Ornaments in the Victorian style
During the reign of Queen Victoria, jewelry was created that combined several styles - Gothic, Empire , Classicism and Romance. Gold jewelry with black gems was popular.
Sentimentalism of that time was displayed in pendants and brooches in the form of hearts, pigeons, flowers and cupids. Interestingly, the color of the stone was not chosen by chance.
