Edwardian era, like the Georgian and Victorian eras before it, derives its name from the reign of the English King, Edward VII (1901-1910). Edwardian jewelry is known for representing femininity while incorporating a lot of the color white. Think diamonds, pearls and white metals like platinum and white gold. Diamonds often had an Old Mine or European cut and sapphires were a popular choice for a pop of color. They tended to be made from platinum and diamonds – the more, the merrier – and used fashionable, intricate techniques such as filigree and millegrain. Edwardian rings are works of art and best worn alone or alongside a simple wedding band. Millegraining, a new decorative technique made possible by the use of platinum, is featured often on Edwardian jewelry. Its border of delicate balls and ridges surrounding a gemstone or on the knife sharp edges of a design served to give jewelry a softer, lighter look.

Note: Guilloché is used in fine jewelry to enhance the appearance of brooches, rings and pendants. Guilloché enamel refers to metal pieces that have been given the Guilloché treatment and then covered with a translucent layer of enamel, giving the geometric patterns underneath the enamel a colorful hue. The word originates from France dating back to the 18th century when a French engineer named Guillot invented a tool / turning machine - although this fact and his existence are often debated.

Note: The movement has been serviced and cleaned and is running accurate.

Collateral: It is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box.

Condition: The overall condition of this watch is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold or the enamel. The diamond is secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.
