The Victorian period, 1837 - 1901, is famous for its very rare and elegant, hard to find designs! Queen Victoria was the ruling monarch during this period, hence the name Victorian. The Victorian period has three very distinct periods including the Romantic, Grand, and Late Victorian. Jewelry was often worn in abundance and expressed the wearer's wealth and social status. This period featured floral motifs, birds, bows, intricately engraved gold, enamel, and intricate seed pearl designs.

Repoussé began as an ancient metal working technique dating as far back as the 3rd century BC, involving malleable metal that was hammered onto the reverse side to create an image on the front. Examples are found all over the world; Greece, Egypt, and even the Hopewell periods in the American southeast.

Reverse side hammering was also used to add detail to the front, creating intricate patterns using grooves, indentations, and channeling. The piece was then carefully polished to create a hollow, eye-catching treasure. Please take this into consideration before.
