Chairman's Notes

At the beginning of the 19th century a key development was the use of the new metal, platinum. It was first seen in jewellery at the beginning of the Edwardian period. This opened up a new world for jewellery makers. At this time, platinum was largely used in the settings of pieces. It was used for its strength, and also its ability to be finely worked. These involved elegant garlands, bows and ribbons. Similarly, with the influence of nature, pansies, floral motifs, and daisy clusters, both drops and studs, along with single diamond earrings were in fashion.
