La era eduardiana lleva el nombre del rey Eduardo VII de Inglaterra y se refiere al corto período de su reinado entre 1901 Para 1910. Durante este período, el oficio de joyería floreció, con muchos estilos y materiales nuevos entrando en escena. El platino se convirtió en el metal favorito., as it allowed for delicate filigree work without losing its strength and integrity, while diamonds, colorful gemstones and elegant metalwork became the norm.
Jewelry was worn to show rank and wealth, and the jewelry designs were meant to convey power and majesty with their elegance and delicacy. Although the period ended very quickly, effectively dying out with the First World War, it has had a lasting impact with elements of the era influencing vintage and modern designs alike today.
