Most of the world during the Georgian era felt light-hearted and very social and their jewelry reflected the sentiment. Fashion trends of the time were bright and fanciful, even for the men, and changing with lightning speed – gaining popularity in one country then moving to another and months later, back again to the first. 

Jewelry styles in the Georgian period were mostly broken up into day and night pieces. By day, a woman might wear a cameo, small colored stone rings, earrings, a necklace, and most notably a châtelaine. But come nighttime, jewelry took a much more elaborate turn. The evenings belonged to diamonds. Rose-cut and mine-cut would have been prevalent at this time. How better to sparkle in the candlelight than with diamonds?

This exemplary pair of earings comments on Georgian trends and shows movement into the 1850's-60's features diamond dew drops on floral leaves, adding that glisten and feminine nature.
