled necklace and earrings, att. F. Winter for C Dior, 1950s
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A charming 'riviere' necklace and matching earrings, attributed and thought to be designed by Francis Winter for Christian Dior, in the early 1950s. Constructed of individual deep 'pools of faceted light', most clear, though some have a hand tinted/painted hue, this is a very simple but striking design, very much on the French style and the glorious style of the early designs of the House of Dior. Francis Winter was a celebrated jeweller who was in charge of all jewellery creation and production, at the House of Dior from its beginings and through into the 1950s. Made of beautifully faceted and deep, some softly tinted, pools of paste, each placed in an antiqued decorative setting. The necklace and earrings has an overall 18th century feel to it, expressing Dior's reminiscence of 18th century France, a looking back to more romantic and opulent times. A very classic simple design, whose every stone softly glitters and sparkles. Christian Dior was born into a wealthy family in 1905, being raised in the Normandy seaside town of Granville. Working first for Robert Piguet...
