Victorian Love Jewelry
Jun 10th, 2007 by Lauri
Victorian Love Jewelry is all about the feeling of the Victorian Era in Modern Times. Nature, Beauty and Timeless Love. I designed each piece to feel magical when worn.
The Collections
Inspired by a very charming time. I use many mediums when making these pieces. Altered paper art, vintage Japanese roses, vintage charms, French Guilloche enamel roses, new charms made from vintage molds, crystal, pearls, and everything charming. This is where the fantasy begins.
You will find a world of charming bracelets, necklaces, Victorian Lady photo charms, and a lot of whimsy.

This is my version of Steampunk. For me it is sitting down with bits and pieces of antique pocket watches, vintage jewelry, a lost earring, antique optical lenses, and everything else at my fingertips. Then I ask myself, “what would a Victorian do with all of this?”.
The era of when Steam was the power that moved the world fascinates me and I often feel like I am a part of “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”.

Love. Isn’t it what makes the world go ’round? Wear one of these pieces and see love everywhere. Made from Swarovski Crystals, Sterling Silver, French Guilloche enamel, and you name it.

It wouldn’t be a Victorian garden without roses. Over the years I have found some of the most beautiful Sterling roses and have turned them into jewelry. Simple and elegant. You will also find simple necklaces made from vintage Japanese plastic roses. The detail on these roses is just stunning.

The Victorians loved the seashore and so do I. This collection inspired by my quiet times sitting by the shore. I hope they share those peaceful moments.

Glass beads with encased flowers, ribbons, rich leather and silk make beautiful moments when you wear this jewelry.

Trade with the Orient was booming, just like today. Pearls were the rage. Beautiful colors were everywhere. And Asian Wisdom was being brought to light.

Stones have magical healing powers. Wearing them can give your peace or bring you power. Which one are you looking for? I use large pendants, briolettes, and chips to conjure the feelings.

My twist on the lockets worn by Victorian women. These are little locks, so very sexy when worn.
