Style
Victorian - Victorian decorative arts 指的是维多利亚时代装饰艺术的风格。维多利亚时代以对历史风格的折中复兴与解读著称，并在家具、五金、室内装饰引入来自中东和亚洲的跨文化影响。维多利亚设计普遍被视为沉溺于过度装饰的风格。艺术与工艺运动、审美运动、英日式风格、以及新艺术运动都起源于晚期维多利亚时代。

Style specifics
The Romantic Victorian Period - 专家将维多利亚女王的在位时期（也称为维多利亚时代，1837-1901）分为约二十年的三个阶段；浪漫维多利亚时期（1837-1860）、宏伟维多利亚时期（1860-1880）以及后期或审美维多利亚时期（1880-1901）。

我们认为这属于浪漫维多利亚时期。该时期涵盖维多利亚成为英国及爱尔兰女王的加冕，以及她与阿尔伯特国王的婚姻与爱情；她对婚姻与国家的忠诚是本时期的灵感来源。本时期的珠宝以复杂的雕刻、缀有特殊技法的珐琅处理为特征。这些技法使珠宝在需要较少贵金属的情况下仍显得华丽。考虑到当时贵金属相对稀缺。该时期偏好（半）宝石包括紫水晶、珊瑚、石榴石、扁珠和绿松石。它的内涵显然带有情感性、象征性与浪漫性，并常出现哥特式和/或文艺复兴图样，以及大量运用锚、鸟、树枝、十字、心形和蛇等图案。
