Style: Late-Victorian と Belle Époque の間の何か - Victorian decorative arts はヴィクトリア朝時代の装飾美術のスタイルを指します。ヴィクトリア時代は、多様な復古主義と歴史的スタイルの解釈、家具・付属品・室内装飾における中東・アジアとの異文化的影響の導入で知られています。

Victorian design は、過剰な装飾の増長を伴うと広く見なされています。
Belle Époque（フランス語で“美しい時代”）は、19世紀後半に始まり第一次世界大戦まで続いた欧州の社会史の時代です。フランス第三共和政とドイツ帝国の時代に起こり、後世に“黄金時代”と呼ばれるようになりました。新技術が生活を向上させ、商業美術がルネサンス風および18世紀の様式を現代的形態へと適応しました。1873年の恐慌から立ち上がった新興の米国では、これと同様の時代が“金貨時代”と呼ばれました。英国では、この時代はヴィクトリア朝の終わりとエドワーディアン時代の前夜が重なる時期として捉えられます。

Technique: Enamelling is an old and widely-adopted technology. The ancient Egyptians applied enamels to pottery and stone objects. The ancient Greeks, Celts, Russians, and Chinese also used enameling processes on metal objects. Enamel is the colorful result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating on metal, glass or ceramic. According to some sources, the word enamel comes from the High German word smelzan (to smelt) via the Old French esmail. Used as a noun, "an enamel" is a usually small decorative object, coated with enamel coating, such as a champlevé or a cloisonné (different techniques).

Diamond(s): Nine rose cut diamonds and senailles . A senaille is a simplified rose cut diamond, a small diamond chip with perhaps a few polished facets. We do not have the weight of the rose cuts diamonds nor the senailles which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cut diamonds and senailles.

Precious stones: Four sapphires . We did not check if the sapphires are lab produced or not as this information has no influence on the value of this jewel. Natural sapphires and lab produced sapphires were both used in this era, rather more for their effect than for their intrinsic value.

Birthstones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April and sapphire for September.
