Collector Note On Egyptian Revival .  The distinct style, symbols and color palette of Egyptian jewelry are treasured and have been a great source of inspiration for jewelry throughout history. The Egyptian Udjat, or eye of Horus, symbolizing healing and protection: scarabs and lotus flower represented rebirth and resurrection: and the Ankh, a symbol of eternal life, area all prominent motifs in their jewelry. These symbols were often rendered from natural stones like turquoise, lapiz lazuli and carnelian providing a distinct color palette. After the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922, Egyptian jewelry designs flourished throughout the western world and continue to have a specialized category in collectables.

On Victorian.  A young Queen Victoria assumed her role in 1837 and her taste in jewelry quickly became culturally influential, within England and beyond. Her relationship to jewelry was enmeshed with her husband, Prince Albert, who gifted the Queen for their engagement, a snake ring, embedded with an emerald (her birthstone) in its head. Continuing from the Georgian era and intensified by Queen Victoria ’ s  taste, sentimental and figural jewelry was a major trend throughout the Victorian era. When certain ideas and words were deemed too forward or improper to be spoken, jewelry and symbolic meaning was used to communicate what was left unsaid.
