Grand Period of Victorian fashion (1861-1885), was a time when Queen Victoria’s reign saw a rise in both deep mourning after Prince Albert’s death and a booming industrial revolution. These earrings are a great example of substantial settings showcasing the newfound wealth, punctuated by the somber elegance of the garnet. It was a time of bold contrasts, where mourning attire shimmered with the sparkle of diamonds and grief was adorned with the fiery beauty of the garnet.
