“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year ...”
Dickens wrote our favorite Christmas story, A Christmas Carol, in the Victorian Age. Victorian style, prominent in London during Queen Victoria’s reign (1837–1901), was a reflection of the era’s grandeur, romance, and sentimentality. Victorian jewelry often featured intricate craftsmanship, symbolic motifs, and the use of precious stones. London was home to many who created these designs that still captivate collectors today.
We have taken a cue from Dickens’ London and created a collection of jewelry using London blue topaz stones.
Only London blue topaz is named for this elegant city because it is the stone with the most sophisticated blue color. Here over 1-1/3 carats of this lovely stone are surrounded by DiamondAura® and set in 14k rose gold-clad sterling silver. The matching necklace and earrings would look perfect in Dickens day. So no “bah humbugs” this year. As Scrooge finally learned, “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
