Victorian Chain Necklaces
VICTORIAN STYLE
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.

Vintage Original French Medal Pendant Gold Plated Chain Necklace
By J DAUPHIN
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Vintage Original Marquis shaped Medal Pendant
The medal has the phrase "Je suis l'Immaculée Conception" in French and translates to "I am the Immaculate Conception". The term "Immaculate Conception" refers to a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, which holds that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. This is a unique privilege granted to Mary, as all other human beings, according to Christian doctrine, are conceived with original sin as a result of the Fall of Man.
This medal could serve as a symbol of faith, a tool for prayer, or a reminder of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.
The phrase "Je suis l'Immaculée Conception" is reportedly what Mary said to Bernadette Soubirous during the apparitions at Lourdes, France, in 1858. Therefore, such a medal may also have a particular connection to the Marian devotion associated with Lourdes.
On the other side of the medal it has the date 8th of December 1933 engraved which is a significant date in Catholic tradition as it is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day that celebrates the doctrine that Mary was conceived without original sin.
The year 1933 marked the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX, which was on December 8, 1854. A medal bearing this date could have been created to commemorate this significant milestone.
It also says "S. Bernadette PPN Navars" which likely refers to Saint Bernadette...

Symbols or medals can become a powerful tool in our arsenal for the spiritual.
Since ancient times spiritual pendants, religious medals has been used to protect us. During challenging times, such as today, humanity must come together as a collective of mind and soul through a shared action of love and compassion. With a desire to (re)build confidence and (re)find faith and spirituality within, a medal can become a symbol to help us cope with the uncertain reality and create a sense of spiritual protection and remembrance to hold compassion in our hearts.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, or Virgin of Carmel, is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in her role as patroness of the Carmelite Order, particularly within the Catholic Church. The first Carmelites were Christian hermits living on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land during the late 12th and early to mid-13th century. They built in the midst of their hermitages a chapel which they dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, whom they conceived of in chivalric terms as the "Lady of the place." Our Lady of Mount Carmel was adopted in the 19th century as the patron saint of Chile.
Since the 15th century, popular devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel has centered on the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, also known as the Brown Scapular.
The Carmelite Order was the only religious order to be started in the Crusader States. In the 13th century, some of its people migrated west to England, setting up a chapter and being documented there about 1241–1242. A tradition first attested to in the late 14th century says that Simon Stock, believed to be an early English prior general of the Carmelite Order soon after its migration to England, had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary in which she gave him the Brown Scapular. This formed part of the Carmelite habit after 1287. In Stock's vision, Mary promised that those who died wearing the scapular would be saved. This is a devotional sacramental signifying the wearer's consecration to Mary and affiliation with the Carmelite order. It symbolizes her special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way.
The Carmelites consider the Blessed Virgin Mary to be a perfect model of the interior life of prayer and contemplation to which Carmelites aspire, as well as a model of virtue, in the person who was closest in life to Jesus Christ. She is seen as the one who points Christians most surely to Christ. As she says to the servants at the wedding at Cana, "Do whatever he [Jesus] tells you." Carmelites look to the Virgin Mary as a Spiritual Mother. The Stella Maris Monastery (Star of the Sea...
