The Story: Edwardian-era jewelry, which spanned approximately 1901 to 1910 during the reign of King Edward VII, is distinguished by the new trends that inspired it. Contemporary with the Art Nouveau and Rococo movements, it uses delicate patterns such as garlands, bows and flowers. Jewelry from this era was often made of platinum, a novelty for the time, and adorned with diamonds, pearls, and colored gemstones such as sapphires and emeralds.
