Georgian Jewellery

The Georgian era (1714–1830), named after the reigns of Britain’s four King Georges, was a time of refinement, elegance, and artistic innovation. Jewellery from this period reflected both status and sentiment, often inspired by nature, neoclassical influences, and the grandeur of the age. Pieces were meticulously handcrafted, making Georgian jewellery rare and highly sought after today. 

At Lancastrian Jewellers, our Georgian collection celebrates this remarkable chapter of history. From brooches adorned with delicate naturalistic motifs to intricately designed bracelets that capture the grace of the era, each piece embodies the craftsmanship and beauty that defined the 18th and early 19th centuries. Every gemstone and every detail tells a story of elegance, artistry, and the timeless allure of Georgian style. 

UK orders include FREE Postage via Royal Mail. International orders over £500 include FREE DHL Express shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

How To Identify Georgian Jewellery?

Georgian jewellery is often identified by its hand-crafted construction, closed-back settings, foil-backed stones, and lack of standardised hallmarks.

What Are The Characteristics Of Georgian Jewellery?

In Georgian pieces, you’ll often find ornate designs, repoussé metalwork, rose-cut or table-cut stones, and settings backed with foil to enhance sparkle.

What Materials Were Used in Georgian Jewellery?

Pieces were typically made from gold or silver-topped gold, set with diamonds, garnets, paste, quartz, and occasionally pearls.

Are Georgian Jewellery Pieces Always Unmarked?

Many Georgian pieces are unmarked, as hallmarking was inconsistent and not always applied, especially to smaller items.

Why Does Georgian Jewellery Look Different From Victorian Jewellery?

Georgian jewellery was entirely handmade and often heavier and more organic, while Victorian jewellery benefited from industrial techniques and more uniform designs.

What Georgian Jewellery Pieces Do You Offer?

Our stock is often rotating, so this can depend. We typically offer Georgian rings (including Georgian engagement rings) and a range of brooches, charms, and necklaces.

How Do I Care For My Georgian Jewellery?

Georgian jewellery should be handled gently and worn with care. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch, keep it away from moisture, heat, and chemicals, and avoid wearing it during daily activities. Never clean Georgian jewellery with water or ultrasonic cleaners, as many pieces have foil-backed stones that can be damaged. When in doubt, consult a professional experienced with antique jewellery.
