Gold is a commodity...a tangible, useful mineral extracted from ore and refined for use. The very fact of its unique properties (divisibility, durability, scarcity, and its recognizable luster) make it an unmatched medium of exchange, and also a safe haven for citizens.

History of Victorian Jewelry
The Victorian period follows the reign of Queen Victoria in Great Britain from 1836 to 1901. Queen Victoria's love for her husband and children inspired jewelry that reflected a romantic and sentimental outlook. Flowers, hearts, bows and birds inspired beautiful pieces of jewelry which showed the craftsmanship of the Victorian age. Serpent motifs were also popular. Gemstones were often used during the Victorian period and helped keep jewelry affordable for the mass market. Garnets, amethysts, corals, turquoise, and seed pearls were in style. Opals were increasingly popular as Queen Victoria adored them. Diamonds were discovered in South Africa in 1867 and became popular during this period. Human hair was also incorporated in jewelry during the Victorian Period. This jewelry was given as a token of love and also worn as mourning jewelry.
We carry a wide selection of Victorian Jewelry at our mall
