Delicate, romantic, feminine and lacy well describes jewels of the Edwardian era. Named after the brief reign of King Edward (1901-1910), Edwardian jewelry is usually rendered platinum, or platinum over gold, and represent some of the most exquisite and intricately detailed pieces extant. Delicate piercing lends a light and airy look and feel to curvaceous, open designs. Diamond studded bows and garlands frequently embellish central diamonds, pastel colored gemstones, and natural pearls. For good reason the corresponding design period in France is called La Belle Époque (The Beautiful Era).
