Epoka edwardiańska została nazwana na cześć króla Anglii Edwarda VII i odnosi się do krótkiego okresu jego panowania pomiędzy 1901 Do 1910. W tym okresie, rozkwitło rzemiosło jubilerskie, z wieloma nowymi stylami i materiałami wkraczającymi na scenę. Platyna stała się ulubionym metalem, 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.
