The reign of Queen Victoria encapsulates a quickly evolving period of history — and jewelry styles were no exception. No single period has seen such a diverse group of jewelry attributed to it than the Victorian era. Today, there is a vast collection of authentic antique Victorian jewelry and watches on 1stDibs.
Victorian jewelry is named after Queen Victoria, whose reign lasted from 1837 to 1901, making her the second longest-ruling monarch. (She was surpassed by Queen Elizabeth II in 2015.) During this time, different styles of fashion and jewelry came and went. Thanks to our fascination with royalty and swoon-worthy melodramas like Netflix’s The Crown — which is rife with evocative fashion, jewelry and interiors — and the 2017 feature film Victoria & Abdul, we are all familiar with her story. After the death of Victoria’s father and three childless uncles, she ascended to the throne at age 18. In 1840, Queen Victoria married the love of her life, her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Queen Victoria loved serpentine jewels, and she had even more power to shape trends than Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle do today. The British monarch’s best-known piece in this mold is the gold coiled-snake engagement ring she received from Prince Albert — the sinuous reptile was considered a symbol of everlasting love.
The Queen's 63-year reign has been divided by historians into the Romantic period, the early happy years, circa 1837–60; the Grand period, marked by the deaths of the Queen’s mother and husband, circa 1860–80; and the late Victorian or Aesthetic period, which lasted from about 1880 until 1901 and ushered in the Belle Époque. Queen Victoria wore her heart on her sleeve, and her fashion and jewelry reflected her emotions.
Romantic period jewelry, which featured common decorative motifs and was embellished with seed pearls, coral and turquoise, was a celebration of the young monarch’s love. Everything changed with the death of Prince Albert, and the Grand period is most often associated with mourning jewelry. Jewelry was smaller, lighter and more dainty during the late Victorian period. During this era, diamonds came into fashion, and semiprecious gems such as amethysts and opals became prevalent, too. Using gemstones for their natural beauty and not their worth was something that jewelers of the era felt passionate about, and this ideology would really become relevant in Art Nouveau jewelry.

Victorian 14K Gold & Black Enamel Belt Style Wedding Cuff Pair, Circa 1870s
Located in Towson, MD
This pair of 14K yellow gold belt style wedding cuffs dates to the 1870s, each bangle designed with an engraved buckle and latch motif filled with black enamel in a floral pattern. The gold has been acid tested as 14K yellow gold, and each cuff measures 3.25 inches in total diameter, with a circumference of 6.5 inches and a width of 5/8 inch. Each bracelet is secured by a hidden box clasp with a safety chain, one bracelet weighing 38.3 grams and the other 36.24 grams, for a combined total of 74.54 grams. Very small dents are present on the interior of the cuffs, consistent with their Victorian age. The belt and buckle motif was a favored design in Victorian jewelry, often read as a symbol of being bound together in fidelity and marriage. Bangles like these were frequently given by a husband to his wife as a wedding present, and their substantial gold weight meant they also served as a form of financial security for a wife, an asset she could call on if needed. They were worn through the various stages of Victorian life, including periods of mourning, and were traditionally made and given in pairs. Over generations, pairs were often separated as they were passed down, with one bangle going to each daughter, which is a large part of why a complete matching pair like this one is genuinely rare to find intact today. This pair suits a collector of Victorian gold jewelry...
