โ€ฆVictorian jewelry (1837โ€“1901) is known for its romantic and ornate designs. They are often, besides gemstones, featuring floral motifs and sentimental symbols.

โ€ฆEdwardian jewelry (1901โ€“1910) is characterized by its delicate elegance, intricate lace-like metalwork and sometimes extensive use of diamonds and platinum.

Well, I told you it would be shortโ€ฆ
