Exploring London Jewellers for Vintage Jewelry from Various Eras
If you are looking for something a little different in jewelry, you may want to look into purchasing estate jewelry. Jewellery shops in London, Ontario offer some great vintage jewelry options. You can pick old jewelry from various periods, including art deco jewellery (including art deco rings), Victorian jewelry, retro jewellry or styles from other eras.
The Victorian period, of which jewellery and ornamentation was a large part, lasted from 1837 to 1901 and was greatly influenced by Queen Victoria Alexandrina of England. The vintage jewelry of the early Victorian era focused on pieces that were more delicately designed, with beautiful engraving. The general themes of these pieces centered on natural origins like flowers, trees and birds. The later mid Victorian jewelry pieces were heavier and consisted of conservative gothic shapes and designs. Victorian jewelry in the later part of that period was influenced by archeological expeditions that took place to Italy, Egypt and Greece.
Victorian jewelry pieces were made up from materials like jet, human hair, seed pearls, gold and sterling silver. It was common to wear a lock of a loved one's hair encased in an old jewelry piece. Victorians of the era also wore hair lockets, rings, earrings and watch fobs.
If you want something a little different in the jewellry you wear, and want to make a statement in your own style, you may want to explore the options from jewellery stores London has to offer in the way of fine jewellery from the Victorian era.
The Edwardian era lasted from 1901 to 1910. The fashion and jewelry styles of this era were greatly influenced by King Edward, the son of Queen Victoria. During this period, the economy was strong and prosperity reigned. In Edwardian jewelry, lace-like designs were typical, fashioned in white gold or platinum and frequently set with diamond accents. Advancements were made in diamond cutting techniques and the Edwardian jewelry prevalent at the time reflected the new diamond cuts.
The Art Nouveau period, from 1890 to 1910 (overlapping the Victorian jewelry era a little) took on a rebellious note against the restrictions in design and lifestyle from the Victorian period. These antique jewelry designs were really miniature works of art, with free flowing lines in design. These pieces included Plique a'jour, a process of enameling that is transparent without a backing that created a beautiful stained glass effect. Themes incorporated life forms, orchids, lilies, irises, ferns, snakes, animals, and dragonflies into sensual shapes, and used opals, moonstones, horn, ivory, carved shells and pieces of glass. The Art Noveau jewellry pieces are still extremely popular today.
If you are looking for an art deco jewellery piece you may want to know a little more about that period of jewellery design. The art deco period, which lasted from 1920 to 1939, was a time for self-indulgence in strong contrast to the earlier Victorian period. Art deco jewellery had strong geometric shapes and symmetrical themes with diamonds, other precious stones and had bold bright colors.
Another era of jewellry that you may be interested in is the Retro period. The time period for retro jewellry included 1940 to 1950. At that time, the war had closed down most of the jewellery firms in Europe so fine jewellery came mostly from the United States marketplace. Hollywood stars became the designing influence for retro jewellry styles. Large bold pieces using stones like aquamarine, citrine, topaz and synthetics were popular. Many people today still find pieces from the retro jewellry era attractive and desirable. You can find many fine jewellery pieces from the retro jewellry era at a London jewellers location.
Although looking for vintage jewellery may be a bit of a challenge making your own personal statement and investing in estate jewelry can be very rewarding. In fact, Nash Jewellers is one of the only stores in London that specializes in estate jewellery.

You may even find the very piece you are looking for to set off your own personal style.
