Our Top 5 Favorite Victorian Style Bridal Jewelry Pieces

Antique Victorian Jewelry belonging to the Victorian era was beautifully designed with gemstones, pearls, diamonds, crystals and shell-carved cameos. If your Great-grandma’s jewelry or your love for the Victorian era leads you to this article, we have some fabulously Victorian jewelry ideas for you here, regardless of whether you are looking for Victorian style Bridal Jewelry from scratch or only for some pieces to complement what you have already been handed down.

If you are a soon-to-be-bride in search of Victorian Style Wedding Jewelry, do not let the costs stop you from putting together a Vintage inspired look for your wedding day. Fabulous alternatives to the otherwise expensive antique Victorian jewelry are available at affordable prices ranging from under $50 for imitations to $5000 for jewelry painstakingly made using Victorian techniques.

Here are our favorite pieces to get the look:

1. Feather, Rosette and Cameo Lace Necklace

Cameo jewelry is a timeless style that inevitably recalls the Victorian era with silhouettes of Victorian women carved out on shell. While a single cameo pendant slipped into a satin ribbon of a contrasting color (your wedding colors or the color of your sash) is enough of a statement, we chose this extravagant piece for the bride who loves the flamboyance of the bygone era. Made in a neck-hugging Choker style, the necklace has tastefully arranged rosettes, lace flowers and beads on a bed of beached peacock feathers, a gorgeous Cameo pendant and a satin ribbon tie.

2. Large Crystal Victorian Brooch

A large faux gem clustered with crystals and a lovely dangle at the bottom. Pinning it to your dress or sash is only one way to use it. You can also add it your decorations, bouquet, bridesmaids favors, place cards and even on your purse, if you are carrying one. The store (mentioned below) also carry the same brooch in copper color.

3. Wedding Rings with Hair Lock

Nothing can beat the idea of Victorian Romance these rings create. If you are going to be a Victorian-inspired bride, you must definitely have your own favorite set of Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian romance novels where the Hero boldly or secretly takes a lock of hair of his fair lady, to enclose in his ring and to wear it forever. Bring that romance to your wedding and all your married life with these rings from Rickson Jewelry. Each ring is hand-carved and your hair is set, in beautiful patterns, behind sapphire crystal and set in a ring made of 10Kt yellow gold.
