Style: 介于晚期维多利亚风格与美丽时代风格之间——维多利亚时代装饰艺术指的是维多利亚时期的装饰艺术风格。维多利亚时代以其多元复兴与对历史风格的解读、以及中东与亚洲的跨文化影响在家具、配件和室内装饰中的引入而著称。

维多利亚设计被广泛视为过度繁复的象征。
美丽时代风格（Belle Époque，法语意为“美好时代”）是欧洲社会历史上一个时期，始于19世纪末并延续至第一次世界大战。此时期正值法国第三共和国与德国帝国时期，回顾性命名的“美丽时代”象征欧洲列强的黄金阶段，新技术改善了生活，商业艺术将文艺复兴与十八世纪风格融入现代形式。在新发财的美国，经历1873年金融恐慌后，相对的时期被称为镀金时代。在英国，这一时期与所称的维多利亚时代末期和爱德华时代相交。

Technique: 珐琅是一项古老且被广泛采用的技术。古埃及人将珐琅涂覆于陶器与石制物件之上。古希腊人、凯尔特人、俄罗斯人和中国人也在金属物件上使用过珐琅工艺。珐琅是通过在底材上融入粉末玻璃并烧结而成的彩色涂层，通常温度在750到850摄氏度之间。粉末熔化、流动并硬化，形成金属、玻璃或陶瓷上的光滑而耐用的玻璃质涂层。某些资料显示，“珐琅”一词源自高地德语 smelzen（熔炼）通过古法语 esmail 的演变。作为名词时，“珐琅”通常指小型装饰物，覆以珐琅涂层，如镂雕珐琅或珐琅镶嵌（不同技法）。

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 cut 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.

- Antique and vintage jewellery often undergoes thoughtful refurbishment, remodelling, or repairs to enhance its longevity and wearability. Such pieces frequently bear marks of this tender care. Furthermore, we present our antique and vintage jewellery in its authentic state, refraining from removing scratches or applying rhodium plating to white gold items. Our priority is to preserve the genuine allure and history of each piece. However, as the new owner, you have the option to take it to a local goldsmith for a cosmetic refresh, should you choose.
