Victorian jewellery was characterised by gemstones that carried deep symbolic meanings. The selection of diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, garnets, and seed pearls was based not only on their beauty but also on their symbolism — representing love, mourning, protection, and devotion. Gold was the prevalent metal, often adorned with vibrant colors and intricate engravings, while techniques such as repoussé, cannetille, and enamel work enhanced the depth and texture of each design.
