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 Epoque. 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. Queen Victoria loved serpentine jewels, and she had even more power to shape trends than Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle do today. In 1840, Queen Victoria married the love of her life, her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. After the death of Victoria’s father and three childless uncles, she ascended to the throne at age 18. 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. (She was surpassed by Queen Elizabeth II in 2015.) During this time, different styles of fashion and jewelry came and went. Victorian jewelry is named after Queen Victoria, whose reign lasted from 1837 to 1901, making her the second longest-ruling monarch. Today, there is a vast collection of authentic Victorian jewelry and watches on 1stDibs. No single period has seen such a diverse group of jewelry attributed to it than the Victorian era.
