The Edwardian era is the period of time stretching from the end of the nineteenth century and into the beginning of the twentieth century. Approximately from 1890-1915. It was named for the English monarch Edward VII. It was during this time that jewelers began extensively working with platinum. It was favored by superb craftsmen for its beautiful, brilliant sheen as well as its hardness.

A key element of the Edwardian jewelry style is flowing, graceful lines, including bows, florals, garlands, ribbons, loops and many other curved motifs. Fine millegrain borders and pierced patterns that turned platinum into lustrous lace were popular accents.

Colored stones that paired well with platinum were very popular in Edwardian engagement rings but large center stones could be diamonds. The most desirable shapes were round, oval and marquis diamond. Stacked ring designs were popular and Edwardian-era rings tend to be opulent larger pieces.
