The Archaeological Revival period was major within both the Georgian and Victorian eras. An umbrella term for a myriad of different periods and styles, Archeological revival jewelry is essentially jewelry that was recreated in the style of ancient jewelry, modeled on pieces that were unearthed in archaeological excavations.
