Georgian jewelry, produced during the reigns of the four King Georges of England (1714-1830), is renowned for its elegance and sophistication. The jewelry of this period is characterized by the use of precious metals such as gold and silver, as well as the incorporation of gemstones, particularly diamonds, into intricate designs. Georgian jewelry also often features sentimental motifs such as lover's knots, acorns, and anchors, and reflects the societal and cultural values of the time. Paste jewelry, which imitates the sparkle of diamonds with the use of glass or crystal, was also popular during this period, particularly as a more affordable alternative to the real thing. Georgian jewelry remains highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts today for its refined craftsmanship and historical significance. On Handmade Jewelry. Hand-etched or hand-carved jewelry is valued because it is, by default, one of a kind. Unlike machine-made pieces, a handmade piece can never be replicated in the exact same way, and so they will always reveal the at-the-moment intent of the individual maker. Often, the pieces have a distinctively visceral feel, as though you can sense the painstaking labor that went into every aspect. _gsrx_vers_1608 (GS 9.5 (1608))
