The Victorian Era

This 10-part series is a journey in "Jewellery Through the Ages" beginning in the Georgian era and going all the way up to modern day. In this episode, Matthew and Alyce chat about the three stages of the very long and very influential Victorian period. So much of the jewellery at this time had little hidden messages and romantic personal touches while natural motifs were extremely popular. Every week, Matty and Alyce pick their favourite jewellery icons from the period and this week's icons are Queen Victoria and Empress Eugénie de Montijo. Producer: Ross Hannon www.courtville.ie
