Edwardian Jewellery 1901-1910
Edwardian jewellery, spanning from 1901 to 1910 during King Edward VII's reign, is marked by exquisite craftsmanship and intricate designs that exude elegance. A defining feature is the use of platinum, which enabled delicate filigree work and airy designs, with techniques like millegrain enhancing their visual appeal.

Diamonds were the predominant gemstones, celebrated for their brilliance, often paired with sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and pearls in harmonious combinations. The color palette leaned towards soft pastels, reflecting the era's romantic sensibilities.

Nature-inspired motifs, including floral designs and butterflies, are common, embodying whimsy and elegance. Edwardian jewellery, with its timeless beauty and intricate detailing, remains a treasured category among collectors and enthusiasts.
